Totally disagree. You’ve gotta put it in the frame of what’s going on in this country. This 2020 election is for all the marbles, not for four more years. If he wins, we’re likely going to slide into an authoritarian dictatorship. So losing the battle but winning the war (as long as we keep playing by the normal rules after the election) is useless, because we won’t be playing by the normal rules.
Like, if any court packing happens in America in 2021, it probably means Trump won and appointed six justices that will side with him on everything.
I agree with your overall take, so maybe this is the difference: I had long ago internalized and accepted that we’d never win anything of significance here, so these decisions aren’t a huge blow to me.
I dont think anyone was expecting that. Just like how long have these people been trying to get these, hasn’t it been several years? like how do we have a system for oversight, that can be held up in the courts for multiple years and then get sent back to the courts. Like yea we have oversight but for it to take effect it seems you need to have a two term president?
Ds got destroyed is the correct take. It’s post dated until after November at which point a) Rs use this as an excuse to drag Biden into court on January 21, 2021 b) Trump pulls a win out of his ass and is like sure look at all the records you want… or maybe I will tell you to fuck off just cuz fuck you, that’s why… doesn’t really matter either way, I own the country now…
Most of the eDems are millionaires with all the things that they allegedly fight for on behalf of the middle class and the working class. I am certain they don’t feel “destroyed” by these political losses. Just something else to discuss on the way to the beach house for the weekend .
I’m sure its lawbro shit but like why does he get to assert more reasons for why he shouldnt have to turn them over? Like hey bro lets give you another shot.
i think it would be amusing and obviously dangerous but mostly amusing if the state of Oklahoma just ousted all the inmates they lost jurisdiction over today. like immediate release and tell the Fed since you guys wanted them you can catch them.
Sometimes arguments go from “in principle” (eg, on a motion to dismiss) to “well, how about the actual facts in this particular case” (as in a motion to quash). Sometimes they’re dealt with together, but not when SCt provides new guidance for the applicable legal analysis in a particular case.
thanks, also I’m seeing even before Deutsche bank announcment, that the NY AG/grand jury would still see the returns soon? Hows that possible or where is that coming from?
Edit: From Neal Kaytal he’s basically saying the Vance case can move very fast so he expects resolution before election, hopefully with Deustche providing stuff maybe that happens
