That the government action was taken because of a viewpoint,

That's not been proven one way or another and is a central part of the litigation.

No you aren't. The president is revoking a security clearance for individuals of a firm, that do not work for the government, and you are supporting action taken by a district judge to block a power that a president should clearly have.

You also have a history of supporting prosecutions from numerous districts and levels of court that have gone absolutely nowhere. That is not "small" government.

The entire legal industry in its current state cannot coexist with "small" government. It's laughable to suggest otherwise.

Well then frick off. Your act is tired and as someone who has attempted to see your viewpoint.. no more.. you act like a spoiled child who feels intellectually superior to everyone else.. but alas.. you aren’t

What I wrote

quote:

On the basis that it was their "viewpoints" that prompted action by the government, rather than their actions, as the EO states.


I'm not sure why this distinction even matters

a. I haven't really come down on it one way or another personally

b. If the action violates the limitations of the 1A, then, why would I be opposed to a court invalidating this expansion of government powers beyond Constitutional limits? Desiring less government is ensuring government remains within its constitutional limits.

Again, this is more confusion in me explaining a legal process and my personal opinion on the process.

It's also a learning moment. If you want to see the fruition of this, see the hypocrisy in the "texas bond" thread on page 1.

In the sense that we need fewer laws and government authority needs to be constrained? Sure.

Even then, this unwinding has to be done properly and gradually or else we risk shock to the system which increases the chance for chaos which increase the chance for authoritarianism.

For whatever reason I read it as promoted, which is very different then prompted. That's why my response used "promoted"

Promotion denotes participation (in this case by PC)

Prompted denotes unilateral response (in this case, by the government)

I've just read through the thread, and I must admit to not have all that much knowledge of the actual events being discussed.

That said, it appears that you are saying that the president has the authority to revoke security clearance without giving a reason, but if he does give a reason it can't be because he doesn't like their political leanings as that would be in violation the 1st Amendment.

And in this case the president doesn't like their political leanings because this firm was involved in fabricating falsehoods in order to sway voters opinions away from the president during a presidential campaign.

And further, that once he was in office, this particular firm was not implicated in using the above falsehoods in an effort to actually remove him from office.

Therefore, the judge does not see any reason supplied by the president to remove their security clearance beyond the fact that they used fabricated 'evidence' against him in a campaign.

...and all of this could've been avoided if the president had simply terminated the firm's security clearance without comment?

Do I have your position stated clearly enough?

You will never accuse me of being a diehard Trump apologist. He steps in his own crap more than anyone I have ever seen.

How about you stop telling people they are confused when you are the one that is confused?

Again, your main goal is to keep things "focused" - you said so yourself several times. Maybe stop and read what people write, and understand their point, before deciding who is focused and who isn't

Nope. This is the same meme all the time.

I explain legal issues without giving a personal opinion.

MAGA melts because it's not what the echo chamber said.

Someone claims I'm "defending" something involving the case.

I explain the above paradigm.

They accuse me of crawfishing due to their own errors.

Sure. That + my intelligence is where I got today.

Someone just yesterday said I was a "god of trivia" actually (true story).

You don't get that way by just existing.

Then you get the idiocy we see ITT and others trying to discuss legal issues and reverting to "common sense" when they reach their intellectual/logical limit.

That will lead to its own chaos and the accompanying bad times

Nope, his main goal is to keep the thread going, some kind of weird lawyer exercise. He is a professional time waster, you won't win.

Ignore the judge, a security clearance is not a right.

Or better, declassify everything on every politician and any judge, the release Epstein's client list.
