  1. Rudy had that press conference between the sex shop and the crematorium because he doesn't know if he's coming or going.

  3. If it's any comfort, I think this one is make-or-break. If trump is rejected, a second time, the Republicans may reject trumpism. Parties want to win elections.

  5. Mark my words. To allow trump on the ballot is to invite events that will make J6 look like a Sunday school picnic.

  6. There's a law against crossing state lines to incite a riot. I recall it being used famously against the "Chicago 8".

  7.  @phantom3969  Citing a fiction character is simple attribution, but in the final analysis the words of any person, real or fictional, have to stand or fall on what they actually say.

  10. One of my favorite toys when I was a kid was the Whammo Air Blaster, a "gun" which would fire a ball of compressed air. This effect was achieved by cocking a lever which would retract a rubber diaphragm, which was released when you pulled the trigger. Of course, kids put pencils in them. (Ad for Air Blaster is on YouTube.)

  11. Fundamentally speaking, McConnell changed the size of the court from nine members to eight for almost a year. They did not exercise their Constitutional duty to advise and consent, they abdicated it.

  12. The thing with Santos is that we only know about all this because he won. If he had lost he would have gotten away with it all.

  21. There are legitimate reasons for not counting absentee ballots prior to the actual election day. For instance, preliminary results might leak to one or the other campaign giving them information as to where their turn-out is soft and they need to buttress their efforts.

  22. Casting the co-conspirators as "The Sinister Six" is a stroke of genius.

  25. trump's attempts to distance himself from this have all the credibility of his SCOTUS nominees saying that Roe v. Wade was settled law.

  31. I would actually trust Kid Rock with classified material more so than trump.

  32. Everybody is focusing on the term "insurrection" and ignoring the phrase "or rebellion against the same", the words "the same" being a clear reference to the Constitution. Since the term of the President is defined in the Constitution as ending on a specific date and time, it is arguable that his attempt to, shall we say, overstay his welcome constituted a rebellion against the Constitution. Furthermore, looking at the "aid and comfort" phrase and trump's actions (and non-actions on the 6th) it is arguable that he meets that definition as well with the dangling of pardons and saying "We love you. You're very special."

  34. When a lawyer makes a bad argument, he's either a bad lawyer or a good lawyer who knows that he doesn't have any good arguments.

  35. The fact that these LGMs are following a "catch and release" protocol means that the arrests are bogus and they KNOW it. They don't care if those they pick up have committed vandalism or any other crime, it's an intimidation tactic and the sheer randomness of it is PART of the intimidation. And the intent, as you point out, is to undermine the exercise of a legitimate right. Do all these factors, when taken together, constitute conspiracy to deprive folks of civil rights?

  36. I always thought that the Court got it wrong on Westboro. Was it ever argued that a funeral is itself a religious service and that the Westboro folks, in disrupting it, were interfering with the first amendment rights of the funeral attendees?

  37. Santos may be a fraud and a liar, but at least he's honest about it.

  38. I know that you're trying to focus mainly on trump's words here but doesn't his providing a venue (no less official a venue than the friggin' White House, in fact) give him an added layer of culpability for the words of other speakers (including his own son) that none of his admittedly artful usage of "weasel words" can remove? And how about the possible application of the conspiracy law used against the "Chicago 8"?

  40. Any take on whether the estate of C. M. Kornbluth can sue over the similarities between "Idiocracy" and his "Marching Morons"?

  41. William Howard Taft (former president) became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

  42. To be absolutely fair, I think when trump talks about "we won every state" and "statehouses", he's talking about the party performance rather than his own.

  43. While not as frivolous as these the publishing company that owned the rights the songs of Creedence Clearwater Revival once sued John Fogarty, the groups founder, because his post-Creedence work sounded too much like their "property". In essence, he was being sued for plagiarizing himself.

  48. Legalisms aside a president derives his power not from the Constitution, or even the people, but from the simple fact that when he give orders, people follow them. If people in high positions continue to follow his orders after the legal expiration date of his elected term of office, then he is still president, in fact if not in law.
