The discharge petition is just discharging a resolution that amends the Epstein stuff as a rider onto a regular bill.

So even if everything passes the House, the Epstein provision still has to complete the rest of the Schoolhouse Rock process:

• Pass in the Senate
• Survive conference committee
• Re-pass both chambers
• Trump veto
• Veto override on 2/3 votes in both chambers

They pick out the small chickens to go to the rotisserie. The chickens for sale raw are substantially heavier on average.

This form of exercise is called aerobics. It is not yoga.

I want to point out a detail here:

The line “is referred to the Court” means that this case was yanked out of Justice Jackson’s hands by at least 5 other votes.

If Jackson had turned the case over voluntarily, it would say “and by her referred to the Court” instead.

Yeah. That’s only like 3 tractor trailers (assuming they’re not just running overweight too)

As many times as you want, at least until the auto-pen breaks.

Do these experts also have license plates that say “TRAVELER?”. Is admiralty court involved? Does it involve crossing out the “penalty of perjury” line on the 1040 form?

I’m pretty sure some of their flights out of DCA were moderately delayed. It was horrific!

We might never know. Subway has been accused of bread shenanigans in the past (in addition to short-selling their footlongs).

The FBI crime lab didn’t even do any forensic analysis on whether the sub measured up to the full 12 inches or not.

It was such a shoddy investigation.

There’s a federal rule that says that if you can prove that the prosecution is vindictive or selective, then the case is dismissed.

A prosecution is vindictive if it is only happening because of personal animus against the defendant. You have to prove that the animus caused the prosecution, in a legal “but for” sense.

A prosecution is selective if you’re getting singled out. That is, if other people in similar circumstances are not getting charged for the same behavior, but you are. For example, Attorney General James alleges that Ken Paxton is also a state Attorney General, and he also has multiple “second homes” with mortgages that he rents out and never visits, but somehow he has not been charged.

James is alleging both vindictive and selective prosecution, but she only has to prove either one or the other to get the case dismissed.

What the fuck is Justice Jackson doing ?

Here’s one analysis:

Jackson gets this application because it’s from the 1st circuit, and she is assigned to initially handle all shadow docket matters from the 1st circuit. By writing this admin stay, she potentially keeps the full court from stepping in and doing it for her. And this way she gets to set the 48 hour limit. This could cause the whole case to be decided one way or another a lot faster.

The supreme court let the trans passport case sit on the shadow “emergency” docket for 48 days. This stay gives the 1st circuit approx the weekend to make their decision, then the 48 hour deadline puts some oomph on the rest of scotus to make their decision.

If Justice Jackson did nothing, and 5 votes on the court intervened to issue a stay at 1 am, then there would be no 48 hour limit.

Federal employees will get back pay if that provision is in a bill that Congress will eventually pass. It’s not a guarantee, as you stated.

Monty Python is technically a proper name, but they went with the snake, because they wanted a last name that “sounded slippery.”

“Monty” may or may not be a reference to Field Marshal Montgomery, from world wars 1 and 2.

The programming language is named after the comedy troupe, not the snake.

I would expect the price or relative value of gold to latinum to collapse once asteroid mining becomes viable.

It is likely that any tests will be conducted in enclosed underground silos in Nevada. The site to do that has been maintained at some amount of readiness since the last test in 1992.

Nixon was at 31% when he resigned. Dubya also hit the low thirties, but he didn’t resign.

He is described as holding “tactical command” of the Chicago Midway Blitz operation.

Better pack a toothbrush.
