  • I have. What vote are you challenging? The CR was not the leverage people say it was. A shutdown would permit Trump to terminate non-essential workers under the lack of funding portion of his emergency executive order. None of the other votes are problematic in that they passed with simple majority and Democrats have minority.

    They did, however, take every opportunity to confirm Biden’s pending judge appointments when Republican attendance was low, prompting Johnson’s push for proxy voting. They also mandated a 15-day vote against Trump’s emergency EO, which prompted Republicans to redefine the congressional calendar to avoid holding. They’re also the ones partnering with the ACLU to bring these cases to the courts, and are now flying to El Salvador to press Bukele into compliance.

  • This is as fast a just court can go. If you want it done more quickly, we’ll need Republicans in Congress to find their spines.

    They only have until the 23rd to substantiate their defense before Boasberg charges them. He also states that if Trump’s DoJ refuses to comply, he will appoint an attorney to do so.

  • That’s not entirely accurate. His immunity for “official acts of the office of the President” is to be determined by the presiding judge. An “official act” has yet to be defined, and there is nothing written about charges. He can and should be charged as well, so we can begin to define the limits of his immunity. Refusing to challenge it in fear that it will be overturned, is exactly what he’s hoping for.

  • She did, with an injunction that they are continuing to defy. That’s another contempt of court charge. She has to do this slowly and methodically to prevent giving them evidence of bias when they appeal her rulings. The downside to a just court is the pace. Had we a functional Congress that wasn’t packed with loyalists, this would’ve been over by now.

  • Right. The only guideline that I’ve followed regarding DEI hiring is including a diverse group of interviewees. I’m still only hiring the most qualified people. Basically, if your sample group is heavily weighted towards one demographic, you may not have interviewed the full spectrum of diverse candidates available simply by using random selection.

  • That’s precisely why they don’t want to return Garcia. Once he shared the details of the cruel and unusual punishment that the inmates endure, SCOTUS would have to prohibit incarceration in CECOT under the Eighth Amendment.
