I am not taking Cook County's position here. But it is important to understand that they put themselves in jeopardy if their compliance with IC detainers ends up meaning the County holds inmates longer than the Court ordered. That opens up the Sherff, jail, county to lawsuits.

If you really are curious and find something I would be interested in what you find I had always thought HFCS was considered safe across the globe but that some places regulate it to protect domestic industry - like Europe protecting beet farmers.

I think it comes down to supply chains, right? As others have pointed out - corn is cheap and abundant in USA. Not so in gErmany. But in Germany they typically do not use cane, they use beets. So we get our sugar from corn while Europe largely gets their sugar from beets.

EDIT - nevermind, repeating a post above

That is a good point that I wasn't considering.

My initial thought, though, is still raise the rate. The Fed cannot be concerned with fiscal policy. I think you could also argue the low rate has contributed to the fiscal irresponsibility.

What is the difference between a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and a U.S. Attorney?

Is Bastian not aware of the Constitution?

28 U.S. Code § 541 - United States attorneys

(c)Each United States attorney is subject to removal by the President

Are Bastian's law clerks so eaten up by hatred of Trump that they failed to read on-point statutes?

Notice how the piece of "journalism" explicitly made it seem as if the WH was not complying with a federal judge's order

quote:

---

CNN was excluded on Saturday from pool duty aboard Air Force One, despite a district judge’s ruling – two days earlier – overturning the White House’s ban on the network and two other media organizations.

Of course that is not true. The district court said nothing about making sure CNN was primary tv pool organization.
The ruling was about credentials and access to WH grounds and most specifically the press briefing room.

You cannot hate these storytellers enough.

Clinton grew into a deficit hawk. Bush actively pushed deficits.

You are guaranteed one habeas petition after a death sentence. To file a second habeas requires jumping through a lot of hurdles that make it next to impossible to actually get it heard.
To get around this - defense attorneys will file what amounts to a second habeas but claim it is a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 60(b) Motion attacking the original habeas. In this case, the claim is that evidence unknown at the time of the original habeas is now known and impacts the sentence.
The district court dismissed the claim - finding that the petition was really a second habeas. The Court of Appeals found that it could possibly be a FRCP 60(b) motion and should go back down to the district court - either to be heard on the merits or to determine definitively whether it is a second habeas.

Or, to put it more bluntly - the defense threw a hail mary and their prayers were answered
