  • Trump Judge Says Some Women Are Just a “Warm, Wet Hole”

  • She's an administrative judge, basically one that doesn't go through an Article III confirmation and can have their spot changed with the administration.

  • Maybe, but the Jews fleeing Germany into Austria probably wished they went somewhere else when the Germans invaded.

    Debt slavery makes that really hard.

  • Yeah! The thing is that fascism follows people when they flee it. When people escaped the Nazis to Austria, the Nazis followed them. Admittedly, it was for expansionist reasons, but:

    My point is Canada might not be the safe harbor it purports to be.

  • Well, without looking at how the course of things developed, it could be possible for the other another branch to eliminate the position (like if the legislature defunds the position to take effect immediately).

    grandfather clauses.

    On the federal level, once Congress has appropriated funding for something, it cannot be revoked and the executive must spend the money. So, that would be the most grandfather-y thing, but Congress could always defund the program/position next year.

    As for the state level, it looks like funding can be taken away immediately. But, even if it can't, there is no obligation for a state legislature to continue funding something a year later. Basically works like that for everything on the budget. Only true positions that exist are the executive, the lieutenant executive, at least 1 judge, and a few legislators. Everything else is at the financial whims of the legislature. So, you're out if they want you out.

  • Administration of the state courts are left up to the states (the legislature and executive). There can be no federal oversight of this because administration of the state courts are left up to the states such that the states don't deny voting b/c age, race, sex; don't have a slave trade like before the Civil War; and the states recognize the Bill of Rights.

    Basically, this is a federalism thing comingling with a state's separation of powers (there is no redress in the state-court system b/c the separation of powers as mentioned above).

  • Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027

    Jump

  • So I'll have reduced millage/charge and extra weight for carrying around this surveillance technology for the government and whose sole benefit will be the government?

    Will I be compensated for this burden? No?

    Would I be penalized for removing it from my car on my own?

    What happens if it "breaks"? Will I be expected to fork over my own money to repair/replace the government's surveilance device? Logically speaking, burdening the car's operating with a regulatory requirement like this could constitute a taking. Then again, it could be a logical extension of Congress's taxing and spending power, but it probably isn't without a strict mandate from Congress to have those devices. Maybe it goes to Congress's powers to regulate interstate commerce.

  • The United States' courts are, but the state courts often seem to hold against the rapist. Its why some of his pardons don't work: the person(s) he pardons are in state custody rather than federal.

  • Actually, the last time the Constitution was amended was in 2020 when Virginia became the 38th state to pass the Equal Rights amendment. But, of course, conservative ciquanery kept it off.
