Gillium blamed his addiction strictly on losing an election. That is a horrible downplaying of how addiction affects people by that politician

His actions are his own. While it seems like a gross oversimplification and rationalization, I'm still not going to take his inventory for him.

And they are objectively better in every category than their rivals, which means we are really fucked, because that laughing stock is our A Team lol.

Yeah, the FBI could never "frame" anyone. They don't have the ability to do that. :/
Maybe Flynn told the truth about the phone call, and the FBI manufactured then produced evidence that Flynn lied... well then Flynn would HAVE to admit to it or perjure himself.


It could be lawyer BS. Everyone knows lawyers are just crooks with degrees in arguing. But thinking back on all the other BS the Dems have tried, and all the crap that Comey/McCabe pulled...
...I wouldn't put any money on your theory if I were you. ^^


Bless your heart.

A few major decisions out of SCOTUS today, all seem to be in favor of the left in left vs right
6-3 the SCOTUS decided to reject the New York gun rights case, agreeing that the state made it moot when they rescinded their restrictions as soon as it would go to the unfavorable SCOTUS. This sidestepped it instead of setting a precedent that would knock down other state's gun laws, but other cases on those laws are still pending. This means states will be more empowered to play whack-a-mole with gun restrictions, putting them in place and then voluntarily rescinding them after it travels up to higher courts on appeals.
8-1 the SCOTUS settled the ACA case in favor of the Obama argument and against the Republicans/Trump, saying that the ACA's "shall" language in the risk corridors created a binding legal liability that insurers could sue for if failed to deliver, even if it didn't create an implicit appropriation. Thus allowing the Federal Claims compensation for insurers to circumvent express appropriations from congress. Only Alito dissented and agreed that this usurps the power of the purse by statutory redefinition. As Alito points out, this is a pretty big precedent;

Not only will today’s decision have a massive immediate
impact, its potential consequences go much further. The
Court characterizes provisions like §1342 as “rare,” ante, at
26, but the phrase the “Secretary shall pay”––the language
that the Court construes as creating a cause of action––appears in many other federal statutes.


also George v Public Resource but nobody cares about that decision. I'd need someone to explain to me why anyone should care whether annotations in the official georgia statutes are covered by copyright or not
but the gun rights and ACA cases are big news

It was a pretty blatant example of bad faith lawmaking and gaming the system through jurisdiction shopping dialed up to 11.
They passed the laws to just push the envelope of infringing on the second amendment anticipating it would go to a supreme court with Hillary Clinton appointees. Then Trump got elected and the law was doomed, so as soon as it passed the appeals courts they rescinded just the portions that were at issue so the court case could be mooted. Otherwise the court knocking it down wouldn't just axe their code, but all similar state codes. Now they'll be free to do the same thing over and over again. At some point, the very issue of jurisdiction shopping and dodging court decisions itself has to be brought to court.
