Do you really believe this?
I think the SCOTUS is going to check his ambitions but there are enough in Congress that support him to worry me. Especially if this whole DOGE attempt is cover for 2025 type ambitions to purge the Government of his opposition.

If not for Pence, Ratzberger, et cetera, we would have had a real Constitutional crisis on our hands with no easy prediction of the outcome. If those positions of power are filled with acolytes like Judge Canon in Florida it's no joke that our Democracy would be in peril.
 
Hey, man, lemme get a puff... 🥴

Yea, Vance replacing Pence is pretty horrid considering some of Vance’s stances on 2020, the courts, and media.

Judges will also be a problem in the long term now that there isn’t an appointment filibuster. Overtime, you will get less qualified but more partisan appointees as well as an inventive structure to do the most partisan rulings in order to move up. That’s a big problem I see in the next few decades

You have a great deal more faith in them than I do.

Not threadworthy, but I think ya'll will get a kick out of this story.

North Dakota man accused of impersonating an ICE officer when jail staff released an inmate to him


BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man was arrested after authorities say he impersonated an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer and walked an inmate out of a county jail.

Shane Al Randall, of Williston, is charged with impersonating officials, a misdemeanor. Court papers say jail staff of the Williams County Correctional Center in Williston had told the inmate that ICE was coming to pick him up. The inmate then called Randall “to have him come pick him up,” authorities said.
Randall arrived and told jail staff he was from ICE when he is not employed by the agency, and the staff released the inmate to him, court documents say.
Jail staff learned within 15 to 20 minutes that Randall was not an ICE agent when the real officer arrived, Williams County Sheriff Verlan Kvande said. Officers subsequently found and arrested Randall and the inmate without incident, his office said in a statement.
The inmate was found at his home, the sheriff said. He was arrested last month for driving under suspension and held on a detainer for ICE, and has been taken to the Ward County Detention Center in Minot, the sheriff’s office said.
Court records indicate Randall is representing himself. He has bonded out of jail, the sheriff said. Randall has an initial appearance scheduled for March. He did not immediately respond to a message sent to a Facebook account believed to be his. A phone number for him could not immediately be found.
The misdemeanor offense is punishable by up to 360 days in jail and/or a $3,000 fine.


You'd think the punishment would be more severe than 360 days in jail.
 

Demonstrating yet again that uncritically trusting the output of generative AI is dangerous, attorneys involved in a product liability lawsuit have apologized to the presiding judge for submitting documents that cite non-existent legal cases.


I wonder how more people haven't learned this lesson yet.
