Also, the hoarder/smoker/possibly-alcoholic neighbor below me apparently died several weeks ago, and the apartment with his decomposing body is now being investigated. They still haven't moved the body, and the federal police haven't been able to make contact with the facility management company, so they can't seal the apartment whenever they get done.

Yes and also a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 227. The enforcement body, in the case of the president committing these offense is congress, so :lol:

All lives matter right?

How it began
On January 14, 2014, around 3 p.m., a mother picking up her child at Frances K. Sweet Elementary School heard loud music blaring from Hill's home.
Testimony showed Hill was playing Drake's "All Me," a song rife with F-bombs and N-words. The mother took offense and called police.
City law prohibits "unnecessary noise" and provides that offenders get a warning on the first offense in 24 hours and a citation on the second. A third complaint may result in a misdemeanor charge. This was Hill's first.
Newman and Deputy Edward Lopez responded and knocked on Hill's garage door and front door.

This deals with the issue, and IIRC the 1st amendment issue does not apply, but I forgot why.

edit: just relistened the episode. Even if Trump calls up all the team owners and says he wants them to fire kneeling players, that's not a 1st amendment violation. As long as he doesn't put the legislature or any agency under pressure to accomplish it, or otherwise uses some sort of official act, it's not a violation. And yes, that does mean that he can call up all the team owners and go "hey listen, I really really want you to fire the players who kneel during the anthem." He has the right to advocate a platform, and that's apparently separate from an official act of the office.

The first amendment can (and does) apply because the NFL is a quasi-public institution based on the amount of federal funding they receive in the form of tax benefits, monopoly protection, and statutory exemptions. This argument has not been specifically tested in court, but there's legal backing to support the concept. This is mainly that the NFL may not be able to restrict players speech on 1a grounds.

As far as Trump goes, he's violated 18 U.S. Code § 227 in a very cut and dry manner. It's via this violation that you could argue a 1a claim against him because his illegal act is directly impacting free speech by limiting employment opportunities.

I'm definitely not listening to an hour podcast, though. I'd be interested in reading a transcript but I personally don't like to listen to podcasts at all.,

The episode also deals with this issue, and no, the NFL would not be a quasi-public institution just because it receives funding from the gov't. What makes a quasi-public institution or not has been tested in court and according to the episode, getting federal funding would not make it quasi-public according to case law. So the 1st amendment doesn't apply.

As for listening in, the NFL bit starts at 26 mins or so.

It's not just because it receives government funding. The NFL (along with MLB) have specific anti-trust exemptions and other statutory protections that go far beyond just funding. It hasn't been tested, but it isn't a closed door because one podcast that doesn't talk about the full issue says it is. I could link other lawyers writing the opposite. This goes simply to the NFL rule prohibiting protests could potentially run afoul of the 1a, but this has nothing to do with Trump.

18 U.S. Code § 227 is the more pertinent issue at hand, though, vs the quasi-public aspect. This is the statute that Trump violated by calling owners and threatening them to change policy. This is the avenue via which someone would have a 1a claim against Trump. Trump has forced the NFL owners to make employment decisions that infringe upon the 1a guarantee to freedom of speech.

Unfortunately, this would be true of the NFL determined of their own accord to push the ban.

They didn't. And Kaepernick's lawyer intends to prove that Trump was directly involved in pressuring them to push the ban, as well as possibly influencing them not to hire Kaepernick. Which IS a violation of the 1st amendment.

E: South Carolina has admitted they use no-knock raids without a warrant, in violation of SCOTUS ruling.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.93b52f332b0f"

Best part: The person they raided had a mounted camera in front of his door that showed everyone on the task force lied to the court about both knocking and wearing clearly identifying clothing.
