The anti defamation league guy sure is doing a good job of dodging the central point of Israeli money affecting politicians here. He was directly asked about that, and just said "red herring, it's racism!"

eke out posted:gonna need a cite to where in the Constitution this is required lol Nowhere! Any judge will do. Coolidge was sworn in by his father, a justice of the peace. If Donald loses re-election, there's nothing at all he can do to prevent the next President from being sworn in at noon on January 20th, 2021. They can grab any local DC judge to do it.

Also John Roberts cares about his legacy enough that he wouldn't literally destroy the country if he was the holdout.

Doing so would be detrimental to his point. quote:After apologizing for that comment and acknowledging her need to be “educated,” she followed with another tweet, questioning the “allegiance” of supporters of Israel, intimating that we place the concerns of Israel above those of the country that we call home.

Crows Turn Off posted:Why do people think this? I see no reason to trust Roberts. He's shown a willingness to take the long view and (correctly) sees the Court as a very useful tool for enabling conservative policy. He's only going to sacrifice the appearance of legitimacy of the Court if it's worth it. Stupid stuff like playing along with whatever Trump clancychat might be at issue isn't.

TheScott2K posted:Is a "swearing in" even necessary? this is one of those legitimacy things an awful lot of the core function of government is acting like you're supposed to be in charge, and that there are literally any blocks on you doing whatever you want with your power. as such, there are a series of asinine rituals one is expected to perform to keep that pretense intact. as Trump has been so kind as to demonstrate, if you stop doing those rituals, the universe does not end. but you get a lot of plebs starting to wonder "wait, if they aren't following the rituals, why the gently caress should I." the Process, Blessed And Holy Be Its Name, is a not -entirely- powerless god. it's just that when you start asking it for anything other than a disengaged populace it shrugs its shoulders and says "sorry, that's not my department"

Manafort will get 10 from Virginia, and 10 from DC with half being served concurrently. Total of 15 years, of which he wills serve a maximum of 12-13.
