I like to listen to SCOTUS oral arguments. Jackson and Sotomayor are the weakest Justices. Frequently another Justice has to come to the rescue and pose a question that clarifies a question posed by either Jackson or Sotomayor. Kagan is dangerous because she is pretty sharp. Kegan will ask questions to elicit a response to try and convince the other Justices of her position. I am not sure what Barrett is doing.

Two interesting exchanges took place this week. In the first Sotomayor was clearly angry and raised her voice at the attorney who was defending the children and families wanting to opt out against a school's storytime reading of books that were clearly against his client religious beliefs. The other was when one attorney accused the other attorney of lying. The justices took great exception to this. Gorsuch went so far as to read from the accusers brief to show there was no lying and he forced the accuser to back down. For SCOTUS argument it was pretty dramatic stuff.

Just show up at a refinery with a few hundred barrels trailered asking if they want to make a deal?

I had some experience with selling some oil in that area about 20 years ago. The refinery, if operating legally, has to know where the oil is coming from because if the oil is coming from a federal lease they have to withhold the royalty of 25% from the payment, I would not be surprised to find that the refinery was paying below market price for the oil.

Hard to steal the intellectual property of US companies if you cannot get your hands on the product.

The existence of a "Withholding Order preventing deportation to El Salvador," is an embarrassing lie. If it existed, I think we would have seen it by now.

I took the time to listen to the first part of the video. Interesting stuff.

As I stated before regarding the Withholding order, I would liked to have seen a country. Since the order references his application I would like to see his application to which country he was trying to avoid. What i find odd is neither party is pointing to his application. The one thing that would make since on why is that the application is also silent as to which country he wanted to avoid. What is also odd is neither party has filed a motion with the immigration judge seeking clarification on what country.
If I was Bondi, I would instruct the US Attorney in Tennessee to seek an indictment from a Grand Jury for human trafficking. Then get a no bail order from the Judge. Then let KAG know that if he is returned he will be held in prison until his trial and if found guilty he will do his time then will be deported. He will never be free in the US again.

Anybody at LSU law school around 1988-1990? I seem to remember a married couple where the husband came out as trans-woman and the wife decided she was a lesbian so they stayed together. This happened right before they finished school the husband/trans-woman wanted LSU to use his woman name on his diploma and LSU refused. quite the scandal.

It may not mean they take no action

If they were going to take no action they would have denied the emergency application. I have been following SCOTUS closely for the last few years and these national injunctions have been irritating them, especially Thomas and Alito. Also Roberts is a stickler on standing. Go through all the plaintiffs in the three cases and most of them lack standing, it is basic law that a party cannot assert rights of third parties.

On the other hand there are 3 justices, Jackson, Kegan, and Sotomayor who I believe are fine with what is happening in the lower courts and would have denied the application.

Therefor it will come down to the three justices Trump appointed to decide the outcome of the case. And I believe that they will side with Thomas and Alito to severely cut back on these national injuctions.

he will take a plea deal if the attorney's were smart

---

not anytime soon. his attorneys will continue telling him he has case until he is broke. Kind of like divorce attorneys keeping there clients stirred up until the parties start to complain about the attorney fees, then the case that could not be settled miraculously settles.

Pretty dry and ambiguous.

Lots of inter and intra agency coordination... within fedgov, other us law enforcement, other countries, ngos, digital content, banking, etc...

---

I agree, I would like to add that if you take into account what came out from the DOJ, White Supremacy group, parents who speak up at PTA meeting, the Catholic church and other religious group, it gives you a blueprint on them.

Also I noted the mentioning of "disinformation" and countering it. I read that to mean censorship.

quote:

---

How much does Trump pay El Salvador to fly their president to the White House to tell him he doesn’t have to listen to US law.

---

Bukele did not tell Trump, he was telling the idiots on the left that El Salvador has Sovereign Immunity and no court can tell his country what to do. And since he has Diplomatic Immunity there is nothing you or the courts can do to him.

So they have 2A rights?

Federal law makes it a crime for an illegal alien to possess a weapon. The circuits are split on the constitutionality of the statute and the Supreme court just denied writs, so we wait until the Supreme Court decides to resolve the split.
