reminder for people that didnt see this, they sent out a list of ~70,000 "illegal" voters on counties voting rolls, than almost immediately said the list was bad and not to use it (you can probably figure out which act they promoted more) and then like a week later did they whole thing again

They did, and that's why it's been two years from tweet to implementation. Sooner or later you run out of ways to ignore a direct order from the commander in chief if the courts don't back you up, and he figures out how to deliver it in a way that can't be thrown out on procedural grounds. If the president wants to order the military to waste a bunch of money and make itself less effective, our system says that's his prerogative and the remedy is to have a different President undo it.

Reminder that this whole thing is only happening because dumbfuck misinterpreted a comment three years ago of “hey this one congressman is an idiot and thinks this bill will result in the military paying for reassignment surgery on active duty soldiers, which it doesn’t, can you do something so he’ll vote our way” as “ban trans people” instead of “tell him to vote for it” and has been doubling down ever since

This is about the “self-admitted former alcoholic and drug abuser George Bush, who did have a mysterious gap of service in his National Guard history” story where someone faked evidence of the circumstances of a thing that everyone involved has agreed did happen, right? Which a pre-Trump-but-still-Republican party seized upon as an excuse to take down a journalist they hated?

like half of these changes would be pretty reasonable from the standpoint of Article III judges that have tenure and independence. the rule basically imitates some of the procedural things those circuit court judges can do right now that streamline the administration of cases

but immigration judges aren't article III judges, they're completely controlled by the executive, and giving them the same powers is wrong. this is plainly meant to speed up deportations and allow the Attorney General himself (who has complete authority to override the appellate panel in question) more direct control of what becomes precedent

that said, unless they do everything perfectly, it might be too late to actually pass this rule, survive the inevitable legal challenges, and get it implemented during the trump admin

Because I do not for a minute before the Republican party was ever smart enough for that sort of 4D chess nonsense. And if they were, still LOL at falling for it so hard.
