At common law, assault is basically offensive touching. I don't know about the legal basis for these charges but the optics are comical. Prosecutorialy questionable. Typical Buffoon.

The Buffoon "claims," the administrations "says," I never believe a d**n word without independent verification, ever. If you believe you are a f*****g idiot.

Period. End of sentence.

As a poly sci major that's a shame.

Ha, I hit the reverse 69. Tribute to Lee.

Can one of you religious freaks explain to the group why you want to wax poetically about your religious freakism?

Don't get me wrong. I was baptized in the Methodist church at age twelve. That was pretty much my end to religious freakism, also something I pretty much keep to myself. If only the other freaks would do the same.

That's not eminent domain, that's a straight high jacking of personal property.

An owners right to lease real estate is an interest in real property subject to condemnation like any other real property interest. Condemnation requires a court proceeding and payment of "just compensation." Thus a public record. One would think WPR would know that. Which makes the story sketchy to me.

... the "VP loophole", of which there is no such thing.

Actually that would be special defense counsel. I'm not sure the law even allows that. No one ever ...

This is one of the more bizarre Buffoon stunts. In normal times there is no way anyone in the Buffoon's DOJ could or would handle this case, a special prosecutor would be required. My hopes for normality are dim.

Without more than a CHP report, I'm skeptical. I spent two and a half years on an M-109A1. I worked every crew position from grunt to chief.

155 rounds do not spontaneously explode. They require a trigger, specifically, a fuse. When I discharged in '77 there were three types of fuses, PD, proximity and timed, there are probably others now. Point detonating, the most commonly used, is self explanatory, it triggers the round when the point hits whatever. Proximity, rarely used because expensive, works on an echo principle and triggers at a certain distance above ground, 20 feet IIRC, used for maximum shrapnel spread. Timed, also self explanatory, triggers x amount of time after discharge, we only ever used those for flare rounds at night. I liked being the flare gun because you got to fire about every three minutes as opposed to the typical fire mission that took about twenty minutes or more from announced ready to fire.

Simple. It avoids the court proceedings that would require actual evidence rather than Buffoon b******t.

Arguing that an injunction should only apply to parties before the court is standard fare in litigation. So sayeth the SC, recently. Thus the class actions challenging the Buffoon's b******t. Needing to identify the persons the injunction will apply to is a reasonable and necessary request.

Subservient to another "equal" branch of government?

Too early to tell. So far the rulings have been about remedies, e.g. injunctions. I'll wait for the merits rulings.

... not mean[sic] for circulation ...

Irrelevant under the statute linked at 8. The question under that statute is whether the coin is "currency" i.e. can you take it to a bank and exchange it for dollar bill.

Follow the links, I think it's male bovine fecal matter.
