If convicted and removed the governor can appoint a new justice.

But…

The fun part is they don’t have to convict, under WI law if a justice is impeached they are barred from trying cases until the Senate tries them.

If they move forward my money is on impeachment and delay, since that kills the majority (that the people of WI voted for, on the basis that she opposed the horrific district maps) and everyone’s job is safe for another election cycle.

Reportedly 3 inches taller than I am, and only 10lbs heavier. But he probably couldn’t stretch one of my shirts enough to even get it over his moobs.

I was just (somewhat poorly) answering the ‘why is this even an option’ question above, not trying to justify it.

Even if it does work, it changes nothing but the venue. They’re still facing state charges, and it’s still DA Willis and her team bringing them, it’ll just be a federal judge overseeing with a slightly larger jury pool.

My point wasn’t that it’s a way to avoid the charges, however it will work as a delay tactic.

Not if your understanding of the US Constitution is the same as it was when you were in grade 3.

Not op (nor a lawyer) but as it was explained by an actual lawyer, there’s an argument to be made that since some of the crimes were committed while president he could argue that they were done so as part of his presidential duties. If the judge agrees it could be moved to federal court.

Mark Meadows has already filled a req to remove the case to federal court since he was acting as a federal employee during all the crime-ing.

The Smart Fortwo is the most tactical of them all, the turning radius of a shopping cart, near unlimited visibility, and the safety structure is at least twice as strong as the other vehicles.

They also party harder than strawberries

I can also recommend OA, they’ll get a little into the weeds on some things but I enjoy that kind of stuff.

“Aww hell, my latest lootbox contained erectile dysfunction… I’ll have to buy a few more to try and get rid of it”

Judging by what he was involved in (forged elector doc verbiage, gathering a list of lawyers to assist in each state they planned to forge said certs) Boris was my slightly educated guess.

There were a lot of high hopes that it would be Stone or Bannon but they just don’t fit the bill.

Bummer that it looks like we lost a bunch of top notch comments in one of the original threads…but to answer one question I tried to reply to right as the other threads were replaced with the megathread.

Judging by #1’s links to phone calls to senators/reps on 6JAN I’d say that’s Rudy. Since he’s a bumbling idiot and called the wrong numbers we have the voicemail he intended to leave for Tuberville.

Reports say Eastman’s lawyers confirmed he is #2, but I couldn’t find a link so we’ll have to wait for confirmation on that one.

Edit: Looking at page 30 I would assume #4 is Jeffrey Clark, as WH council was trying to dissuade him from taking the role of acting AG.

Edit again: My guess for #5 is Kenny Chesebro, with a name like that I shouldn’t have forgotten about him but he was critical in the fake elector plot.

Last edit(?): Boris Epshteyn might be behind door #6, putting this in comments and I’ll leave it if I’m wrong!

But you’d also think someone who is running for president would want to do whatever possible to get those ‘found not guilty’ headlines as soon as possible.

Ya know… If they were confident that ‘not guilty’ was the most likely outcome.

If he’s found guilty of everything in this indictment the sentences will be served concurrently. All the attention grabbing headlines claiming he’s 'facing 327 years in prison" are bunk.

But in his case there’s no difference between 15-20 and 327.

This might just be too brave

Saw Oppenheimer tonight, the number of people wearing bright pink in the theater lobby was a sight to behold.

It was really cool actually.

The Wyze headphones I picked up for $45 do this, along with noise cancellation that’s good enough for flights. I figured it would be standard on any premium headphones.

‘We have a lot of theories but no evidence’

So they didn’t even vet the theories…and Rudy was just “repeating what he was told” because that’s a good defense. But they’re saying this lawsuit was only filed to embarrass Rudy.

Previous leaks included info on the Pro, same larger screen and 3 camera setup. However this time around the screen is rumored to be flat instead of curved on the sides.

Just a note about the injunction, it will not survive on appeal. The judge in this case stretched things pretty thin in his argument for the emergency injunction pending trial in this case. Lumping together government agencies reporting TOS violations with other elected officials threatening section 230 into one was just silly. Episode 771 of the Opening Arguments podcast does a better job of explaining the injunction and ongoing case than I ever could.
