At this point it seems pretty clear that no more planes are actively planned. I don’t think the judge is going to try to claw those poor people out of the Salvadoran prison.
Might as well slow down a bit, litigate the appeal, and litigate the preliminary injunction to get something more permanent. Then move for sanctions and/or contempt. Let the news cycle recycle, then hit it.
It’s not just lawmakers. There’s a bunch of lawsuits trying to use the federal courts to figure out:
These are all things that have been shrouded in secrecy, obfuscation, and contradiction. Because the truth is that the real answers are not legally sound. The fact that these people are scared to say the real truth is a good sign, because it means they still have some fear of the courts and institutions. Those institutions still have some power to mess up the plan.
Back in the day this was called slave patrol.
More than a decade
NOAA government nautical chart from today:
That clause was targeted at, and is still targeted at, foreign diplomats who have diplomatic immunity. If you can’t be compelled to to pay your parking tickets because you put the little flag on your car, then your babies also don’t get to be Americans. Easy.
If your typical non-little-flag-on-car undocumented immigrants are really “not subject to the jurisdiction,” then how can you arrest them for all of the horrible crimes they are allegedly committing?
The state capital on the cover was not in area code 318 or the listed coverage area of this directory.
They probably didn’t understand who Metternich and Guizot were.
Any trip to Mars is going to involve massive amounts of personal suffering and privation.
Minimum mission duration of 3 years. Living space no larger than a small RV. All the food is freeze dried. Can you imagine the smell that will develop? If anything breaks, it’s on you to fix it, and there is no trip down to the hardware store, and no United Rentals to bail you out. Any medical complication? There’s no ER, just whatever you’ve got in the kit.
And that’s not even starting on the chronic radiation hazard for which there is no viable option to deploy shielding. And a freak solar flare can cook you with acute radiation that will kill you at any time.
Seriously, we’re talking about an adventure that would be way more epic than Shackleton.
Fine.
Although the tenth does end with
…are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The court affirmed migrants’ right to interstate travel,
Fun fact: this is an unenumerated right of the people that courts have consistently recognized. The tenth amendment promises that the people retain their natural rights, even if they’re not explicitly listed in the Constitution.
This is exactly the same category as the right to privacy that was postulated in Roe v. Wade and overturned in Dobbs.
What the heck do ya think you’re gonna do with a flare gun?
That is pretty insane. Opiates seem like they would make terrible chemical weapons.
Musk has a security clearance for the SpaceX contracts, right? Did he file the proper forms reporting the foreign contacts?
This is a reminder to American service members:
Your oath of allegiance is to the United States, not to Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris. You have a duty to obey lawful orders issued under the authority of the commander in chief. But it is your duty to disobey unlawful orders.
If it’s a federal life sentence, then surely it should be “federal prosecutors in Virginia,” not “Virginia prosecutors.” Confusing as hell. I thought this life sentence was in state court with a parallel case in federal court.
Fracking means that the in United States is the chief petro state of the world, and can safely ignore OPEC.
This situation is going to continue in geopolitics at least into the 2040s regardless of what the policy on renewables is.
Most of the regular crew gets a sleeping bag in a cupboard with some small locker space for personal effects.
Wilmore has just the bag, off in the Japanese module. And I guess he has to store personal effects in the Starliner. Though presumably he only packed for 8 days.
In climate controlled zero gravity, there’s no point to having more bedding than a light sleeping bag just to keep you from floating off somewhere. My guess is the big selling point on the cupboards is some noise damping, and maybe some protection from lighting. Spacecraft have noisy machines running all the time to keep you alive
Petition was filed around 24 hours ago, but no summons, no other evidence of service, and no bail motion ready to go. Plaintiff is certainly not bringing to bear the same kind of litigation resources that Khalil gets from the ACLU.
