Today’s Open Thread

by — ,

Tim Eyman is a horse’s ass. But he’s also the only one of the Republicans running for governor who I had any idea about. Who else is running? Wasn’t there some guy who wasn’t going to enforce gun laws? Is he doing anything recentlOHGOD.

In a long-running lawsuit, a woman accuses police and deputies in Ferry County of failing to properly investigate when she reported a pattern of rape and molestation spanning 12 years of her childhood.

Among the defendants is Loren Culp, who is now the police chief in the town of Republic and a Republican candidate for Washington governor. The lawsuit alleges Culp and two other law enforcement officers intimidated the victim, threatened to charge her with making false claims and failed to report her allegations to child welfare authorities as required by law.

Of course a lawsuit filed isn’t the same as all of the accusations proven. But yikes.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

    RBG tries the free-stuff gambit:

    I therefore dissent from the Court’s judgment, under which, as the Government estimates, between 70,500 and 126,400 women would immediately lose access to no-cost contraceptive services.

    Despite the hundred or so IQ points separating RBG from YLB, it doesn’t sound any more convincing when she tries it. I’m pretty sure Planned Parenthood has no trouble coughing up rubbers and The Pill for 126,400 people who want them. Especially since a third of that count is probably nuns.

    Somebody named Freed and somebody named Culp (SP?) are also running for the Republican slot for governor. It doesn’t matter because Inslee will win easily in November.

    It begins.

    Biden Should Not Debate Trump Unless …

    Biden can’t even record a 30 second internet ad without stumbling. How’s he gonna do in a 90 minute debate without friendlies to keep him from being exposed?

    Trump will end up looking mean if he goes for the kill. As if that would worry him.

    Otherwise, Joe, stay in your basement.

    Yeah, Joe. Do that. Let Kamala do the heavy lifting for the next four months, the same way you’ve let Jill do it for you the past four months.

    3, 4,
    Jealous much?

    Face it. You fucked up. Badly.
    You have only yourselves to blame for the fact that this election has become a referendum on Trump’s presidency. You made it that way. Because you’re emotionally crippled and stupid like that. And so is he.

    Even with all the soaring incompetence and naked corruption, it is still the presidency. The biggest pulpit on earth. All Trump had to do was be nice. Just a little nice. Express some sympathy for the millions of voters grieving for lost loved ones. Express some urgency for their care. He had every opportunity to become a political rock star in the middle of this crisis and cruise to re-election.

    But he simply could not do it. Fatal weakness in a pol. He does not like people. He just needs them to like him. But unlike you, he’s too much of a narcissist and lacks the instinct for self-preservation to hide in the basement reading scans and writing reports. Which he certainly could have done for the last three months and he would have been far better off.

    There will be debates. But now Biden can dictate some of the terms. Not just to Trump2020, but to the media groveling for access in the next administration. Didn’t have to be this way. You made it this way.

    Racism, invented.

    HERMISTON — A racist letter that recent Umatilla County commissioner candidate Jonathan Lopez claimed was left anonymously in his mailbox was written by Lopez himself, according to Lopez and Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston.
    On Monday, July 6, Edmiston said in an email that Lopez had confessed that he wrote the letter.
    …
    The letter, as shown in the photo, stated in part that Lopez and other “Mexicans” were “not welcome here” and that “America is for the God fearing, pro gun, pro life humans who refuse to be controlled by the government.”

    His party isn’t mentioned, but he doesn’t sound like a Republican, does he?

    He’s also a lying POS about his background:

    Edmiston also alleged that HPD has learned that Lopez never served in the U.S. Coast Guard as stated, which would be a violation of the 2013 Stolen Valor Act.

    Lying about his military service? It’s a shock he’s not a Democrat serving in the US Senate by now.

    “Every shred of evidence points to a likely ass kicking”

    Looks like they are planning to burn their own cities as they retreat, too.
    As one put it: “There are two options, you can be on this hell ship or you can be in the water drowning.”

    Not great news for shy Trumpers. They are making a list and checking it twice. Gonna make things that much harder for vulnerable Rapepublicans in Blue State swing districts.

