It makes more sense if you see his argumentation as an audition for a judicial appointment.

I’d guess I’m more conservative than the median Blueskyer. Facebook seems to have picked up on that and now my feed there includes a smattering of racists and antisemites. It’s telling and sad that their algorithm codes conservative as racist.

I got a lot out of Scouting, and both my son and daughter are Eagle Scouts. I’m a current volunteer. Today I’m really disappointed in Scouting America.

In fairness, they never would have reoffended absent the pressure of being politically persecuted. They should probably get more pardons. /sarcasm

You have to find a suitable granite stone on the mountain and use that for the curling

Correct. I was there β€˜04-07 in the Milwaukee office.

Lots of people who get to those positions seem to be. I lucked out with my BigLaw experience and had a great mentor. I only worked with a couple of difficult partners.

I doubt ICE would turn them over or even ID them. MN should get John Doe indictments to toll any statutes of limitations and get IDs from a future admin.

With Unitary Executive Theory, I’d argue the Executive cannot sue itself. Any suit would have to wait for Trump to leave office.

That’s a long time in my limited FedCir appeals experience. I haven’t litigated in years, though.
