On a Read Meat for Yellow Dogs thread with a 131 comments on a controversial subject rationality is a rare commodity. So, I'll try an interjection.

By any reasonable standard, to put it simply, the Democratic tactics would have to be judged a total failure: They got nothing in exchange for the pain they inflicted. They went to war, with federal workers and recipients of government services bearing the risk of the battle, unprepared to do what it would take to win. They lacked the moral seriousness not to play at all if they weren't going to have the fortitude to see the matter through.

The optics of this are horrendous, however, "irreparable harm" is a legally essential element of obtaining any form of injunction.

Rather than reviewing almost 250 years of US history how about we view your account of the Buffoon's 5 or so years.

You should start with credible citations to the Buffoon's contributions to "world peace." Remember, if the source is the Buffoon it's not credible.

Maybe I am missing something about the Constitution ... but my understanding is the House of Representatives is where the origination of the peoples money is appropriated ...

Reading the article is fundamental. The court ordered payment from a SNAP "contingency fund" and "additional dollars held by USDA." Those funds were appropriated by Congress but the Buffoon arbitrarily, thus illegally, refused to distribute them.

... who elected this Judge to be the countries mother?

Those with an understanding of the Constitution know that federal judges and Justices are appointed in accord with Article III which, with Title 28 of the USC, gives them the powers to decide the questions decided here. That you may disagree is wholly irrelevant.

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.
