Oh come on guys, if there is one thing we know about the douche bag in chief, its the size of his ego. He wants to be the king. Its all he wants! He craves an elevated legacy.
Rocky, I stood up for you with RJ. I may disagree with you alot, mostly because you are wrong alot, but sometimes its just to f with you. Might be cost prohibitive. If they are really that “very reputable” it will be very cost prohibitive to say the very least. Trust me, I know what those type of billings rate are…its my business.
I wonder why no one used those arguments in a court of law with success. I wonder why trumpo couldn’t write those reasons into a brief in support of his executive order with any success. I don’t think you understand what the word indisputably means.
I’ll take that bet Rocky. DOJ just lost the case this morning. If you can’t win on a TRO your case is toast.
I am not here to defend Roberts. I disagree with trump’s trying to use DACA as weapon… wrong weapon in my opinion. immigration reform is a bi-partisan clusterhoozle and both sides are to blame and I blame both sides. Trump’s inability to lead his own party forward on the issue is curious.
Robert’s just said do a better job Mr. President. I am sure he has a few competent people left over there that write a few more coherent sentences and move forward with it again. But, when you do a crappy job the first time, sometimes you end up stuck and out of time…ask Jimmy Carter how that felt.
Frankly, it seems to me that trumpo’s team should have been able to anticipate this loss and already had a far better written set of explanations tee’d up and ready to rock today. Why the wait?
Rocky I don’t think that is what Robert’s wants at all. Not at all. What you just said is that Trump was/is using DACA as a weapon in negotiations. So I think you can clearly see why that isn’t a very good reason to eliminate an otherwise valid program that was validly created by the prior president (understanding that many folks did not agree with that program or the manner in which it was created, but frankly that water is down the river now). That reason, as you articulate it, doesn’t pass legal muster under the Administrative whatever act.
What Roberts said, its not a particularly mucky opinion, is “Mr. President, with all due respect, do a better a job of articulating why this needs to happen.” Not the first time a court has told this president to take a bit more time and do a better job. You can hate the ruling, you can hate the rule itself, but if the shoe were on the other foot, you’d love the rule. And that shoe may change feet again in November. Same type of thing as the poor dems are reaping now with the Harry REid rule in the Senate.
its called the Administrative Procedures Act and basically the court ruled that trump failed to articulate reasonable and non-pretextual (read b.s. reasons) reasons for the program’s elimination. The Act is in place to make presidents do their job in a reasonable and professional manner and not just eliminate programs or other laws with the swipe of a hand. Which is what trump tried to do.
Its very real. Prices going up in Napa and Sonoma as we speak. In my neighborhood 3 houses sold in the last 10 days, they sat for a while, but it was like the money tree shook loose 30 days ago.
I have been to Calexico and Brawley, the weather is very different between them. But I’ll take Ocatillo Wells any day. actually, really like the town of Tecate.
Doc no question they will come for the lawyers before they come for the retired dentists. I understand that part. The good news is that I am much quicker than most lawyers.
I have another thought about Seattle’s whatever it is, democracy in practice…the grand experiment of Jefferson and Adams, Madison and Hamilton… continues. Of course for all of Jefferson’s significant issues, the man at heart was a revolution who wrote eloquently of overthrowing the government on a regular basis.
as the saying goes, “experiments happen.” See Thomas Edison.
Rocky, tell me more about how great the country was back in the 30’s when you were growing up? OK, no autonomous collectives in a tiny area of a city you don’t live in anyway on the other side of the country from you, I understand that.
