Outrageous
Thank you for that contribution!
Outrageous!!
Grand juries made up of ordinary Americans refusing to indict the innocent. The lawyers and judges quietly fighting this regime with everything they’ve got. Our courage and our resistance is contagious.
Dr Jenna Norton is describing at the People's SOTU the problems at NIH about serious problems with scientific research at NIH. Fewer grants, cancellations of existing research that wastes research dollars already expended. Devastating! The USA is squandering its scientific leadership.
Thanks, grand jurors!!
I wrote on the shameful situation re: the recession of a deanship to Emily Suski at the University of Arkansas Law. What was the reason? Prof. Suski signed an amicus brief supporting trans rights. The Arkansas legislators admitted that was it! Horrible outcome. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...
That makes sense to me. Juries generally follow the evidence; true jury nullification (where a jury acquits even though the law and the evidence clearly support a conviction) is rare.
We've been getting a lot of submissions by folks excited by juries resisting the federal government, and monitor much bemoaning by MAGA folks that this constitutes jury nullification, but the vast majority of such cases are being thrown out by juries over weak evidence or lies.
Whit House, really? What happened to sportsmanship?
Disastrous.
When a democracy is restored after an interlude of criminal looting like this, it is perfectly justified in seizing back the proceeds and prosecuting the looters, regardless of what they have done to make it “legal” on paper.
Wow.
It should be an amazing experience! Thanks for your willingness to serve.
Thank you; I had no idea about this sculpture!
BREAKING: DHS has run out of funding and is shut down.
GOP lawmakers refused to negotiate reforms to stop ICE from killing people in broad daylight, locking up kids, & making our communities less safe.
Lawmakers should not fund the agency until ICE is reined in.
Great story! Happy Valentine's Day to the journalists at MPR.
Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.
Wealth inequality has set the stage for our current political condition. The billionaires stay in power by dividing the groups who might otherwise unite and oust them from power. The race baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, and faux religious pandering is all part of the strategy. We shall overcome.
It's one thing to get a "no true bill."
It's quite another to get *shut out* in the grand jury.
Good background on the climate science chapter that was removed from the federal Judicial Center manual of scientific evidence for judges:

For years I've argued that the "ham sandwich" critique is wrong and that the discipline of having to go through the grand jury to obtain an indictment still acts as an important check on prosecutorial power. Grand juries under the Trump regime continue to prove it.

Jeanine Pirro tried to jail six Democratic Congress members for accurately stating the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
She will forever be a person who has done that and must always be viewed through that prism.
Long live the grand jury.
Today, it was a grand jury of anonymous American citizens who upheld the rule of law and determined this case should not proceed. Hopefully, this ends this politicized investigation for good.
Apparently you are allowed to remind troops to follow lawful orders: www.ms.now/news/grand-j...
Thank you members of the grand jury!!

It was a new chapter, designed to help judges with the background science that is helpful in understanding climate litigation. That's what's so unfortunate about the removal.
The Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence has long been an excellent, balanced resource for judges. So now: Let's keep information about science from judges? What an outrageous and counterproductive idea!
