Federal employees will get back pay if that provision is in a bill that Congress will eventually pass. It’s not a guarantee, as you stated.

Monty Python is technically a proper name, but they went with the snake, because they wanted a last name that “sounded slippery.”

“Monty” may or may not be a reference to Field Marshal Montgomery, from world wars 1 and 2.

The programming language is named after the comedy troupe, not the snake.

It is likely that any tests will be conducted in enclosed underground silos in Nevada. The site to do that has been maintained at some amount of readiness since the last test in 1992.

Nixon was at 31% when he resigned. Dubya also hit the low thirties, but he didn’t resign.

He is described as holding “tactical command” of the Chicago Midway Blitz operation.

Better pack a toothbrush.

No, it’s clearly the fault of the guy that got shot. That’s why he’s been criminally charged.

(/s but not on the criminal charges. Those are real.)

There’s a lot of complete trash. Multiple reskins of the same puzzle game with randomly generated names. Bare bones minesweeper clone written entirely by AI, and advertised as such. That sort of thing.

He has a drug conviction from way back that he was not exonerated of, unlike the murder. The drug charge by itself is a legal ground for deportation.

These emergency motions go to a single justice first. That justice then forwards the matter to the full court (usually).

In this case, Amy Coney Barrett ordered a quick opposition response to the government’s motion, but she didn’t put down an administrative stay right away, like in some of these other cases. This means that the NG deployment is still blocked while ACB collects the paperwork and presents it to the full court.

I think it’s more likely they struggled really hard to find any flattering angle, and this is the best they came up with.

UPDATE: As the deadline expired today, the prosecution dropped this motion which discloses that they searched an attorney’s phone with a warrant.

Because the stuff on this phone is a landmine of attorney-client privilege, they contend, there must be a complicated and lengthy clean room-style process to sort the privileged stuff from non-privileged.

Comey disagrees and wants to challenge the search warrant first.

I strongly suspect they didn’t actually turn over much of anything today, but we shall see.

In many jurisdictions, courts will allow prosecutors to “remedy” slipups to some degree by delaying the trial date, allowing the defense the same time they would have had to prepare, or at least an adequate time.

It definitely seems like that is not going to happen in this district.

There’s a bunch of complicated case law about missed disclosures and late disclosures.

I care about the guy now. Because I care about the rule of law. I want real trials in my country, where defendants confront the evidence against them fairly. Not show trials and Col. Cathcart “we can’t tell you who Person 3 is” bullshit.

And the finder window layout with the successive columns of listings. I remember that on NeXT workstations in 1993. That’s around the first time I visited a world wide website.

You missed “CM,” which was common in copyright statements in the 20th century.

The Virginia Senate is getting on about states’ rights again. They issued UVA an ultimatum: if UVA accepts the Trump compact, they lose all state funding.

“White House” gave the big rant, not Trump. I wonder what Trump’s doing that could possibly be more important than this? My money’s on illness.

Almost certainly not, for a couple of reasons:

1. This is a civil case. Can’t directly arrest someone within a civil case.

2. To charge criminal contempt, the judge has to refer the case to the prosecutor. But oh my! Look who the prosecutor is (Pam Bondi). Do you expect those dipshits to actually prosecute contempt on this?

There’s a pathway to civil contempt in this case, to remedy ongoing non compliance. Civil contempt can send people to jail until they choose to comply, but there are no criminal charges. No charges = no prosecutor.

However, I don’t expect open or flagrant violations, just some busted deadlines getting the guys out of state. I also expect an immediate appeal and at least 50-50 odds of an emergency stay is this order from the appeals court.
