It gets crazier when you involve Hillary Clinton trying to promise Obama a SCOTUS appointment in return for ensuring she isn't indicted... granted Obama doesn't have any love or trust for the Clintons... so who knows?
Court said you couldn't do that for shorter recesses, namely three or fewer days.
Yup, out of whole cloth a 10 day window was created for intra-session recesses, above which such nominations are apparently kosher... however inter-session recesses I believe are another matter.
While the US Senate can be called the currently longest continuously in operation legislative body in history... even they have official recesses which could still allow a recess appointment.
Oh? I don't believe that the Judiciary Act of 1869 cites a specific penalty with not having 9 butts in the ordained 9 seats of the supreme court, so it is quite possible that current and future administrations could opt to reduce the court to a smaller size through attrition and simply refuse to nominate replacements.
I'm sorry to tell you, your parents are illiberal-progressives... and it's days like this we are reminded what kind of contemptible people they really are.
I hope you've found independence apart from them and their poison.
Why are all liberals so insistent on appointing a new justice before obama is gone? Why ignore the MAJORITY in the senate, and deprive all citizens the ability to have some influence and decide in November, if liberals are so confident theyll win?
What you call liberals, or really illiberal-progressives only support democracy and the right of citizens self-determination with regards to government is when things come out in their favor... otherwise they are quick to head to court and demand that a judge fix things the way they want.
Heads they win, tails we lose.
Scalia was part of the small band of people in power who respected the system and sought to uphold it... RIP.
Perhaps the biggest "fuck you" Obama could give to the GOP (if McConnell lets this go until the July recess) is to put himself on the bench via recess appointment and resign the Presidency in the same executive order.
Resigning and having newly sworn in President Biden's first official act is the recess appointment of Obama a far more likely order of events... doubly so when Joe is going to need some good PR when he puts his foot back into the presidential race after Hillary is indicted/loses in order to try to save the party and country from Sanders.
Except for recess appointments... something this President has abused to the point of having a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling against some of his more egregious interpretations of the constitution with regards to the subject... though that ruling did not tie his hands enough I fear.
45acp dates back to 1904, the M1911 only reached production in 1911. Thanks for trying to look up dates though, but not the meaning of BHP (aka Browning Hi-Power), or when it went into service... 1935 > 1911.
When already prosecuting someone they aren't fond of, it's kind of hard to have a bunch of extra add-on charges when you don't have laws like this on the books.
Which is an interesting aspect of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
While not a fan of the man, I can at least cite specific things he's said/done that I don't like, rather than just proclaim that we all know how horrible he is and what he does.
Except that only the ATC system really 'needs' this information, you and I do not (granted it is still fun to use/see)... which makes the lack of protection of the data even more surprising.
Given the decade+ rollout that the US based system is to take, it's pretty unlikely that midway through they will turn around and say "on second thought, you need to upgrade to this even newer standard in order to be compliant"
There are of course other ways to get much of this data. A quick visit to http://www.liveatc.net/ allows you to listen to live ATC communications and with some basic speech to text you can get flight numbers that may not show up in the normal data feeds.
If you can't pay your court fines, then you're supposed to be in jail in the first place.
So a sort of... debtors prison where the in debt person who cannot pay on the outside, is sure to find a way to earn enough while in jail to pay the fines... while also possibly costing the municipality even more to house & feed them.
You can't go from 6 decades of isolation to thinking US style Capitalism isn't going to fuck up the place if you try to do it overnight.
Which is why US style capitalism won't be happening down there anytime soon, the state was and is in charge of any such businesses and the price of doing business there will be greasing the palms of the leaders.
I guess trying to associate those who don't accept the concept (or claimed extent) of man made global warming with the holocaust with the term 'deniers' wasn't working... a new term has been coined.
Granted, this is from the same group who has had a hard time naming the issue, going from global cooling, to global warming, anthropomorphic global warming, to climate change, to climate weirding and seemingly back to climate change.
Rather than arguments as to what we think the weather will be today, tomorrow or in the following decades... I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what the temperature is supposed to be.
Were you to have a copy of the plans for conducting an actual terrorist attack that happened, you had the copy before the attacks happened, and that document had limited circulation of say 50 people or so - that'd be pretty damning evidence.
"Sure I knew Ahmad, good guy, our families hung out. I remember him talking about these things but never thought him serious, I thought it was all just a joke. When it finally happened I was scared that I would get blamed so didn't tell anyone."
What are you going to charge with now? Remember that the burden of proof falls on the prosecution.
Nice conclusion jumping you've got there, you missed something though...
Possession of such a document is little different than having a digital or dead tree version of the Anarchist Cookbook (the buyers of which I'm sure Amazon could be compelled to release to investigators).
It would simply mean that such owners might get a second or third look to see if they are up to anything else that seems fishy, maybe even get a few extra screenings at the airport and digital checks to see if you've been chatting with any suspected/known terrorists... if so, then things could difficult for you.
I'm sure the RIAA/MPAA would also like the tech companies to use such an ability for themselves, do a search for all copies Let_It_Go.mp3 with a given hash that was known to have been on a file sharing site and send them each bills... however neither means you are criminally or civilly liable.
Easy. I reflash it with the original firmware image before use, or better yet, something superior.
Unless you use a JTAG to force a flash, you are trusting the honesty/reliability of the existing software to actually update the chip, which is the equivalent of trusting that user mode AV can assure you if a machine is clean or not.
At DEFCON this year there was a demonstration of infecting the LTE modem in a tablet (OS independent) which not only would persist OS wipes, but even attempted firmware updates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
A long increasing problem in computing is that you don't just have a single computer, but a box full of computers, many of which run it's own software stack that most of us aren't qualified to try to validate... and it's only getting worse.
While you hopefully won't use one sent by a known enemy (thanks for spoiling the surprise Greeks!), how do you ensure that a unit you picked up used on eBay or Craigslist wasn't backdoored?
Opt only to buy retail or online from major vendor? Same issue. How do you know someone hasn't purchased the device, tampered with it, repackaged it with some shrinkwrap then returned it?.. Or worse, intercepted the shipment prior to you getting it?

Not just republicans, but anyone right leaning as well... the de-verifying of Milo Yiannopoulos is one great example of this.

ADS-B is the 'new' standard which is in the process of being rolled out... so that's not too likely.

How fortunate for these candidates opponents who will soon be receiving contributions in response.

Some services already do that to try to uphold their terms of service: http://venturebeat.com/2012/08...
