Potential Disaster Averted As Bid To Undermine Judicial Branch Fails

I heard on NPR this morning that Dugan’s lawyer asked the judge to overrule the jury’s verdict on the obstruction charge and that he has agreed to consider doing so. This case may not need to be appealed.

Long Walk kind of scenario would be more interesting unless the Patriot Games are a battle to the death scenario.

May the odds be ever in their favor!

It’ll be interesting when Trump orders the White House covered in Italian marble and gold leaf.

Well… the cuteness is just off the meter ! I think the nightmare time in the tied sack, and the death of the other kitten with them, has really affected them. They tend to curl up together in a little ball to sleep but are being more playful and inquisitive daily. Zorro is still very tiny but will be fine in the long run…

Every day, there’s another attempt at an unprecedented power grab. These are terrifying people, hell bent on complete and total submission to this demented Trumpism ideology.

It’s exhausting by design.

A Trojan horse Freedom of Information Act case in which Stephen Miller’s old group was trying to get a court to declare that the administrative functions of the judicial branch are part of the executive branch has been dismissed by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden of D.C., a Trump appointee.

Federal judges were even expressing concern that their security protection by U.S. marshals — an executive branch agency — might be revoked or made contingent.

They should be even more concerned, now that the case has been dismissed.

In 2026 campaigning for a Dem candidate will be labeled terroristic activity.

Not snark. They’ll figure out a rationale for labeling it as such.
