It's also *checks notes* April.

I mean, name one politician you could trust with that power? 

There is no human that can go through what is needed to go through to be president that wouldn't abuse the crap out of that power. 

Something like 20-30 companies would effectively hold that same power immediately upon the ruling being made.  Is this not setting up the king for a day scenario, but forever instead of a day?

I didn't listen to the argument and don't know what the specific case issues are, but it seems to me like SCOTUS could easily avoid almost all the legal questions involved by just saying there is no way you can consider a president's conspiracy to undermine his own elected ouster to be an "official act" of a president. That is, quite possibly, the most ridiculous thing I could imagine any U.S. court ruling--much less the Supreme Court.

Trump's position is premised on the argument that he should only be subject to criminal prosecution if he is impeached and convicted by the senate, but if undermining the political process itself is part of the immunity then that qualification is meaningless in the hands of a tyrant, who could simply threaten/coerce/assassinate any who would seek to carry out impeachment proceedings. The democratic experiment would be over.

That may sound alarmist, but what I'm actually getting at here is "losing" this case only means that the Supreme Court declines to give clearer instructions as to whether immunity for criminal charges is ever an option for acts taken by a president. There's no way he gets out of facing charges for Jan. 6.

Unless Trump wins, I assume.

There's still the Georgia case.

It is indeed for my stabbin cabin, and I make no apologies for it. I like to shoot sporting clays, but am new to it and not very good. Decent at trap, but those clays are trickier.  I’m not a very big hunter but feel little remorse blasting birds, because they are descended from dinosaurs and I am anti-dinosaur. How I was raised.

I probably won’t get a new Citori. Will probably get a used “field” one so that it’s more useful regardless of circumstances.

Birds are also huge assholes, so this makes sense.

do smart phones ever appear in your guys' dreams? I can't think of a single dream i've had where there was a smart phone.

Yeah, I can recall. It was a very mundane dream.

If you do attend, try not to get Weatherwax'd.

Am I just being a little bitch in thinking that this presidential immunity thing might be super important and perhaps might be something that will eff this whole thing up?


I think there's no way SCOTUS will say that a President has total and complete immunity while in office (note that the documents case would still survive). However, I also said there's no way they'd overturn Roe and its progeny, so what the hell do I know?

Big Rig Biden has a good cadence for chanting. It's a bit ambiguous, though, regarding which Biden's rig you're talking about.

Going along with dax's hardworkin/hardscrewin theme how about "big Rig Joe"?

As our wise forebears were wont to say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I like Pile Driving Joe.  Good job dax!

I think Fuckin' Joe Biden works, too (but only Dr. Jill).

6 weeks is a long time.

That depends on your perspective, man ...

So I guess they have selected a jury for the Stormy Daniels case. What is going to happen here, legal experts?

The jury and alternates were selected on Friday. Opening arguments were on Monday. A guy named Pecker (no joke) has been on the stand for the prosecution rough ridin' Trump. He worked/works for the National Enquirer and outlined the "catch and kill" scheme to benefit Trump's campaign in 2015/2016. The trial is expected to last at least 6 weeks. Slow going, thus far. They are only in court 4 days a week (no Wednesdays), and they seem to have relatively short days and long lunches.

Long overdue. Glad he didn't go all O.J. about it.

Well they mumped up and tried to deliver the wrong range and oven to me.  So now I have to cook without one for two weeks while they secure the thing I actually ordered ...

Sounds like the appliance applied YOU

On the previous page you called me a POS for pointing out that our current crap show administration was providing much of the weaponry that Israel was and is using to raze Gaza.

Oh, so the exact opposite of what I meant?

I'm actually kind of surprised and impressed that dax is willing to be so antisemitic.

Link? When I search for that, I get only 1 result, which is this post right here.

I'm simply asking for you to point to the posts where I said what you are claiming I said. You owe me that kindness.

Cat . . . Its amazing to watch you make things up as you go along.

#blogkaren (who is now trying to fall back on the ol "just joshin ya" shtick which is just so very pathetic even for him/her) clearly indicated that discussing and being against the genocide being committed in Gaza by Israel was anti-semetic.

Fact: There are Anti-Israel protests underway on college campuses (Columbia is shutting down on campus classes for the rest of the year  :lol: )

Fact: There are people being arrested-suspended-blocked-silenced for protesting against Israel on many of these same campuses

Fact: There are Jewish/Pro-Israel faculty being blocked from entering campuses

Fact: College campuses are bastions for #blueanon

Cure some sort of triggered nonsensical gibberish from BAC which will center around me in some weird ass way

None of that has anything to do with me.

Please quote any post of mine that corroborates your accusation.