    Question for an attorney other than Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, because Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit is wrong about everything:

    ALITO, J., filed a concurring opinion, in which GORSUCH, J., joined. KAGAN, J., filed an opinion
    concurring in the judgment, in which BREYER, J., joined.

    Is there a difference between the types of opinions authored by Alito and Kagan? The way they are described makes it seem so. Are they not each simply concurring opinions?

    @1

    It’s not free, it’s insurance. There are actual medical reasons some people NEED to be on birth control hormones that aren’t just contraception.

    But if you work for a Conservative Christian, pay your share of the company insurance premiums you’re shit outta luck because we aren’t covering that anymore.

    “Get a new job, losers!” SCOTUS majority.

    • You’re cherry-picking.
    • Tell me PP won’t step up and offer the contraceptives not covered by objecting employers. Of COURSE it will.

    The hard part about birth control is getting poor women to actually use it as a method for avoiding a life of poverty.

    Now that Ghislane is in a libtard controlled city DBJ will occur. The “deep state” isn’t going to allow themselves to be taken down. Too many big “deep state” names are implicated.

    The “deep state” took down Epstein and soon Ghislane Maxwell will be taken down. Maxwell will be “silenced” very soon. Like Epstein, the tapes will be turned off and the video will go fuzzy. We all know the “deep state” control the elections, the monetary supply, covid-19 announcements, and lamestream dummocretin controlled media, and that’s all you need to figger out everything you need to know about November 3rd. Trump wasn’t supposed to win and now they will ensure it doesn’t happen again!

    I like this, actually.

    Durkan, SDOT propose a smaller Transportation Benefit District for this fall’s ballot

    Service hours are being cut way back AND are being maintained primarily to serve the lower-income areas south of DT Seattle.

    Meaning the higher-income Seattleites will still be paying for something that will become much harder for them to use.

    This is good. This is DAMN good. The Seattleites who passed ST-3 will get to feel what it’s like to fund something that they can’t use but others can. Karma’s a bitch, Carl.

    @13

    I’ll cherry pick some more. SCOTUS just gave you a death panel but it’s the CEO and the board.

    SCOTUS just gave you a world where before you accept a job you need to actually read the HMO policy completely. A very likely scenario. You get a job at a mid to large multi state company. You pay your premiums out of your paycheck, go to the doctor sometimes, get married and decide to have a family. Then you have an ectopic pregnancy. There is currently no medical procedure to cure an ectopic pregnancy and letting it go is very, very, very, likely to kill the mother. So you have an emergency surgical abortion, which again is literally the only option available to you unless you want to roll the dice on being the fraction of a percent that survive an ectopic without surgery. Most OB/GYNs won’t even hesitate once ectopic is discovered. The pregnancy is not viable. End of story.

    Weeks later you discover that your employer health plan has left you with 100% liability for the surgery because your company has a religious objection and there is a clause burried deep in the policy that any form of abortion is not covered. And don’t think any insurance company is going to do the right thing and pay the claim….it’s right there in the policy.

    Death panel. Bankruptcy or live.

    Now there may be in some future world a method to remove an ectopic fetus and bring it to term outside a womb but trying to put one back (yes the GOP has written laws to mandate that) is further putting the health of a patient at risk of death. There is no way to ethically research “putting it back.” As of current medical science there is only one treatment for ectopic. None and death or abortion.

    Side note, ectopic is what the Radical Right refers to as ‘late term abortion’ being performed. There is no concern for life in this radical point of view.

    Did herr diktor “earn” its white privilege? Did it hedge against black swans and reject ‘free stuff’ from drumpf and moscow mitch?

    11,
    Comes down to precedent.
    When a full majority joins in a decis then the analysis that is described in that opinion and any specific ruling becomes the binding precedent. If an opinion fails to receive a majority of support from the panel then it cannot be cited as binding precedent.

    Not sure what opinion you are citing or whether/if there are any implications for future cases/precedent. A concurring opinion that arrives at the same conclusion but utilizes a different analysis can be cited but only so long as it does not conflict with an already binding precedent and only as persuasive argument.

