Consider this, the judge agreed that Trump engaged in insurrection and the petitioners were right in every single claim except that "he was not an officer of the United States". The appeal only needs to overturn that one part of the decision. The facts have now been laid out and a federal judge agreed with all but one of them. If we had a normal Supreme Court, this would be a slam dunk.

We'll have to arrest half of Congress then. Considering how far up trump's ass most of the Republican Party is, they could all be convicted of gay sex.

He didn't "have sex with" a 14yo. Just as the charge says, he "sexually abused" a 14yo. He's a rapist and molester.

Also, of course, "insists that he did nothing wrong". He's a republican. It's ok for them. /s

They don't like anything that could call into question their claimed right to rule.

If this flies, you know Trump will create another party.

Yup, he moved them to the left. Just left of the Nazi Party.

1. No surprise who voted to allow Florida to impose vaguely worded laws it could twist any way it wanted
2. It's all about the vagueness.

There is only one proper response to this:

Texas has been majority white since at least the mid 1800s, but Hispanics have been expected to overtake the majority for some time. Now, new data shows that happened at some time in 2022.

The U.S. Census Bureau updated its official population estimates, and the numbers confirm Latinos have officially made up the largest share of the state’s population since at least last July.

Lloyd Potter, state demographer of Texas and director of the Texas Demographic Center, said Hispanic Texans made up 40.2% of the state’s population last summer, edging out non-Hispanic white Texans, who made up 39.8%.

“When we look at demographic and population change, there’s what we refer to as components of population change,” Potter said. “The three major components are births, deaths and net migration. So when we look at and when we compare population change between the non-Hispanic white population and the Hispanic population, the dynamics of those elements are different.”

For example, Hispanics tend to have higher birth rates than the non-Hispanic white population, Potter said.

It will be written in big, bold letters. On the beach. At low tide.

Isn't that what amendments are supposed to do?

Good. Bankrupt your church and catch a longer sentence.

Unless a counselor believes, and I mean truly believes, that a single session is going to suddenly stop someone from molesting their own child whom they come in contact with daily, priests should, in my opinion, be covered by the Tarasoff decision. There are similar exceptions in states other than California.

https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.ajp-rj.2018.130402

In Tarasoff v. Regents of the University of California (1976), the California Supreme Court held that mental health providers have an obligation to protect persons who could be harmed by a patient. The court’s decision mandates that mental health professionals use “reasonable care” in informing authorities or warning potential victims, initially referred to as the “duty to warn,” or by using whatever means deemed necessary, should they determine that a patient poses a threat to a third party.

Prep your popcorn.

I'm sure all the fringe medical therapy groups (read: scam artists) will jump right on this. Not that there's really any difference between someone selling boner pills and these guys.

There are a number of republicans that would disagree. Thankfully, they've been told no.

The independent state legislature theory or independent state legislature doctrine (ISL) is a judicially rejected legal theory that posits that the Constitution of the United States delegates authority to regulate federal elections within a state to that state's elected lawmakers without any checks and balances from state courts, governors, or other bodies with legislative power (such as constitutional conventions or independent commissions).

The document's authors deem this alternative to be the most desirable for Israel's security.

Let me fix that for you.

The document's authors deem this alternative to be the most desirable for creating a whole hell of a lot more problems for Israel.

Eventually, those chickens will return home to roost.

Isn't that the Pope's job?

In case somebody misses it, The Borowitz Report is satire.

So he's saying good Christians bear false witness?
