I think we can all agree that the people who put trump in the white house actually have the real power to govern, that 4rth branch so to speak, that lives in the shadows.

Actually my reading of the 3rd, 12th and 18th Amendments is that Trump is President for Life. :trumps

I've always said that presidents are presidents for life, unless exo communicated and people laugh at me.

that's the only reason the SS kept trump off the steering wheel, because they were actually answering to Obama.

We keep going in circles. The Republican party is in the final stages of dismantling democracy, a process that arguably started with Scalia's deliberate injustice in 2000 (Bush v. Gore).

And the best news of the day: Supreme Court limits EPA’s power to combat climate change

Because who needs clean air. It's totally overrated, just ask the good people living in New Delhi.

This could be you, soon.

And climate change will surely go away if only we ignore it hard enough!

Come on, you got to admit, bad air makes artsy photos.

You know what's funny? The constitution doesn't actually grant the Supreme Court the power of judicial review. The court gave that power to itself in 1803.

That is a commonly repeated myth, but courts were understood to have the power of judicial review before the Constitution. The delegates at the Constitutional Convention were clear on this, as is Federalist 78. Marbury was not the first time the Court had judged the constitutionality of a law either.

You don't even have to learn the history to see this theory doesn't make any sense, who would enforce Article VI, Section II if not the Court?

So it was indeed not codified?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison
That article says the Supreme Court gave itself the power of judicial review (because the Constitution doesn't https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Three_of_the_United_States_Constitution ) and determined that the Constitution was the law of the land, while making itself the highest authority on interpreting the Constitution. Which totally seems like a power the judicial branch should be allowed to bestow upon itself (I am kidding).

And of course the system of lawmakers electing the SC judges FOR LIFE (and requiring a 2/3 majority to impeach a judge) was created before political parties ever existed. Meaning, the system was never intended for use by partisan politicians.
Add to this the power of the court to overturn previous decisions by simple majority (=there is no such thing as precedent), consisting of only nine judges, without term limits and accountability.
The only surprising thing is that it took 200 years for these incredible flaws and the virtual omnipotence of the Supreme Court to become so obvious.

That line is obviously wrong, as I said. The Constitution, as the framers said and everyone (read the Anti-Federalists for example) acknowledged, grants the power of judicial review, if you don't want to listen to them you can read Article III ("the judicial power") and Article VI and it's pretty obvious. If the Court gave itself the power of judicial review in Marbury then how were they judging the constitutionality of laws in prior cases? How were state courts judging the constitutionality of laws basically forever despite the same grant of "the judicial power"? You're taking a position that's previously only been the domain of conservatives wanting to stop the courts from protecting gay rights, abortion rights, free speech and freedom from religion.

I find it strange that you're losing your mind and coming out against the rule of law so vehemently over something where the Court did the very thing you're now complaining about as beyond the pale and a threat to democracy. What do you think Roe was? The Court used judicial review to strike down (most) abortion bans as unconstitutional which imposed a minority view on the entire country.

Regarding some of your other claims I already outlined in the post Potato asked for how the Court has always been partisan and people have complained about it from the start including during the era of the framers when they actually tried to impeach a Justice over his views and eliminated one of the seats so that an opposition President could not fill it. So you can snark about it all you want but it doesn't make sense and sounds like you're arguing from ignorance to anyone who is cognizant of history.

Global banks contending with inflation, and corporate and retail borrowers the world over juggle higher loan costs rippling throughout the world...why, they should have just blamed it all on Biden who is purposely doing it to get cheaper loan payoffs!   Record losses for France's Societe Generale, Austria's Raiffeisen, Credit Agricole and Italy's UniCredit who have scrapped plans to buy back cheaply-valued stock in view of their capital slippage all should look to the one limiting factor:  Joe Biden. Tucker is a genius.  Reminder:  This distinguished mentally-challenged fellow makes around $100,000 per day to spout absolute garbage to people who don't know any better.

Nintex finally defeated:
Put a Fork in Donald Trump—the Ex-President Is Done

David Rothkopf
Published Jul. 01, 2022 4:37AM ET

Mark it on your calendars. This was the week the meteoric political career of Donald Trump did what meteors often do and collided with planet Earth, leaving a large, ugly mark on the landscape.

The fact that Trump may soon announce his candidacy for the presidency in the days ahead is itself more of a sign of his political collapse than it is of any strength he may have.

...

Her testimony hit Washington and the U.S. political scene, also as large meteors can do, with the force of several atomic bombs. Even dyed-in-the-wool members of Team Trump began to abandon ship. They called it “damning,” “difficult to dismiss,” and “insane shit.” The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed saying Trump should not run in 2024. The right-leaning Washington Examiner ran an editorial headlined “Trump proven unfit for power again.” Trump’s former attorney Ty Cobb said, “If this isn’t an insurrection I don’t know what is.” Former Trump Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney wrote, “Things could get very dark for the former president” after Hutchinson’s testimony.

