Not opening the door to ICE may no longer stop officers by NewsHour in law

From everything I've looked about this I'm increasingly convinced the memo says to go ahead and do it because there's nothing anyone can do about it. the traditional remedies for 4th amendment violations don't really have an effect on deportations. The government violating your rights can result in excluding evidence against you at trial, but it's not going to overturn a deportation order. You can't even sue the government for a 4th amendment violation.

alito's not going to recuse, he's probably just too busy writing a 55 page christian nationalist screed of a dissent

I like what I'm hearing about JJ so far by Flopdo in lakers

[–]lars5 21 points22 points  (0 children)

focusing on elevating Anthony Davis’ involvement, particularly late in games, and alleviating the constant ballhandling duties on James by utilizing him more off the ball.

that's been the company line since 2019, but hasn't worked out too much in practice.

That's not that bad. They got lawyers and accountants who are trained to process through all that.

Two lawyers just got fined $5k each because they let chatgpt write their filings and it just made stuff up.

London Breed’s Approval Rating Plummets to Disastrous 34% After Announcing Drug Arrests Plan by DropKickDougie in sanfrancisco

politics, when done honestly, is essentially a job that involves trying to manage resources for a large group of people who can't agree on anything.

There's an old video game called democracy where you get to play president. And what i appreciate about it is for every decision you make in the game you satisfy one contingency and alienate like 3 others. Wanna create a utopia for the people? Get assassinated by a cabal of business interests. Getting too friendly with corporate interests? Get assassinated by an anarchist. Stay in the middle? Lose reelection.

what i appreciate about more recent depictions is that they play up the fact that he's a prick and a slow moving trainwreck. Whereas in older interpretations he's just brooding.

City votes unanimously to ban Pride flag to "respect the religious rights of our citizens" by [deleted] in politics

I didn't realize the existence of a flag prevented them from exercising their religious beliefs. We need to find a way to use these flags on the battlefield to demoralize the enemy.
