Is it a bunch of people trying to push Kelly out? They leak to the media, trump thinks Kelly flipped and hope that suddenly trump has the balls to fire him? They underestimate how much trump hates confrontation. Theres a good chance trump would say "you're fired" kelly can respond "nahhh" and trump would just walk away and Kelly's still employed.

The fan fiction version of this would be that Kelly has stayed in the role while being interviewed by Mueller to pass Trump reactions/actions back to the SC and now Mueller doesn't need him so he's peacing out.

Missouri but yeah, they had to stick it on the Primary ballot to avoid increasing turnout for the Midterms. The only counties that voted yes are the reddest of the red and even those were close.

He opened the door and as he reached for the oven mitt on the counter, there was a flash of pain and light; the old familiar sting. The fist had lunged out of the oven and clocked him, cracking the orbit of his right eye. As he lay on the floor, remembering that 911 didn’t even take his calls anymore, he wondered: did I forget the fist’s birthday? selec fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Dec 7, 2018 |

I'd be shocked if the banks' argument held up in court, even given our judiciary from Hell. Nah this is what stealing the Supreme Court was intended to accomplish, just like when they gutted the VRA and overturned the mandatory Medicaid expansion under arguments almost as dumb. The counter is going to be "ah but VitalSigns, they upheld Obamcare in the face of equally stupid arguments in King v Burwell what about that", but the difference there is the corporate interests who tell our judges what to think were overwhelmingly against taking away their own subsidies to own the libs, whereas obviously gutting financial regulation is why they installed their stooges on the court.

I could potentially see Roberts defecting on that reading, since he's always been concerned with the court's image and seems to be a bit moreso in the age of Trump. I definitely wouldn't hold my breath though, he's perfectly happy to accept loopholes and literal readings when it suits him. Basically, the only way I see the bank's reading being shot down is if the circuit courts widely shut them down, because Roberts gets nervous about overturning a serious concensus.

I don't think he's too concerned with the court's appearance, he flushed it down the toilet to gut the VRA even though the long-term consequences for the court's legitimacy in the public would be disastrous. That's the explanation we always hear for why he did things like uphold the Obamacare mandate and later the subsidies, but there's an alternative explanation for both of those things: corporate interests wanted the mandate and the subsidies so he preserved those while gutting the parts of the law they hated like the Medicaid expansion. "Oh he's such a noble unsullied justice establishing his legacy was just the media spin to avoid acknowledging the reality of what Roberts did."

The only other job options out in the hollers are Walmart and military, and even those aren’t as easy to get these days as they used to be. The fact libs hate it is icing on the cake.

VitalSigns posted:I don't think he's too concerned with the court's appearance, he flushed it down the toilet to gut the VRA. roberts is concerned with the court's appearance in a functional way, not an idealistic way. the image of the court affects his ability to exercise power. doing something massively antidemocratic like abolishing obamacare wouldn't have gotten him that much that he really cared about because he didn't really care about obamacare, but would really damage his ability to get what he cared about in the future. the question here will be how much does roberts personally care about rolling back bank regulations, vs how much will he think it hurts his image. gutting the vra was something he desperately wanted to do so it was worth it to hurt his image because that's the sort of thing he hordes his power for; gutting obamacare less so, so it wasn't worth it.
