The Conventional Wisdom seems to be that, however pro-corporation and anti-woman Gorusch is, his jurisprudence has been critical of executive overreach.

My series of well-funded suburban public schools valued education to be point where the nerdy kids felt free to be nerdy, challenged and supported each other intellectually, and had fun learning. More so than actually educating me (my parents could have tutored me to college readiness even if I went to school in a…

The document in which a judge sets out his/her reasoning for a decision is called an “opinion.”

I did some more digging, and that’s from an executive order that Obama signed. It also has a subsection further down that says “Notwithstanding the provisions of this order, the President retains discretion, to the extent permitted by law, to depart from this order in designating an acting Attorney General.”

Someone please explain “why Dana Boente” to me. He’s an Obama appointee (as, I believe, are the 93 other US Attorneys, until Trump gets replacements for them). Is there a rule that says “acting AG goes to the US Attorney for the EDVA,” or was he the geographically closest US Attorney willing to enforce the immigration…

Call your congresspeople/senators to give me a congressperson/senators to complain at .

If you’re in the industry, you’ll probably be interested in about page 15 of the complaint (here) for the bit about diplomats flocking to Trump DC.

Based on the statements in the CREW complaint (they have two anonymous diplomats go “Yeah. I’m staying at Trump Tower because it’s Trump’s”), I think it would be much easier for a swanky hotel to bring suit than CREW.

You mean last year? Yes.

They’re trying really hard to get around the “isn’t this a self-inflicted injury” hurdle from Clapper, but I think Schlesinger is the bigger hurdle.

Lujan isn’t the problem, it’s Schlesinger’s “particularized injury” and the “if literally everyone is affected by this, it’s not a lawsuit thing, it’s a political issue.”

Katsucon ‘13, the antisemetic Katsucon! Are we sure it’s not Bannon in the White Devil?

He’s already changed it twice since it was mentioned in the liveblog — for a while it was a picture of an American flag; now it’s a blurry picture of him at a window.

I’m concerned about a right-wing misogynist nutjob with a gun at the main march than I am about cops.

I feel conflicted.

The jacket itself is fine. It’s the matchy-matchy accessories that make it a disaster. Make the gloves white, remove the hat, and it’s cute.

Private sector here. We have today off (and yesterday was “act like it’s a blizzard” because our office is in the green zone).

On a daily basis, 500,000 people come into DC from the suburbs for work and another 500,000 residents move around inside DC for work. Today, those million people are largely staying home because: (1) it’s a DC holiday so they don’t have to go to work, (2) they don’t want to deal with the clusterfuck of closed streets…

Does that actually matter if you aren’t a Nielsen household?

The weird thing is that /pol/ claims it made this up and circulated it in November 2016.
