Look forward to what Admiral Kirk is able to put together for that match.
"You had an orbiting starship beam Dort from the sim in San Francisco to a South Atlantic iceberg?"
"there's nothing in writing saying you *cant* do that"

While they are failing to meet the ham sandwich test time after time, every now and then you'll draw an unlucky jury or a credulous / malicious judge (like the Fulton Co search warrant). This just can't go on and the next D needs to go after Trump DOJ appointees committing these abuses.

I suppose I would be a good test subject for whether space travel really is fine for everyone now: late 50s, don't exercise nearly enough, sinus trouble, acid reflux. Seriously I do not want to subject a Starship full of rando travelling public to zero-g nope ☂️

A simple proposal for federal judges frustrated that Trump Regime isn’t freeing people in response to habeas corpus orders:
Order that DHS bring each individual to court for their habeas hearing. If the judge grants habeas, the petitioner walks out free.
Bonus: huge pre-hearing burden on feds.
