Hasn't she shit this bed enough to take it to the Appellate?
It's bad enough her last thing was telling the Defense to ask for a dismissal -after the jury is selected- to trigger double-jeopardy so he can never be prosecuted by a real court when she pulls out the pre-executed dismissal paperwork!

Re: OHIO VOTES TO ENSHRINE ABORTION RIGHTS INTO STATE CONSTITUTION
This SCOTUS did shoot down "Independent State Legislature" (which would have the same effect), so for what it's worth, they have set precedent.bilateralrope wrote: ↑2023-11-10 10:39pm Hopefully that thought worries SCOTUS enough that they predict this precedent is a threat to their power.

Re: Kevin McCarthy removed as US House speaker
Steve "David Duke without the baggage" Scalise has plenty of distractions. But the GOP NOT giving over to Trump's pick means his hold might be loosening, and that can't be a bad thing. He still has kooks on the ground willing to march, though.

Re: Trump and the Jan 6 investigation
It sounds like Trump thinks Judge McAfee will be more favourable to him than the Federal judges he's likely to get if he gets the case moved there. Like Meadows before him, Trump would have to testify as to WHY he would somehow qualify for the change. And Trump on the stand? Even his bad lawyers kn...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: FBI RAIDS TRUMP RESIDENCE IN MAR-A-LAGO FOR CLASSIFIED NUCLEAR DOCUMENTS, AMONG OTHERS
One fun detail I've learned about this latest reveal is that the DOJ asked to file it under seal. Judge Cannon denied it. So they filed it in the open. Letting all of Trump's co-defendants see it and that dumping the Trump lawyer and telling the truth has avoided charges for others. Cannon really i...

Nauta should have been arraigned about the same time as Trump, but he wasn't because Nauta wasn't able to arrange a Florida lawyer for it. So the arraignment was delayed. Twice.

Maybe he SOLD the Wagner group to Russia? That way Russia still gets the troops they want, and Prigozhin can fuck off with a few hundred million.

This leaves the lawyers on the hook for their client (finally!), when the inevitable all-caps incitement...

One thing about SNW that struck me was the ship often feels empty. TOS had nameless crew scuttling about, but there have been scenes in SNW where I honestly wonder if the crew is supposed to be 400+ anymore. "This is THE sickbay, right? Where is the staff?!"

I expected this. Someone forgot the purpose of surveillance was to surveil.
Drone footage of the Russian strike
What I didn't expect is that someone above "flyboy" gave the go-ahead to do it.
And the software was wiped, but no cinematic "auto-destruct" for the drone.

Dousing it with fuel + hot engine parts/exhaust of the drone igniting that is more "accidental" than colliding with it.
