It’s almost like we had one chance in 2008 to roll back a lot of the obscene powers we granted while scared in the early aughts.

We punted.

not to put too fine a point on it but it really wasn’t Mexico’s to claim either...

Not half as obscure as the law covering the President’s skincare regime; the Emollients Clauses.

I love how the anti-immigrant crowd just ignores the fact that nearl of this country was stolen/conquered from Mexico in the first place. The migrants have more right to be here than Euro-USAns do.

FUCK CHRISTMAS IN JULY

The Emoluments Clauses are not obscure.

Unfortunately, it won’t. At least not in the immediate future. The wheels of justice turn very slowly. There will be delay upon delay, court hearing after court hearing and extension upon extension, written discovery disputes, dispositive motions, motions to compel, etc. Nothing will happen quickly unless the case is…

The folders that where so half-assed that when SNL did their parody they couldn’t even go through with making it look that bad because the prop department actually takes it’s job seriously? I remember that. 

Didn’t Cohen release this tape?  Or was Trump’s team the source for the original article that described the tapes?  And do we know that these tapes aren’t covered by the privilege (if Trump hasn't waived it)?

It will amuse me to no end if some shit like this gets him impeached even before Muller is done.

Yeah, that was some real white lady woo right there.

Yes, thanks. I actually am a lawyer myself and understand that. I was just not clear on why these tapes were not covered by the privilege in this situation. Per the CNN story that I later read and posted above it seems that in the investigation into Cohen a special master was appointed to review which…

Attorney-client privilege is basically a rule of evidence/rule of discovery. In litigation you don’t have to turn over to the other side documents reflecting attorney advice, and any document reflecting such advice is inadmissible at trial (unless the privilege has been waived, which only the client can do).  So these…

His mom has consistently and vehemently blamed the victim. She can rot along with her rapist son.

“What kind of lawyer would tape a client?” The kind of lawyer who KNEW that said client was a fucking liar and would hang said lawyer out to dry to save his ass from all the shady dealings of said client!

DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER.

My guess is he wants off the registry so he can change his name and live in anonymity.

What if (hypothetically) I just dragged him behind a dumpster and (hypothetically) beat the shit out of him?

Came here to say this. I flew round trip from Denver to Dallas for less than $100 last year (on spirit). It cost nearly as much as my flight just to park my car at the airport than it did to catch a seat on a goddamn jet airplane.