    So for example, in a suppression motion a lawyer might cite a concurring opinion from the SCOTUS analyzing 4th amendment protections. But the trial judge would not be obligated to abide by it. On the other hand, so long as the concurring opinion does not conflict with any existing precedent, the trial judge would be entitled to grant the motion to suppress and cite the concurring opinion as persuasive.

    Another bit of Cherry Picking.

    Say you hit 40s, you’ve got a good job. So does the Mrs. You’ve had one, two, three…twelve kids and that’s enough. So you decide to get a Vasectomy so you can keep gettin’ busy without having another child.

    Oh, your employer never told you that sex is only for procreation so nope, not insured. You’ll have to cover it. (See what I did there?)

    22,
    It’s really pathetic.

    And the worst part is, they really are not fucking around. The GOPers really mean to drive shy-Trumpers out into the wilderness forever and poison their wells. I can’t really picture what The Q Clearance Pussy is looking for in a Mystery Date. But I’m pretty sure at this point he’ll never see the like of it in his lifetime.

    If you check out the growing list of Sovereign Citizen Cosplaytriots and Q Clearance Cat Ladies who are winning GOP primaries this year, it’s shaping up to be a full on Trumpalo year and they are only just getting started. Isn’t that Culp guy Carl mentions caught up in the violent separatism/terrorism movement Matt Shea was organizing? That’s who they run for Governor?

    At least Puddy is willing to go all-in. Even if it winds up getting him killed.

    Maybe during a debate Donald’s boyfriend in Korea will come up?

    Washington (CNN)New satellite images obtained by CNN show recent activity at a previously undeclared North Korean facility that researchers suspect is being used to build nuclear warheads.

    The imagery, captured by Planet Labs and analyzed by experts at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, indicates that the facility, which is in the village of Wollo-ri near the country’s capital city of Pyongyang and has not been previously disclosed to the public, is believed to be linked to North Korea’s nuclear program and remains active.

    “It has all the signatures of a North Korean nuclear facility — security perimeter, on-site housing, monuments to unpublicized leadership visits, and an underground facility. And it sits right next to a bottled water factory that has none of those characteristics,” Jeffrey Lewis, a professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, which specializes in open-source intelligence, told CNN prior to publishing his own report.

    @2 “… Inslee will win easily in November,” as he obviously should because (a) he’s done a good job, and (b) all the GOP candidates are nutjobs. But you can’t say “it doesn’t matter,” because obviously it does matter whether our state is run by a responsible adult or a freak.

    P.S., I’m issuing a tourist alert for Ferry County; anyone planning to visit or drive through that area is advised that law enforcement is dodgy there, so if you must travel, leave your wives and daughters at home for their protection.

    Yeah, it’s not as if Thomas Friedman speaks with any moral authority for anyone but himself. I’m not sure he can speak with any practical authority either. Is there anything of any great import in the last twenty years that he hasn’t been completely wrong about? I doubt he can get a lunch order right. Nor is the company he works for any better.

    Biden should hold out for a Lincoln Project Never Trumper on the debate panel. I vote Steve Schmidt, but I’d settle for Rick Wilson.

    @7 That’s all the “proof” Doctor Dumbfuck needs that there’s no racism in America, it’s all made up, because he’s a dumbfuck.

    Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think he’s a racist. Nothing is intentional on his part. It’s that he’s too stupid to be racist. He can’t figure out how to be racist. That explains why his race-baiting comments are so lame.

Of course Joe BiteME! uses tax loopholes and it’s A-OK!!!! Friedman wants fact checking by various organizations? HAHAHAHAHAHA! They are almost totally funded by left wrong or “deep state” institutions employing left wrong libtard dummocretins who used to work at lamestream dummocretin networks.

    What about BiteME! January 2018 Ukraine brag at the press club? foreign dealings? What could BiteME! be hiding about his and his son’s China dealings? Why not have all their records or transcripts while in office, all disclosed for the public to see before the debates? What other strong-arm tactics did Obummer-BiteME! used on other countries?

    Lastly, we viewed last week claim he would put up his cognitive skillset against Trump. Well what were the results BiteME?

