Former JAG. I do not suffer fools lightly. It’s a feature, not a bug. I can tell you the truth, but I can’t make you understand it.

My life:

“I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.”

Congress said “reasonable distance.” The agency said 100 miles by regulation and the Supreme Court under the old “defer to the agency” rule agreed. That’s why I think it’s ripe for challenge. Chevron deference is dead. What was a reasonable distance in 1789 for border searches?

Remember when the initial news report said judge denies bid to stop deployment of National Guard? And then it was pointed out that she just said I’m gonna give the government a couple of days to respond to this.
Maybe the NYT should be a little more nuanced. And accurate.

“ in 1789 courts were free to disregard testimony from the blacks therefore”

Yes. It is now a finding of fact which can’t be overturned unless it is “clearly erroneous.”

My first thought was that grand juries are yet another thing we will have to reform. However, unless you start with the Supreme Court, nothing else matters.
