Trump took all swing states, suck on that cuck!

And what do all the voters in those swing states have in common? Anger over inflation. Nationally, inflation was by far the #1 most important issue Americans were concerned about.

Thank you, sincerely, for saving me the time to research which court made the ruling.

Traditionally, U.S. Courts of Appeals serve as gatekeepers to the U.S. Supreme Court, keeping district court judges in check.1 Circuit court panels, typically comprising three judges randomly selected from a pool of often ideologically diverse jurists, are supposed to review district court decisions with a degree of caution and procedural care.2 Many circuit courts have high standards when reviewing a case where the outcome could profoundly affect the entire country.3 The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, however, has recently proved to be an outlier in any type of effective gatekeeping, with disastrous results for stable jurisprudence and the American people.4

The rogue 5th Circuit Court has helped undermine the separation of powers, established precedent, and principled legal reasoning to accomplish right-wing policy goals; the Supreme Court continuing to follow suit would strip power away from elected representatives and American voters.

Can the federal government crack down on misinformation online without stomping on the First Amendment? That’s just one hard question that remains unresolved after Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling.

They covered it. They didn't cover it positively.

You seem upset they didn't cover it as Faux and all the other conservative media outlets did. Do you think media outlets were obligated to cover trump positively? How do you put a positive spin on the incident at Arlington Cemetery? Or false accusations of immigrants eating pets? Or his continuing lies about his plot to steal the election?

 

[OKTexas]

No, see, it's racist to expect non-whites to obey the law! They're too dumb!

Or so white Democrats believe.

No law enforcement agency is required to divulge their operational plans, not even to a bunch of commie lawyers.

Trump transition figure warns DOJ lawyers: Get on board or get out

A conservative lawyer working on Donald Trump’s transition, Mark Paoletta, offered a stark warning to career Justice Department lawyers Monday that those who refuse to advance Trump’s agenda should resign or face the possibility of being fired.

“Once the decision is made to move forward, career employees are required to implement the President’s plan,” Paoletta wrote in a post on X responding to a POLITICO story detailing widespread fear among DOJ lawyers about being asked to advance or defend policies they consider unethical or illegal.

“If these career DOJ employees won’t implement President Trump’s program in good faith, they should leave,” Paoletta said. “Those employees who engage in so-called ‘resistance’ against the duly-elected President’s lawful agenda would be subverting American democracy (or upholding it). … [t]hose that take such actions would be subject to disciplinary measures, including termination.”

Paoletta recited a laundry list of Trump goals, including mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, issuing pardons and commutations to Jan. 6 defendants, reversing “lawfare and persecution of political opponents,” and “holding accountable those who weaponized their government authority to abuse Americans.”

Let's begin with this, trump's goal coming in to the start of his admin is to purge the government of those viewed to be disloyal. This has been well advertised.

Now consider the ACLU plans to challenge the legality of trump using the law he plans to use to facilitate mass deportations.

https://www.usmessageboard.com/threads/i-heard-an-interesting-interview-with-the-head-of-the-aclu-yesterday.1134492/#post-35690588

If members of the DoJ agree with the ACLU's position, will they be fired before the matter can be adjudicated? Because it seems to me the admin is already looking for a pretense to fire people opposed to their policies...........policies which may be illegal.

In his first admin a number of high ranking DoJ officials said they world resign if Jeff Clark was made acting AG. No such officials will be part of the new admin if trump has his way.

To be clear, if DoJ employees try to block legal and ethical policy goals firing them is appropriate.

If Justice department personnel refuse to abandon the lawfare and persuing people based on their political views, they should quit or be fired.

The Biden Admin put out press releases saying TRUMP IS SUPER HITLER and the press repeated it verbatim, no questions, no hesitation.

I know this seems "fair and balanced" to Democrats, but to normal people, it's not.

It was free campaign press for Harris.

The media didn't declare it as contributions, and neither did Harris.

But you're okay with state-sponsored media handing people Official Approved Opinions.

It saddens me to see the continued corruption of the legal system by Repubs.

Donald Trump’s criminal case in Georgia is now on hold — indefinitely.

The Georgia Court of Appeals announced Monday that it has canceled arguments that were set for next month in the president-elect’s bid to kick Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis off of the case in which he’s charged with conspiring to corrupt Georgia’s 2020 election results.

The one-page order, signed by the clerk of the court, doesn’t explain the decision to scuttle the scheduled Dec. 5 arguments or identify which judges signed off on it. All four of Trump’s criminal cases have now faced delays since his election to a second presidential term.

A spokesperson for Willis and an attorney for Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

And what do all the voters in those swing states have in common? Anger over inflation. Nationally, inflation was by far the #1 most important issue Americans were concerned about.

Inflation and the invasion of illegals were the top two - and they’re related. Lower-income citizens were fed up with struggling to pay the rent and put groceries on the table while they watched the Dems put up lowlife illegals in four-star hotels and give three meals a day, and full maid service.

Then of course the country was fed up with all the “woke” nonsense, the weaponization of the government, the silencing of Republican opinions, and the continued decline in the public school system. Plus, the hysterical screams of “Hitler!” and “Nazi rally!” certainly didn’t help.

 

[Hollie]

Exactly what I'd expect a sycophant to say.

oh,dear. Someone is suffering from hurt feelings.

 

[hadit]

The American people rejected inflation. trump's positions on mainstream issues remain unpopular with a majority of Americans.

They obviously even more strenuously rejected Harris' prescription for moving forward. She was going to fix everything but couldn't think of anything she would change that QPJ was already doing.