    Ooooh, you got me there. Great comeback. Another month of blaming Fauci and 1/3 of all US Households will start getting pre-foreclosure notices and evictions at the beginning of August or September.

    Which is awfully close to November.

    But Donald assured us it was a hoax. Florida kept the beaches open. Texas brought the bowling back. The MegaChurches had worship AND got PPP funds in the billions of dollars.

    Part of the solution. Don’t ever work for a religious organization or minded company. And don’t ever donate to one. Nor should you ever donate to any organization that is affiliated with a church or religious institution, while specifically telling them that you don’t donate to places that discriminate and if they want your donation then tell them they have to publicly state that they are against religious organizations that are discriminatory.

This is a free country and people are free to make decisions based on their conscience. Just because you don’t have a conscience doesn’t mean you can attack and denigrate someone whom has one! Many people BELIEVE in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the inspired word of God AKA The Bible. Their beliefs are just as important as your jackASSed ones per the US Constitution. Not everyone believes in donkoinfanticide. You should ask the crazed databaze purveyor for a replay on the PuddyCalculation on how the 1973 abortion decision cost Al Gorebasm the 2000 erection! Just in Florida alone he would have won in a landslide with all those extra voters dead baby fetuses .

    Another month of blaming Fauci

    Well BeerPong, your kind told the world that Trump wasn’t listening to science. Then when Birx and Fauci told everyone they told Trump to shut it down he did. Then when Trump disagreed with Fauci ABC News whitey house woman accused Fauci of being cowed by Trump. Fauci slapped her back big time. Fauci lately to the NFL they should not restart. Dr. Paul asked Fauci how was he an expert there? Fauci replied he wasn’t a football expert.

    So people listened to Fauci and they lost their income. Now you actually think people with brains will blame their foreclosures on Trump? If they do then they really are brainless bcause you can’t fault Trump for not listening to the scientists. He did and Fauci was the ring leader BeerPong! Hence you prove once again you are brainless. Butt, then again, we all knew this when you predicted Trump would only get 252 electoral votes! You were only off by 54. That’s a really big percentage even being a dummocretin!

Why didn’t it just go away in April and May? Why are Texas and Florida leading new cases daily? How did it magically get to the states that didn’t really do anything like Tennessee and Alabama? How did we go from fifteen to three million? Why doesn’t the president wear a mask?”

    Of course BeenPong will blame this on Trump too.

    And, of course, BeerPong will skip over this footnote in history!

    “On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%. In another article in the Journal, Guan et al. report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.“

Thanks Demorats For Nominating A Candidate Too Stupid To Debate, Then Underscoring With Nitwit Excuses.
    ———————
    As the Trump campaign has requested the addition of another presidential debate, members of the media are urging former Vice President Joe Biden and his campaign to limit them.
    Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty suggests “rethinking” the debates, urging organizers to limit their audiences “or even do away with them entirely.”
    Thomas Friedman of the New York Times has also called for Biden to skip the debates unless Trump releases his tax returns and agrees to a fact-checking team at the debates. “I worry about Joe Biden debating Donald Trump,” Friedman says, quickly clarifying that he fears Trump would have “unfair advantages” if he doesn’t meet these demands.
    Byron York of the Washington Examiner called Friedman’s article “an early public statement of fear Biden will not do well in debate,” and a “suggestion of excuse for Biden to cancel while still blaming Trump.”

    Here’s the thing the right doesn’t get. It’s not about me. It’s about listening to others and having, dare I say Christian, empathy.

    Robert Byrd does not offend me personally. I think he did enough to make amends. But if the Black Community feels he needs to go I won’t stand in the way. And I’m with them in the fight.

    People who took up arms and tried to kill their fellow U.S. Army offends me but maybe not in the same alway it does the black community. I’m with them in the fight.

    What I don’t give a rip about is a poseur conservative who argues that the Redskins is fine, as you have done, that people who want the confederate flag removed are just a left wing mob, as you have done, put forth a ‘proud history’ argument for venerating men like Junipero Sera and not talking honestly about slavery building the United States into a power uncompensated, the slave owning founding fathers and dismissing the idea of reparations as ‘ridiculous’ suddenly whatabouting Robert Byrd.

