The fact that he didn't immediately just say "of course I won't, this whole thing is nonsense" says something. This is a guy that never minces words about doing obviously hypocritical things to gently caress over Democrats.

There's no way the complaint could be about this then, because they wouldn't do this. They'd pull the Mueller report poo poo again.

Infrastructure week during impeachment would break the simulation, resulting in Trump successfully convincing Republicans and Blue-Dog Democrats to dissolve Congress, Trump declaring himself God Emperor and then ordering his own execution.

Holy poo poo that's an interesting thought. If Roberts deliberately and openly tanks this thing in the senate you can move against the legitimacy of the conservative SCOTUS as well

I think the effect of the ruling is essentially that Parliament just goes back into session. There's nothing in the ruling that says anything actually happens to Boris.

Not immediately, but this is the one thing he was put in place to do. If he fucks it up and doesn't get Brexit done by Halloween, he's going to be no confidence'd back to the stone age.

Honestly, the US military shouldn't have jurisdiction to kill anybody outside of a war declared by congress. The fact that we have a list of people we just want dead without any form of due process is absolutely insane.

Might've been, for all I know. Regarding the broader significance, it's a complicated answer and I gotta sleep, but I'll try to put together a post if nobody else mentions it and I get the time. Short answer is it's a good precedent that was also very inconvenient. Followup cases would be Ex parte Quirin, Johnson v Eisentrager, and a bunch of poo poo from the Bush administration because of course there was.

our insane "everybody is a feudal lord on their own property" runs up against our insane "guns for everybody everywhere" in this case

The compromise is that every beer sold needs a handgun taped to it as the handle, but the bar owns the guns and the bartender has a remote control that makes all the guns fire at once. Also the remote control is one of those Looney Tunes style ones with the big red button that sticks up like an entire inch.

If Guiliani tells the Democrats to take their subpoena and SHOVE IT UP YOUR UGLY rear end, they hold him in contempt... what happens then? I recall ball-busting fines mentioned more than once. If the DoJ refuses to arrest him, does Barr go on the chopping block too? If so, seeing as Congress funds Washington, DC, could they have the Capital Police or DC Metro Police police arrest Giuliani the next time he's in DC?

Congress has their own officer who will go arrest Giuliani if they use their inherent contempt powers.

I wake up every morning to see the horrific news that constantly, inevitably berates me and all I see is death and destruction and suffering and nothing ever positive ever happens and I realize more and more every single day there is not single good thing that mankind has ever done ever and we all deserve to die.

My life is hosed I mean I don't get pleasure from anything anymore. I don't watch tv and I don't watch movies and I don't read books I just watch in horror as everything gets worse and worse and worse.

Every single decision I made in my life I hedged on things that are now unpopular and going by the wayside. Immigration, multiculturalism, kindness, love. That's all dead.

Everything I support loses and fails. Every brand of politics I like, ends up losing, and those who hate and want to destroy it wins. Every sports team I support loses. Every person I like or friend I make ends up homeless or in the streets. I am cursed.

Another 9/11 isn't going to be a credit to the sitting president again.

Bush was given a pass by the public at large because the average person didn't think terrorism was a threat (which is ridiculous, the executive should be prepared for all sorts of scenarios that the public isn't). Now, "protecting us from terrorists" is seen by the public as part of the president's job. It would hurt him more than help, I think.

Especially since Bush used the attack to say "See!? We totally need to get more involved in this" and Trump is running on "gently caress em, let them kill each other. Not our problem."

Once poo poo starts blowing up here, it very quickly becomes our problem.

They think they can get by saying "Save are troops" when the troops were not really in harm's way in the first place and their presence was mostly about deterrence anyways.

The point was more they've been beating on the "We need to save the Christian minority in the Middle East from those evil Muslims!" since forever. And now Trump is just shrugging and saying "Of course Turkey is going to murder the Kurds. Not our problem."

58.2% using 2017 registration numbers.
