For this, I think there is an argument that getting a longer term at the circuit is valuable as the skill set at the circuit is different than the district level, but maybe the ideal is like a 12 year circuit term.

That's where I think I'm ending up as well. Life for Dist Ct (with maybe a mandatory senior status age). I'm for fixed terms of 1 year for SCOTUS, as I think it should be pulled from circuits. I tend to be opposed to life for circuits, but at the same time, with short SCOTUS terms I'm less concerned

I'm on record as being opposed to life tenure, but I have to admit it does seem to be helping in this instance.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

These people know how to draw a slice of pizza to make it look good. Artists have been doing it in cartoons for years.

How did they fail this horribly!

As a Catholic, if I'm understanding you correct (and I could be misunderstanding here), I think you are wrong here. The little c specifically means universal church, which is also how it was taught as part of my Catholic school education.

Agree that trad caths don't view it that way though.

Since Trump has declared a seemingly never ending national emergency to issue tariffs...uh actually this might be illegal profiteering from a disaster under certain state laws.

FWIW, this is my favorite of your posts in a while. I'm biased because it directly relates to my work.

Some part of my brain cannot reconcile Bush era Republicans and Modern Republicans. In the Bush era, the idea of allowing a foreign military facility on US soil would have gotten you beat up. Just incomprehensible to me.