    You’re not a good faith actor with this complaint. If the call for Byrd rises up among people who’ve been fighting the battle for generations I’m there for them. People like who who reject the movement entirely but call for Robert Byrd coming down…don’t give a fuck. You aren’t saying it to heal you’re saying it to score a cheap and obviously weak point.

    Your motive is not pure and you know it. Sleep tight.L, Sugar. If you’re right God is watching and knows you’re lying about this concern for Byrd.

    You just don’t get it AND you NEVER will get it. The cancel culture SELECTIVELY chooses to whom it victimizes and attacks and to whom it allows to skate away. Just because you, full of baloney here each day, don’t care about Robert Byrd; you are not the cancel culture voice. Hence, you really don’t count! I am not part of the cancel culture. NEVER were and NEVER will be. This is why you will NEVER comprehend how we look at fools such as yourself and your cancel culture because being a libtard is really a mental disorder.

    Puddy identifies the hypocrisy of libtards and you can’t deal with it so you claim Puddy has hypocrisy by your puny examples. There is no conflict with Puddy. Puddy been very consistent over the many years here. All Puddy has done was to show how your side is consistently wrong almost all the time! Here is another example to help your mental acuity! See if you figger it out!

    Remember you are the one who told the WORLD Ghislane can’t be tried on a conspiracy charge because Congress willingly removed the SoL for child sex crimes.

    FTFY again! No idioto cabron. The letter penned by 150 libtards did. It demonstrates the hypocrisy of the libtard mentality demonstrated here every day!

    Tucker Carlson is correct again. Leftist dummocretin always accuse you of what you do BIG TIME!

    “While we have come to expect this on the radical right, censoriousness is also spreading more widely in our culture: an intolerance of opposing views, a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty.”

    Notice they, the supporters of snowflakeness, give no examples of censoriousness from we whom think right. We whom think right love the 1st Amendment. We whom think right love the 2nd Amendment. We even stand up for it when you libtards yell fire in a theater. Not when you take guns and kill people in theaters.

    It’s the libtard dummocretin who perpetuate snowflakeness, safe spaces, reverse segregation, etc. and try to claim the right invented them. HAHAHAHAHA! Your radical wokeness is now bothering the lamestream dummocretin. Your kind attacked one of your heroes on assesHorse, Noam Chomsky, another Rules For Radicals guy. He’s been quoted many times on this blog! But now at 92 he’s old and used up because he has stood up to the cancel culture! And you wonder why we LOL y’all for the positions put forth from your hands on assesHorse. Search the crazed databaze! Oh wait, that’s only to attack right minded people! Puddy don’t need a mental crutch to remember all the Noam Chomsky threads!

    The publication of the letter comes after Rowling was recently criticised for a series of social media posts and an essay that some described as “transphobic”.

    The Harry Potter author has also faced a recent backlash for comparing transgender hormone replacement to gay conversion therapy.

    Young girls across America wonder how the dummocretin support “girls” in men’s bodies, competing in women’s sports. When someone questions it y’all go nutzo and wanna cancel them. Free speech interferes with “safe zones” LA LALA LALA LALA your kind say!

    Posobiec is a straight anti-Semite.
    OANN supports him in that.
    And now I guess one of our Trolls4Trump supports that too.
    Pretty fucking sad.

    But Posobiec has now been outed as the alt-right media engage is a futile and dishonest effort to rehabilitate him through a massive shit storm of whaddaboutism.

    Don’t know much about Posobiec except that he was the author of the Pizzagate conspiracy fable that ultimately fed into the Qanon conspiracy, and that he started out as a Shitlord during Gamergate posting LOL memes mocking rape and sexual mutilation. He seems to have attempted some kind of giant pivot toward respectability in order to land better paying regular employment. But as far as I can see all he’s managed to do is largely discredit all the klownsurvaturd dupes who believed it.

