Just throwing out there that the president blatantly abused his powers and commuted Roger Stone's sentence and it's just, kinda, there. Nobody is even bothering to be shocked by it. Just another day in the world no big deal. President corrupt, so what?

I don't see it as an abuse of power. I see it as wrong, however the constitution grants absolute pardon power to the president. He's not doing anything outside of his authority. If we don't want the president pardoning his buddies, we have to amend the constitution or remove the president.

This got me howling

Portland Place couple who confronted protesters have a long history of not backing down

https://www.stltoday.com/news/local...5dd287.amp.html

They've got a long history of being vexatious litigants, abusing the legal system, and just being all around horrible people.

some choice bits, but the whole thing is gold.

quote:

In March 2013, in Phelps County, Mark McCloskey sued his father and his father’s trust over the gift. The birthday card and earth, he claimed, were sufficient title because they met the legal definition of “livery of seisin,” a ceremony performed in medieval England for the conveyance of land.

The birthday card in question? It's from his 20th. In 1976.

quote:

In 2013, he destroyed bee hives placed just outside of the mansion’s northern wall by the neighboring Jewish Central Reform Congregation and left a note saying he did it, and if the mess wasn’t cleaned up quickly he would seek a restraining order and attorneys fees. The congregation had planned to harvest the honey and pick apples from trees on its property for Rosh Hashanah.

quote:

The McCloskeys have filed at least two “quiet title” suits asserting squatter’s rights on land they’ve occupied openly and hostilely — their terms — and claimed as their own. In an ongoing suit against Portland Place trustees in 2017, the McCloskeys say they are entitled to a 1,143-square-foot triangle of lawn in front of property that is set aside as common ground in the neighborhood’s indenture.

It was that patch of green protesters saw when they filed through the gate. Mark McCloskey said in an affidavit that he has defended the patch before by pointing a gun at a neighbor who had tried to cut through it.

They're also scummy landlords.

quote:

The second tenant signed a lease for $950 per month last November, and failed to pay rent in April and May. The McCloskeys filed an eviction suit on May 12 and Mark McCloskey filed an affidavit stating that he was not barred by federal law from evicting someone during the COVID-19 pandemic because the unit was not part of a federal housing rental program.

This man went to law school to be a bully and not get punched.

The president also has the legal authority to publicly disclose every HUMINT source but that doesn't make it right.
Being legal doesn't stop it from being an abuse of power. Are you a Republican Senator? Because that was their argument against removing him from office.

The pardon power really is explicitly made for the president to use it for political and personal advantage though

Like if you’re looking for any other interpretation you have to go back through a couple centuries of precedent

He was impeached for holding up duly authorized congressional aid to an ally nation for personal political gain. That is something he had the power to do but he did not have the authority. He abused his power to do something he shouldn't.

His pardon power, on the other hand, is absolute. There are no limits. He could pardon every person in prison right now and it would not be an abuse of that power. Bill Clinton pardoned friends as well (or his brother I can't recall) and it wasn't an abuse of power.

The only limits on the president's pardon power are that he cannot pardon state crimes and the pardoned party has to accept the pardon. Beyond that, there is no limit.


This isn't about agreeing with whether something is right or wrong. It's a matter of scope of authority.

Holy poo poo! I ran across XOXOhth when I was looking at law schools about 10 years ago. It became a hate-read of mine for a hot minute. It was full of prestige/status obsessed upper middle class kids who were bitter that their ticket to an upper class NYC lifestyle was being taken from them as the bottom fell out of the legal market. It did a lot to dissuade me from going into a bunch of debt to attend a big name law school (or law school at all, really).

Even after all these years, I knew what it was before the article said it. It was that distinctive of a toxic cesspool. Imagine ending up on the news for posting there lmao

Regarding the DisneyWorld opening, I dunno how they expect that to go even under ideal conditions and not when Florida is in peak virus time. Especially with people mobbing together like in those photos.

I had thought Disney was an unstoppable juggernaut but in retrospect that was dependent on the regular billion dollar movies and packed parks each day. I know it’s terrible for the tens of thousands of parks employees but rushing to reopen so soon is a bad idea.

When I had COVID symptoms I never had a sore throat, but an itchy one. I also had a chest pain/soreness feeling when breathing as if there was a brick on my lungs. Sounds like they just got some standard virus like the cruise ship stuff.
