When Bannon’s line about flooding the zone with bullshit was first made, it was stating what had already been going on for awhile—arguably since the 90s and the rise of Limbaugh and the other sociopathic scumbags. The moral of that era and since is that pandering to the RWNJs is good for getting power.
And to state what else should be obvious, it wouldn’t be possible without the endless support of the establishment news media (which of course TPM isn’t).
And, when they cannot obtain convictions of their enemies, will they simply disappear them? Or, will the non-convicted fall out of windows? Their drive and their hate are unbounded.
Can you explain the significance of this for the non-lawyers? “The Supreme Court asked for additional briefing in the case challenging President Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. The high court appears to have zeroed in on an elegant possible way out of the case identified by Georgetown law professor Marty Lederman“
Regarding the revised Taylor Taranto sentencing memo, they also removed the section linking the doxxing of President Obama to Fearless Leader. Said doxxing is now a crime per the Department of Injustice, and Fearless Leader was a private jack-hole when he published the address.
The amicus brief submitted by Marty Lederman on § 12406 interpretation has gotten a bit of attention from Court watchers, and as indicated by David, this could provide an off-ramp for SCOTUS by deciding the NG mobilization/deployment case(s) strictly on procedural grounds, rather than the more murky presidential authority issues, which surely are of huge constitutional import.
tRump claims to possess the sole "determinant" discretion to adjudge "rebellion" or "invasion by foreign forces", without ANY judicial oversight, and that again points to an untrammeled "unitary executive" posture, the limits of which have yet not been demarcated. Doubt if the Court is ready and willing to go down that road just yet, and an affirmative decision for the plaintiffs based upon the Lederman argument is a safe bet.
great news about the TN guy jailed for posting on FB about Kirk. I posted the Intercept story everywhere I could. So did a lot of people The outrage worked, guys!!
Why on earth was The Economist interviewing Steve f…ing Bannon anyway?

Go to LawDork on Substack. Chris Griedner has the breakdown on this. SCOTUS is questioning type of force.

David, you left out the
most important part of
SCOTUS turning aside
DoJ/Trump: additional
briefing. They want to
know exactly what "type
of force" the
government intends to
unleash on the citizens.

Smith owed us so much more than just shrugging his shoulders and walking away. Also WTAF 7th circuit? You suck.
What could Smith have
done though? He was
special counsel,
RunFast. He had no
cover from Garland or
Biden. Trump ran out the
clock with the help from
his judge Aileen in FL,
Blanch and his army of
attorneys. This is why,
when we take back our
government, things have
to change, top to
bottom.
He should've gone public hard. Same as Mueller. Instead they both just disappeared.

I wouldn’t get too excited. Everyone, even MAGAT’s, know they are lying sacks of shit.