    This too is one of the problems with Teh Orange Event Horizon. By seeking common cause with this radical, violent, racist alt-right element as Bannon and Lewandoski recommended, Trump has brought them into the Rapepublican fold. These fringe characters, many of whom began their online careers while still in their teens, are freighted with a ton of racist, sexist, authoritarian white supremacist baggage. It doesn’t do to simply “dabble” in “a little” Nazism. It’s like a very sticky smelly residue that can’t be washed off and spreads all over whatever it touches.

    Now that it is part of the Rapepublican brand, Trolls4Trump will have no other choice but to defend it somehow.
    In this case, apparently by arguing that there is something “unfair” about pointing it out when someone calls for the extermination of Jews.

    Yeah. Probably not helping.

    Ruling: President is NOT immune from state criminal GJ subpoena. But… a balancing test is prescribed.

    So back to the lower courts for perhaps years (months!) of litigating the pleading with respect to this new test sprinkled with lots of discretion. And keep in mind that as GJ product there was never any clear path toward publication of Mazars’ records in the first place.

    For people hoping SCOTUS would expose Trump Org financial impropriety to public scrutiny in time for the election, a battle that was never going to be won in the first place.
    For people authoritarians hoping SCOTUS was going to grant the office sweeping immunity from state criminal investigation a clear loss.

    Olympia City Council amends rule against chemical munitions to combat property damage

    Olympia Police officers are once again able to use chemical munitions, including tear gas and other chemical arms, to combat people causing property damage or committing other forms of criminal mischief.

    The Olympia City Council voted Tuesday night to add an exception for criminal mischief to the resolution it adopted in June banning the use of chemical munitions for the purposes of crowd control during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

    A recent spate of late-night vandalism by small groups that have caused significant damage to a number of businesses and city buildings in downtown Olympia prompted the council to clarify the intent of its actions in June.

    If applied to the Seattle protests, the freeway closures would have become illegal when “Fuck the po-lice!” chants stopped and dancing the Cupid Shuffle commenced.

    “The real purpose I think in clarifying the resolution was to clarify that the moratorium on using less-than-lethal agents such as tear gas and pepper spray, that moratorium is to protect persons engaged in lawful First Amendment activities, but not meant to protect people engaged in criminal activity.”

    Where do you see the difference in the two rulings headed? One appears settled, the Grand jury in SDNY gets the records they’ve subpoenaed and Donald’s legal team is out of options there.

    In the other, send back to lower court to reconsider separation of powers. They are not necessarily connected.

    It’s two rulings so in one it appears an active criminal investigation is getting the records while the other punts on deciding if Congress has unlimited power of subpoenas.

    From a layman’s standpoint it would seem that nothing is stopping SDNY now from examining the records, presenting to Grand Jury and issuing indictments if warranted.

    The first ruling is inline with Jones v. Clinton that a sitting president does not receive blanket protection from crimes or investigations of matters prior to election to the office.

    98,
    So in Vance SCOTUS affirms that the state GJ can subpoena the Mazars tax records. But that doesn’t make them public. That just give the GJ access to them in considering a criminal indictment in state court. Something Vance may be eager to do before November. But even that may not make the records public right away.

    This at least is helpful in that it provide the binding precedent that was needed on a couple of counts. 9-0 on the question of absolute immunity. Now all lower trial courts may waive off such Executive branch claims once and for all. Set along side Jones it restores the principle of federalism to the person of the President. So maybe next time, GOP works a little harder to avoid nominating a bloviating con artist.

    And in the combined cases, a decision that will probably stretch out to when Trump leaves office. Again, an at least useful, if perhaps cumbersome precedent from a 7-2 vote, that the “demonstrably critical” standard argued by the Executive branch is idiotic bullshit. And a “legislative purpose” test is created to guide the lower courts.

    Keep in mind that at this point nothing stops either DB or Mazars from simply complying with the subpoena.

    And I’d offer low odds that Vance is ready to proceed with a criminal indictment before November.

    It is not for me to say what the BLM movement is about. Nor what this moment in society triggered by the sport-murder of George Floyd is all about either. But I suspect that a big part of it is personified in this morning rage-tweet from Trump.

