SCOTUS

[Uncle Ted]

So do the people who supported the immunity decision still support it knowing trump can't held liable for anything he does for 4 years?

Yeah, and it is safe for Thomas and Alito to retire given it looks like the GOP'ers will control the senate as well... Replace them with some young conservative judges.

Hell, might as well pack the court with a half dozen more young judges too like the Dems were threatening to do.

Jack Smith reindicted on most of the original charges. Something that was sworn to me by many Defenders of Democracy^TM would not be possible due to the tyranny of the SCOTUS decision.

No one said he couldn't reindict without a careful revision. You're making that up.

I didn’t support the decision necessarily, but it isn’t an accurate statement that he can’t be held liable for ANYTHING. There are some things he can’t be held liable for, which could be a little scary.

I don't even know the latest. Trump shits outs updated or new scandals by the minute.

Ok so with the renewed indictment against Trump, will everyone who hyperventilated about the SCOTUS immunity decision admit they were either freaking out unnecessarily or being deliberately disingenuous?

I was curious that Gorsuch joined the dissent, but then upon a cursory reading, it seems in line with his jurisprudential philosophy that courts only need to do the minimum to fix a perceived problem. Note that there were 3 claims that all the court agreed on keeping the injunction. The 4 dissenters say that parts of the rule appear to have no bearing on the transgender issues from the record and that therefore the stay should be narrowed.

Without looking at the entire record that was considered, I tend to agree with the dissent that any injunctions should be only broad enough to address the potential harms shown. 5 said that the harms shown justify the total injunction.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Temporary injunction. 5-4 decision.

I oppose term limits...unless we're also redefining how the pension system works for former members of Congress.

[Uncle Ted]

LOL... Dems think they can just change the constitution with a pen stroke.

Yeah, if they are going to amend the constitution they need to put in term limits for themselves (congress) at the same time.... Otherwise, they can go F themselves with their election year bullsh*t. Funny coming from someone that was in the senate for like 40 years.

Biden is likely to endorse establishing term limits for justices and an enforceable code of ethics, in an announcement that represents a remarkable shift for a president who had long resisted calls to overhaul the high court.

He is also expected to push for a constitutional amendment limiting immunity for presidents and certain other officeholders, in a response to the court’s July 1 ruling that presidents are shielded from prosecution for “official acts” during their time in office, in a case brought by former President Donald Trump.

Cool... now all he has to do is get 2/3rds vote in both houses and 3/4ths of the states to agree to ratify. While he is at it add term limits for both houses (and see it get shot in a bipartisan fashion).

That financial incentive was singled out by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in her dissent late Wednesday after the Supreme Court declined to block the controversial law. In effect, Texas lawmakers have "deputized the state's citizens as bounty hunters, offering them cash prizes for civilly prosecuting their neighbors' medical procedures," she wrote

Someone on the medical staff broke HIPAA for the $10,000.

Bait?

Not on my boat.

Trolling flashers and squids with downriggers. Same thing you use for salmon in Alaska, just smaller.

I usually just tied red yarn on hooks for salmon running in Alaska... but I'm fishing the shores of the rivers and not in a boat. Salmon spawning have only one thing on their minds running up the river and will strike at anything that hits their nose. And then egg patterns for fishing trout following the salmon going up the rivers. Of course, I don't think they let you fish the Kokanee when they are spawning in Utah.

Yeah, these guys are fishing with a lot of hardware...
