re: Trump Targets American Bar Association Accreditation Power

Exactly right. Worrying about accreditation is something for the local Bars to determine, not the federal.
I mean if DOJ doesn't want to admit people who went to an ABA accredited school maybe you get an affect later on, but if the states would still require it, then this is just overused ink on surplus paper.
All those trees
True, and I misunderstood your question about membership being voluntary. It is voluntary in only the most general sense and a law school who chose not to let ABA accredit them would lose a lot of money and students.
But if the DOE refuses to recognize the ABA as the national accreditor, then something will replace it - whether regional bodies or another national body, and that would destroy the ABA's power. So, yes, you are technically correct, but functionally no law school would care about ABA accreditation at that point. Why would they want to comply with two accreditation bodies?

ABA is a private operation and membership is voluntary so I'm not seeing some big gotcha. Schools are free to belong or not belong currently. What if they all chose to belong?
ABA is the only nationally recognized accrediting body. This means that only law schools approved by ABA can have graduates allowed to take the bar exam in any U.S. jurisdiction.
There are other accrediting bodies, but they are jurisdiction specific, meaning after you graduate, you are only allowed to take bar exam in that particular jurisdiction.

This is the current state of the law based on laws and decisions originally made 100 years ago before cameras were ubiquitous. I’m not sure that this doesn’t need to be revisited. Allowing the government to constantly track everyone’s movements 24/7 is troubling - very 1984ish.
You are correct. New caselaw distinguishes between continuous, automated devices that are distinguished from older tech that cold surveil/track you for discrete time periods and maybe even just certain (always public in all cases) places.
The two leading cases on this are: Carpenter v. United States and Chatrie v. United States.
But I doubt these cases would apply to something like flock cameras since they don't follow a person around all the time.

When I was younger I used to sort of chuckle when pro-lifers talked about how legal abortion erodes morality and especially the sanctity of life. What this case does is show how correct the Right to Life movement is in that respect.

CPR is not a poll and they dont rely on them very heavily.
Their analysis relies more on talking to people on the ground.
Very influential because they have a good track record - so when they change leans like this the candidate getting the benefit will see an increase in money.

I did not infer anything. Nothing. I simply stated what the autopsy said: "CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST COMPLICATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SUBDUAL, RESTRAINT, AND NECK COMPRESSION"
That is the cause of death as determined by the county medical examiner.

I am not saying the medical examiner is correct. I was responding to the claim that the autopsy stated Floyd's death was due to a drug overdose - that is clearly false.

I am not missing anything about what the autopsy said - which is all I have commented on. how do you know what I am missing off of that? Very clearly, I am right on it, it is in plain English.
re: US Treasury is doubling down on buybacks to try to supress the yield

To be fair, I don't think anyone currently elected to federal office -nor even most of those running for federal office- want to address it as there's no win in doing so and speaking the problem out loud might clue in the general public to the true depth of the structural issues holding up our economy and currency.
yes. What I said came out wrong - I did not mean this Administration alone won't do anything. They are all in on it. Just a few short years ago conservatives, including Bessent, were criticizing Yellen for doing similar things: flooding the market to hold down long-term yields and keep the pre-election housing market/economy moving along.
Essentially that is what is going on here.

I never understood how he was convicted of killing him when the autopsy said his death was due to a drug overdose.
That is because the autopsy did not say he died due to a drug overdose. The autopsy said he died due to "CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST COMPLICATING LAW ENFORCEMENT SUBDUAL, RESTRAINT, AND NECK COMPRESSION"
LINK
Meaning he died of a heart attack caused by law enforcement subduing, restraining, and applying pressure to his neck.
I think where people get bad information/confused is that the defense got the medical examiner to say (I am not sure if it was at trial or somewhere else) that if Floyd were found dead in his home with the drugs in his blood that he had the day he died then it would be [possible, likely??] that drugs killed him. In other words, there were enough drugs in him to cause death, but that is not what actually caused his death.

I'm not sold on Bessent being like that yet, but we'll see what the future brings.
on this issue I strongly suspect this is driven straight from the White House. Trump has just revived his threat to fire Lisa Cook. It is very clear that the White house would rather manipulate and manipulate the market in order to keep interest rates down than to actually address the budget deficit.

What is Abbott's plan here?
Is he just going to wait till last minute to extradite, or is he going to face a certain loss at court?
Whatever it is, it is stupid.

As long as deficits remain higher than giraffe pussy, inflation is going to continue to remain sticky well above the 2% target. As long as it remains sticky, the Fed is going to feel pressured to raise rates. As long as there is a probability of the Fed raising rates, yields are going to stay high. Along with that, as long as deficit spending continues apace, there's going to be less desire to buy US debt without an increase in auction tails which will translate to an eventual growth in yields.
In other words, it's a no-win situation and Jerry's mythological "soft landing" remains just that: mythological.
I agree.
And just to state the obvious - raising rates in the soft labor market we have would exacerbate that employment problem that is beginning to grow.
the state of the labor market suggests actually lowering rates, which of course will just add fuel to the inflation fire.
re: FBI: 2025 had biggest violent-crime drop in 90 years
Posted by JimEverett on 8/18/26 at 1:31 pm to Timeoday
I imagine that liberals will point out that this drop in violent crime has occurred as we exited the pandemic and had the Soros-funded prosecutors in a lot of the big cities.
Is this drop in violent crime across the board, or do some jurisdiction see an uptick - and if so, which ones?

Not really.
A dollar in assets loses its value as inflation rises.

People without assets, cash-poor, and in debt want inflation.

Standard practice. Of course, the lawyers are going to fight everything they can, especially the possibility of a death sentence. Would be malpractice if they did not file something like this.
