  • It wouldn't free them, but it would give them the argument that the law is not enforceable.

    The ruling would get challenged and quickly shot down in a higher court. There's no way that the government would allow one of their favorite hammers to use against dissidents get gutted.

  • His only play is to use endless motions, no matter how absurd, to keep delaying in the hopes that he gets back in office to follow through on his dictatorship promise and pardon himself or install cronies to all justice department positions to drop all cases.

  • Somebody could go to jail for this. You.

    The DMCA makes it a felony to circumvent protections in services. If they wanted to push this and depending on the system disabling or using some hack to bypass could be illegal.

    I don't think that anyone would actually bring the case against an individual, but a company selling any sort of device or instructions to make it easier for people could be targeted.

  • The government buys your data, too. And not just your government.

    For any legal case, government or your spouse's divorce attorney, it's a low bar to soupeana "business records" from these companies.

    The US needs stronger data protection and privacy laws. Unfortunately, the corporations buy enough politicians to prevent it.

  • Hopefully, every bank is on to his scams at this point and would require 3rd party appraisals.

    I would be more concerned that he would use it to launder money. For example, he can't use campaign money to pay his civil judgment, but his campaign could "rent" some space and other services from Trump corp for exorbitant amounts to raise the funds to pay the loan. He has been using the scam to launder Russia mob money since the 80s.

  • Maybe he believed it, maybe not.

    My take is that Bush was trying to sell the WMD bullshit so hard he wouldn't be above telling allies that he could make flying monkeys shoot out of his ass if he thought that it would get him any support for his war to enrich defense contractors.

  • With the extremely limited info available, it could also be two people who were wildly shooting at each other in a crowd. It would not be the first time that some stupid beef between people at a celebration escalates into a gun battle that takes out more bystanders than participants.
