Orwellian at the very least, but with much less intelligence. These are thugs, gangsters, and grifters. They are criminals, and we are the victims.

All of this political/historical info is interesting, but what I would love to hear is

HOW DO WE GET RID OF TRUMP?

Thanks Adam and Harry for your reporting/analysis here but I NEED HELP understanding how and who on the SCOTUS “vacates” a lower court ruling like this one. Are they just handed down uncredited, unsigned, “anonymously” and without written opinion(s) or clarification? Thanks! … As for the DOJ not doing the job it’s supposed to do … Whither Audi alteram partem: "Hear the other side." (?)

I tried to unpack some of the context of the decision in a just-published article. Long story short: I said that the SCOTUS ordered "cleared" the case for dismissal because it didn't do it on its own. The D.C. Circuit is getting the case back.

Adam, Thank you, sir. Re. “The D.C. Circuit is getting the case back.” What can we say but,

“Hope springs infernal.” …

Of course it has because The Federlist Society judges toe the line.

I went to tour the Capitol Building in 2014. I forgot I had my Swiss Army knife in my purse zip pocket. The entry security persons made me THROW IT AWAY before I would be allowed to tour the Capitol. A Swiss Army knife was not allowed into the Capitol. So - those J6 bastards, who in bloody hell do they think they are that all their attacking was just OK and police trying to keep them out is an infringement on their rights?

I replaced my Swiss Army knife because it is a TOOL, not a WEAPON. Those J6 bastards used weapons against the police, but not a one used a Swiss Army knife. Shame on them for this second assault on We, the People.

Bannon and Miller should be behind bars in Alligator Alcatraz

don't the victims have standing to enter the case and object? Isn't this what happened in the Epstein case? A sweetheart deal made by Bondi as the DA in Florida? That should be cause for the judge to appoint an outside prosecutor - they're playing catch and kill on convictions, it's a raw abuse of power

We the People must keep on top of this project, we must stop it and restore rule of law. Thank you both.

Will we ever recover the factual history of Jan 6 and erase the Trump version of history ?

You keep saying “jump the V”. What does that mean?

GingerLee's avatar

they are just proving how our legal system is full of holes as they laugh all the way to the bank... did we have to wait to to this point before we hit our heads and say "I should have seen that grift was coming and could happen"

GingerLee's avatar

Have the supremes "cleared the way" for extinction? they clearly do not respect their office or the constitution
