The Boeing 737-200QC is the undisputed workhorse of the skies.
I’m hard pressed to think of a fast food place that does have an animal as a mascot.

McDonald - Creepy clown
Burger King - Creepy king
Jack in the box - Creepy jack in the box

I wonder if there's a separate aquatic mascot for every different species that they eat. Tuna, salmon, mackerel, etc.

The only real question left is who leaked it. Trump's legal team leaks like a sieve so they're the obvious suspect. But the brief is so badly written that this may be a rare Mueller leak just to show what a bunch of bozos they're dealing with. On the other OTHER hand, a legal team this incompetent wouldn't notice how badly written it was and leak it as a trial balloon for what appears to be a legal argument for an imperial presidency.

there hasn't been a single leak traceable to Mueller while various trump factions leak stuff damaging to other trump factions left and right, so just because it's hilariously damaging doesn't mean it's not from the trump side

unless you're a judge, citing the magna carta is just identifying yourself as a complete nutcase to anyone who is reading your brief who is going to be veering hard into sovereign citizen territory within a page or two

if you are a judge you're probably just identifying the decision as a pompous and bad decision

in that case you would cite to an american court case citing the magna carta for the preposition you want to endorse, and quote the language about that principle going all the way back to the magna carta from that court case. under no circumstances do you cite the magna carta directly.

Watch as we slowly get maneuvered into the perfect immobile drilling position.

Alternatively, Trump could have a temporary medical issue, and then Pence could step into office just long enough to pardon him.

DOJ posted:

Presidential or Legislative Pardon of the President

Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon
himself.

If under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment the President declared that he was temporarily unable to perform
the duties of the office, the Vice President would become Acting President and as such could pardon
the President. Thereafter the President could either resign or resume the duties of his office.

Although as a general matter Congress cannot enact amnesty or pardoning legislation, because to do so
would interfere with the pardoning power vested expressly in the President by the Constitution, it
could be argued that a congressional pardon granted to the President would not interfere with the
President’s pardoning power because that power does not extend to the President himself.

What would a legislative pardon look like that wouldn’t run into a separation of powers issue? The President can pardon because it’s specifically in the Constitution. Congress has no such power. Just because the President arguably can’t pardon himself doesn’t automatically vest Congress with the power to do the same.

Of course if we get to that point I suppose it’s fitting that our Republic died due to the Air Bud rule.

Among other concerns, the Magna Carta is written in Latin so you would at least want to cite a translation.

US. v. Tigano, 880 F.3d 602, 611 (2d Cir. 2018) posted:

The Magna Carta incorporates this requirement in its early thirteenth century language establishing basic guarantees of justice: "We will sell to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either justice or right." Id. at 223, 87 S.Ct. 988 (emphasis added) (quoting Magna Carta, c. 29 (c. 40 of King John's Charter of 1215) (1225), translated and quoted in Sir Edward Coke, The Second Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England 45 (Brooke, 5th ed., 1797) ("Coke's Institutes")).

Congress could pass a law making everything he did legal for a President to do. Then repeal the law after he leaves office, but then he’s safe because it would be ex post facto.

It would take a lot of accomplices, but he already has that in Congress. I mean, the rule of law is more fragile than we think. It requires good faith from a majority of stakeholders.

Congress can't pardon, and can't make criminal conduct un-criminal after the fact.

If they tried, of course, we're all too fat and lazy and glued to our phones and TVs to do anything about it other than violently and impotently bleat into our internet shout jars until we run out of breath and then flip back to CSI: Manitoba/Facebook/Jezebel: Op Ed section and look for the next hit of digital dopamine before falling asleep with a smug smile on our jiggly chins.

Actually, for some reason, this seems to be the season for it, $160 to $180 was in June 2016. Eidt: And I guess prior to OCI makes sense.

My hope is that Milbank wanted to jump in front and make a quick splash before other firms go to $200, possibly to *maybe* save some face if they stay at $190. Is that the most optimistic reading of this, and do I have any actually knowledge of what's going on? Yes it is, and no I do not, but whatever.
