CommieGIR posted:The question that is going to come up, and will likely be investigated, and was already under investigation: Was how many of these did Trump sell for cash? I suspect a lot of them are paid pardons, and the DOJ under Biden likely is going to come crashing down on that. My question is, could this specific example of pardons be examined because if the President can pardon an attack on the judicial or Congress, then there really isn't 3 pillars nor checks and balances.

pmchem posted:seems more complicated than that, though: https://www.graciamintz.com/blog/2020/march/are-all-crimes-in-washington-d-c-federal-crimes-/ That's not the same as the distinction between state and federal for the purpose of a pardon, though. States are their own sovereigns. As such they have their own criminal domain. That DC has its own courts and criminal code that are treated like state offenses for a lot of purposes does not change the fact the are still federal laws under which the president has supreme authority. The President I think has exclusive power to pardon DC offenses. TCD posted:My question is, could this specific example of pardons be examined because if the President can pardon an attack on the judicial or Congress, then there really isn't 3 pillars nor checks and balances. The pardon power is exclusive to the executive. The check on the executive is impeachment.

Defenestrategy posted:Really.... The more I hear about the founding of this nation the more I think the founders deserve to be spanked with moon rocks rather than fellated by segments of our society. Check out Pauline Maier's Ratification if you want a good look at how the Framers' Constitution was originally received. Has some good bits of George Washington getting irate that random town councils and local assemblies were not only debating their perfectly constructed document but actually bothering to submit detailed, reasoned critiques and proposed changes back up the chain.

The headline on the AP article kind of sensationalizes the whole thing (and it's why you bring 20K instead of 2K, you know you're going to get a few nazis, so overwhelm them): https://apnews.com/article/biden-in..._source=Twitterquote:Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press on Sunday that officials are conscious of the potential threat, and he warned commanders to be on the lookout for any problems within their ranks as the inauguration approaches. So far, however, he and other leaders say they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues that they were aware of. And looking like Donnie is going to have to pay out-of-pocket for his impeachment lawyers (they'll demand it all up front I'm sure): https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1351021299137720324

A few pages late, but Re: NG with empty mag wells, this was the SOP during the civil unrest this summer on MN. Some what of an EOF, we slapped mags in when we started to have things thrown at us. Eventually at the squad/team level we kind of dictated our own posture given the surrounding/situation we were in. At one post we took off our vests and stashed our weapons in our truck (responsibly, out of sight of prying eyes but always one of us within arms reach) to project a friendlier presence.

It seems like if your force isn't able to automatically engage with lethal force at a predetermined range, regardless of whether the traitors are firing first/visibly armed/etc they're going to be overwhelmed by sheer numbers or else unwilling to shoot whites up close and personal, and either way it essentially ends up like 1/6 where the traitors can just kind of push past.

I would imagine much of the senior leadership would have real life experience of civil unrest in Iraq/AFG, and would dictate things accordingly. That could be completely wrong, but I know that a bunch of the dudes in the MD NG who in the Grey Riots had guys of that era who helped them understand what it's like on the ground. I am probably too hopeful.

Nope, there's no expectation of privacy on the radio, and only the government/military/police departments can legally use encrypted radio transmissions.

Amateur Radio’s long history and service to the public has solidified the well-earned reputation that “Amateur Radio saves lives.” There's a big map of webSDRs (computer controlled scanners you can access from the internet) and there's a VHF one in DC, might be worth checking during the inauguration or if anything goes on: http://www.websdr.org/
