Not likely 8-1 - it’s an unsigned order, and only Sotomayor and Jackson had anything to say. All we know is that at least four of Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett, Kagan agreed with the stay.

The article says that there were 4400 Covid deaths when the country was 75% vaccinated - but sneakily doesn’t say how many of those 4400 deaths came from the vaxed 75% and how many came from the unvaxed 25%.

The autopen may be legal but The President must be competent and in his right mind.

Which is to say, the autopen is a giant distraction. There's no "may be legal" to it, an autopen signature is every bit as binding as any other signature. What matters, for any signature, whether manual or autopen, is whether the signer knew what they were signing.

First step is doing a reverse image search on those photos of pallets of bricks. So far every one that I’ve tried turns out to be an old picture from somewhere else, that some clown on the internet picked up and reposted with some bogus captioning saying that it’s LA or whereever.

No.

But did these go to illegals? You have to show proof of lawful presence to apply for EBT.

Which illegals were getting $7k/mo? Serious question, I’m trying to understand what program was paying that out.

Right, that’s Bragg’s criminal case. Not the one in this thread. And even Bragg’s case won’t have any bearing on paying for NDAs by congress - the NDA itself is perfectly legal, so is paying for it, the crime was funneling the money through Cohen instead of paying it directly and that’s only a crime under New York law not federal.

I think you’ve mixed them up, not me. The headline and Fox article are both about the civil fraud case brought by Letitia James and presided over by judge Engoron. It’s a civil case so can’t lead to any criminal conviction, whether felony or misdemeanor, and has nothing to do with campaign donations. The criminal case is the one brought by Alvin Bragg and presided over by judge Merchan. And both are New York State cases so irrelevant to any member of Congress.

How do you figure that? This is a civil case in the New York courts based on New York laws. Civil case means nothing to do with any sort of criminal charges, New York laws means not federal.

It’s going to be a wild four years…. But there’s a reason why “May you live in interesting times” is considered a curse not a blessing.

They could have left it in limbo, but that would have been a relist which isn’t what happened here.

They could have sent it back to the lower court, but they do that by granting cert, then after oral argument releasing an opinion explaining what the lower court got wrong and directing the lower court to act in accordance with the opinion.

What they did, in the Jan 9 order (https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/010923zor_p860.pdf) is deny cert. That kills the case dead forever.

“Tulsi Gabbard says she was placed on the enhanced screening list” and “Tulsi Gabbard was placed on the enhanced screening list” are different things. We only have sauce for one of them.

The court didn’t accept the case, they rejected it on Jan 9 2023 and then on Feb 21 refused Brunson’s request that they reconsider the initial rejection.

Brunson claimed that he had a rule 11 case, but the court disagreed. https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/22-380.html

They tossed it for good, on Feb 21 2023. https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/22-380.html

All of the Brunson cases are stone-cold dead - cert denied. There’s no source for this talk of a non-disclosure agreement, even if there was one it wouldn’t do what people are saying it would, and he can’t have won his case because it was never even argued.

Sorry, this stuff is hopium being pushed by someone who doesn’t understand the legal issues here.

The VP’s power as president of the Senate is pretty much zero except when there is a tied vote - then they get to break the tie. But other than that…. No power to bring things up for a vote, no power to stop a vote, no power over committee assignments, no power to change the Senate rules, and certainly no power to unseat the majority leader.

This story is pretty much totally bogus. A Dutch court ruled that a civil case against Bourla could proceed but that’s about it. No indictment, no criminal charges, no trial, and because it’s a civil case no possibility of jail time or other criminal punishment.

These 98000 aren’t non-citizens, they are people whose driver’s licenses were first issued before 1996. They were supposed to be asked submit some additional proof of citizenship (a license issued after 1996 was automatically good) but owing to a DMV screwup it didn’t happen.

37% of them are registered Republicans.

And this ruling only applies to the races for Arizona state office, they’ve been eligible to vote for federal office (president, VP, senator, representative) all along and unrelated to this case.

First posted to 4chan in 2020 - the date is even in the image. So you’re right, no discernible Musk connection here.

What in the constitution disallows it?

This is total crap. Is there anyone here who doesn’t know that “Shared from a friend. Passing it on” means “no valid source anywhere”? And this post won’t even say which state’s “Poll Manager” training they went through.

Writing on a ballot doesn’t disqualify it. even if there’s enough marking that the machine can’t read the ballot, the machine spits it back out and then it goes through the spoiled ballot process (You get a new ballot to fill out, the spoiled ballot is marked with overvotes in all races so it can’t slip back in, and the whole thing is logged and the spoiled ballot filed for the post-election audit),.

The debt is owed to the owners of treasury securities: bonds, bills, notes. It is a legal debt.

Focusing on the percentages may be counterproductive when we consider that

1. the mixed-race Jamaican ancestors might as well have been 100% black for all cultural and social purposes. Mixed was black back then (and still is, in many people’s minds).
2. Howard University and Alpha Kappa Alpha are solidly in the mainstream of the African-American identity.

That is the exact same section that I quoted, the part where Waite recognizes the open question and then explicitly does not address it as not relevant to this case.
