Also, I always think it’s so weird when people act like this is proof that Pelosi was hellbent on accountability. It’s just proof she was Speaker during a Trump presidency. She never considered, for instance, seriously impeaching Bush. It’s literally just a measure of how bad Trump is
Again, Pelosi personally did half of all presidential impeachments in American history
Pelosi herself has been more responsibility for the growth of elite impunity culture than any other top Dem. She seems to regard the imposition of consequences on politicians as intolerably risky for the people doing the imposing, and consistently acted in ways to prevent it from happening.

Elder Dems have fundamentally misdiagnosed the problem. They’re like the leaders of a city during a bank-robbing spree, promising to pass more laws making bank robbery illegal.
It’s already illegal. The failure is along another dimension: you need to catch the robbers and put them in jail.

I’ve seen no serious engagement from senior Dems about what, exactly, they plan to do in terms of reasserting congressional power, as in identifying the available tools and thinking seriously about ways to use them to dig us out of the current state of total constitutional collapse.
Pelosi: "Right now, Republicans in Congress have abolished the Congress. They just do what the president insists that they do. That will be over as soon as we have the gavel."

They’ve shown minimal fight against Trump 2016-now, no fight against SCOTUS, no fight against Koch. It’s since the GW Bush days: see Al Gore rolling over as the Kavanaugh Activist Crew stole the 2000 election via legal action, PR, and SCOTUS.

What got us Trump was the GOP being a malevolent force for evil and the Democrats at every turn refusing to fire full blast at the right (including before Trump). It’s obviously not all on Harris but a cycle with Democrats assuming the left would just show up without any motivation is a big reason.
They have a point. “She didn’t earn my vote” got us Trump. Like I think it’s good to push against the party for better policy but when the alternative is Trump, it’s too much.

Perjury. Contempt of Congress. Lying to the public. It’s all there in the files.
Documents show that federal investigators knew of at least 10 co-conspirators.
Why were they never prosecuted? Why is the Admin shielding their names? Why did they lie to Congress? We will get to the bottom of this.

Let's continue the tradition of naming horrible phenomena after the Justice who argued for it, like "Kavanaugh stops."
BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects the Trump administration’s request to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois at this time, over the dissenting votes of Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch.
Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi...
Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi...
![We conclude that the term "regular forces" in §12406(3) likely refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into active federal service under § 12406(3), the President must be "unable" with the regular military "to execute the laws of the United States." Because the statute requires an assessment of the military's ability to execute the laws, it likely applies only where the military could legally execute the laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from "execut[ing] the laws" "except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress.
18 U.S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be "unable" with those forces to perform that function.
At this preliminary stage, the Government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois. The President has not invoked a statute that provides an exception to the Posse](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreibdsy2sqw2yxt3ztz7pwc6pigtulgalqxwwnzxhlmyg2ntchkswwu@jpeg)
![Comitatus Act. Instead, he relies on inherent constitutional authority that, according to the Government, allows him to use the military to protect federal personnel and property. But the Government also claims-consistent with the longstanding view of the Executive Branch-that performing such protective functions does not constitute
"executing] the laws" within the meaning of the Posse Comitatus Act. See Supp. Letter Reply Brief for Applicants
8; 1 Supp. Op. OLC 343, n. 1 (1971) (collecting sources). If that is correct, it is hard to see how performing those functions could constitute "executing] the laws" under
§12406(3). See Azar v. Allina Health Services, 587 U.S. 566, 574 (2019) ("This Court does not lightly assume that Congress silently attaches different meanings to the same term in e same or related statutes"). Thus, at least in this posture, the Government has not carried its burden to show that §12406(3) permits the President to federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois. We need not and do not address the reviewability of findi „s made by the Pres-
ident under §12406(3) or any other statute.
The application for stay is denied.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5gspjdv7pcrmexr4orqigpujw2rnwoyphysinbcbwarn23rzim4@jpeg)
