From the POV of a worker's comp litigator, I'm waiting for a utilization reviewer to outsource certification entirely to an LLM. Their process already is "Get recommended treatment, look up treatment in so-called 'Official' Disability Guidelines (which openly says injured workers shouldn't get 1/

I think Vought is the one Trump II official who might be convicted following impeachment, because he's just so *bad* at the politics because of what he's trying to do.

The other thing is that for previous pardons, iirc there's no dispute about provenance. A Post-BBD Pardon revealed absolutely has that problem, and will likely not be considered valid.