Speaking at one of the sacred sites of the Republican right, the Ronald Reagan Library in California, Jan. 6 committee vice chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) got enthusiastic support from the crowd during a searing speech following this week’s hearing when she said, “It’s undeniable—the Republican Party cannot be both loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution.”

...

 it is fair to conclude that as bad as this week was for Trump, when the dust settles, he and we will find matters have only gotten worse for him, that, as of this week, he has once and for all plummeted to Earth and that finally and forever more, all the former president’s Fox friends and all of his men will not be able to put the brief shimmering political career of Donald Trump back together again.

$110.000.000 - $96.405 = $109.903.595

The President's men seem to want to prevent DeSantis from mounting a challenge against Trump after Joe Rogan said he would make a great President.
Not to mention Liz Cheney stealing the spotlight during the January 6th hearings and being presented as some sort of 'savior' of the Republican party.

Anyway I don't think Trump is going to announce that he's running on July 4th.
He's probably going to announce that he's going to announce that he's going to run.

Joshua Henry, a special agent for DHS, confirmed the letter’s authenticity and said it was delivered at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday. Robert Sperling, director of communication for the Federal Protective Service, also confirmed to The Dallas Morning News that the letter posted on Twitter was delivered.

...

Henry said Walker sharing the letter on Twitter could bring more trouble.

“She’s kind of taking it as a joke,” Henry said. “She’s not remorseful about these statements, so that’ll be presented to a United States Attorney and they’ll make a decision on that.”


When a reporter asked the Garland Police Department if their officers accompanied a federal agent to Walker’s house to deliver the letter, spokesman Pedro Barineau wrote in an email “since DHS confirmed they went out there, they will have all the details and will need to provide the information. We can’t speak about another agencies [sic] investigation.”

On Friday night, the Federal Protective Service sent an email with an official statement to The News.

“DHS’s Federal Protective Service coordinates with law enforcement partners across the country to protect federal facilities, and those who work in and visit those buildings, from violence,” the statement read.

“FPS may issue warnings as a result of threats made to federal facilities and federal employees, in line with standard law enforcement practices. Americans’ freedom of speech and right to peacefully protest are fundamental Constitutional rights. Those rights do not extend to violence and other illegal activity.”
:american :american :american :american

The cited, uh, "statue" is an interesting choice too:
1)Whoever—
(A)assaults, kidnaps, or murders, or attempts or conspires to kidnap or murder, or threatens to assault, kidnap or murder a member of the immediate family of a United States official, a United States judge, a Federal law enforcement officer, or an official whose killing would be a crime under section 1114 of this title; or

(B)threatens to assault, kidnap, or murder, a United States official, a United States judge, a Federal law enforcement officer, or an official whose killing would be a crime under such section,
with intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with such official, judge, or law enforcement officer while engaged in the performance of official duties, or with intent to retaliate against such official, judge, or law enforcement officer on account of the performance of official duties, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b).

(2)Whoever assaults, kidnaps, or murders, or attempts or conspires to kidnap or murder, or threatens to assault, kidnap, or murder, any person who formerly served as a person designated in paragraph (1), or a member of the immediate family of any person who formerly served as a person designated in paragraph (1), with intent to retaliate against such person on account of the performance of official duties during the term of service of such person, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b).

She deleted the tweets so Agent Henry's apparent goal of abusing the law to moderate Twitter by illegally threatening people was accomplished.

So money is being spent on protecting the police officers, who were reluctant to actually engage in a manner which required protection?

To be fair, I think C-SPAN's site is more focused on the events they cover rather than the news in general. Unless somebody is giving a speech about shootings or there's a hearing or something like that it's more likely it will just be the events they record.

A White House press aide assigned to the issue was walking to get coffee when the alert hit.

press aides are meant to be sitting stock still, watching and waiting to be ready to act at any moment, and should not be getting coffee? also which aide? why does this matter?

Why are our tax dollars being used to purchase over-priced cafe coffee?

Get a fucking Mr Coffee from Walmart.

Inside the White House, criticism and proposals from fellow Democrats are often seen as the latest version of, essentially, presidential fan fiction -- the kind of visceral, political statement that sounds great from the sidelines but doesn't actually make sense.

For example, in the wake of the Supreme Court's abortion reversal, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have called for the White House to open up federal lands to abortion clinics, a move that lawyers inside and some outside the government believe would backfire by leaving abortion providers and women open to potential prosecution as soon as they stepped off the federal lands.

Imagine if they just followed the other fan fiction of putting tings to votes.

I think they might mean the person was out of the room doing that not miles away at a cafe?

There's at least one coffee machine in the White House right off the Briefing Room, you can see it in a bunch of Jen Psaki getting hyped backstage images.

Though that fat cat Biden probably got rid of both the Diet Coke button and the machine to supply the True President with Diet Coke at any moment.
