  1. Should be interesting to see the DOJ's response. Considering the wagons have been circled since day one, we may see an independent prosecutor execute this referral. If so, discovery might have some fun details about the early days of the deportation campaign.

    The administration has been flaunting the fact that judges can't easily police their bad faith actions ("oops, too late", "ms13 is an invading military"). Here Boasberg has found a low threshold for holding the administration accountable.

  2. > “The Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt,” Boasberg wrote in a 46-page ruling detailing his decision.

    The title correctly states that Boasberg found cause to hold the government in criminal contempt. It correctly did not state that Boasberg did not hold the government in civil contempt, yet.

  3. Political? This is law and crime. It's also relevant to someone, such as yourself, who occasionally comments on civil liberties.
  4. Please do enough reading to realize this is a different case.
  5. Surely the Eric Adams thing was an isolated incident!
  6. Trump v. United States. He could theoretically be impeached but if Congress wasn't going to it after he kinetically attacked them, it's not going to happen.

    Others: pardon power.

  7. Might be what they used prior to taking office, having not spent a career using systems approved for classified information.
  8. Say what you will about his funding methods but the wall solved immigration as promised. Never heard about illegal border crossings again after it was built.
  9. You post something and based on its content you assume someone from an ideological group flagged it. And for that reason you flag and opinion of someone you assume is from that group?

    What a way to live.

  10. I stand corrected. Please flag anything you disagree with.
  11. This seems like an advertisement.
  12. Lol in consecutive comments you claim the whistleblower made it up and NPR made it up. Take a break.
  13. The "looking at" process is still subject to federal law.
  14. "People don't like my opinions therefore I am going to sabotage the discussion from obscurity."
  15. You flag posts with politics because you don't like having been flagged?
  16. He told Time (POTY interview) that because Congress didn't fund his wall idea and he had to take it from the military, he was going to do everything through executive action.
  17. Finally the government is run like a business - a magical world outsourcing, capricious decisionmaking, and c-suite self-delusion.

    I am so glad we slaughtered the Deep State that made us ... checks notes ... the global hegemon.

  18. Agree with your conclusion but the SCOTUS order was much softer than that, slapping the lower court's terminology while passing the enforcement burden back down (and all but ensuring another trip upwards).
  19. So this money is already appropriated and going to be redirected to institutions that pledge fealty?
  20. Politics was already short on ideological consistency before the age of alternative facts.
  21. I am going to be so much more productive now that I'm incentivized to code everything from scratch.
  22. Especially the most conservative person.
  23. Uh yeah, why wouldn't I?

    I mean I don't know that it's their policy but it sure looks that way.

  24. Or the Supreme Court.
  25. Hyperbole doesn't help at all.

    Police the violence, not the speech.

  26. Maybe their endowment is held in treasurys they should start selling off...
  27. It could have been water under the bridge if we simply did not re-elect him. But now we have a second term emboldened by de facto total immunity.
  28. Habeas corpus - still in effect unless you're already in El Salvador.
  29. That's how I imagine facebook but haven't been there in years.