    For as far back as the beginnings of the modern civil rights movement in the post WWII neo-liberal prosperity, America has found itself on two entirely separate legal and social tracks defined by wealth, class, often gender, and always race.

    Perhaps if you can imagine Breonna Taylor’s family pleading “prosecutorial misconduct” at the same time you imagine an erroneous no-knock felony drug warrant being served at gunpoint on any member of the Trump family then I suppose BLM would just seem to be all about statues.

    But otherwise you are probably lying, at least to yourself.

    I honestly think the McGirt decision is the most interesting one today and perhaps this whole season. It’s the one I’ll try and catch up on over the weekend if I need help falling asleep. Sounds “radical” in a way I suspect it may not be. Undoubtedly very technical. Probably way beyond my pay grade.

  122. 122

    @121 Well, of course, the “interesting” question is whether the McGirt ruling has ramifications for tribal authority beyond who can prosecute Native Americans for crimes committed within SCOTUS’ expanded map of Oklahoma’s “Indian country.”

    The decision, in essence, enlarges the boundaries of what had previously been recognized by Oklahoma state authorities as “Indian country.” The reason for this is SCOTUS says the treaties mean what they say.

    For readers unfamiliar with how criminal jurisdiction works in “Indian country,” this is federal land, and the federal government — not the state — prosecutes crimes committed there, except Congress in many cases has delegated jurisdiction over minor offenses by tribal members to tribal authorities.

    There may be some relatively minor exceptions to this, created by treaties, federal statutes, and/or intergovernmental agreements. For example, a white person living on tribal land with sufficient ties to the tribe might be subject to tribal court jurisdiction for domestic abuse, depending on the tribe and reservation.

    And while tribal police can’t write tribal court summonses to non-tribal drivers, if they’re cross-deputized by local sheriffs, as is often the case, they can enforce state traffic laws under state authority against white assholes who think they can drive however they like on the rez. So, just because a tribal cop pulls you over, don’t think he can’t cite you or arrest your sassy white, black, brown, or Asian ass, because chances are he’s also a county deputy sheriff.

    122,
    Thanks for that.
    I’m particularly interested in how negotiations between these tribal governments and the state may now be playing out if they agree to move forward toward a statutory resolution. Seems this would give the tribal governments the stronger hand in negotiating concessions from the state in exchange for waiving jurisdiction. As recently as last fall I believe the state was seeking to increase its take of tribal gaming proceeds.

  125. 125

    @122 Tribes don’t have to negotiate shit with states. Historically, state governments have tended to be hostile to tribal interests, and the federal government has acted as the tribes’ protectors, although it didn’t feel very much like protection to the Native Americans when the federal government was trying to assimilate them by terminating their reservations, kidnapping their children and shipping them to boarding schools where they were whipped for speaking their own language, etc. Despite that sordid history, it’s useful to look at tribes as federal protectorates, for both legal and practical purposes, and for the most part they can tell state authorities to go fuck themselves on things like water rights (i.e., the Winters doctrine), fishing rights (the Boldt decision), and so on. They don’t have to negotiate any of that with the states; they simply ask federal courts to enforce their tribal rights. In some cases, tribes may find it convenient to negotiate cooperative agreements with state and local authorities and participate in joint projects like fish restoration efforts, etc., but that’s at the tribes’ discretion. If they don’t like what a state offers them, they can tell the state authorities to go suck eggs, and the federal courts will back them up. That’s exactly what we saw happen today in the McGirt case.

  127. 127

    This brings up the even more fascinating topic of what “sovereignty” is. It’s exerting control and having the means — usually an army — to make it stick.

    The reason self-declared “sovereign citizens” aren’t sovereign states is because they’re outgunned by the cops. The reason Native American tribes aren’t truly sovereign states (they can’t, for example, enter into treaties with Russia or China to allow those countries to build military bases on their reservations) is the federal government can assert its authority over “Indian country” any time, and any way, it likes. What the tribes have is appearances and attributes of sovereignty given to them by Congress, but it’s less than actual sovereignty.

    The Bundy ranch didn’t become a sovereignty entity just because the feds chose forbearance over blowing the shit out of their little makeshift militia.

    China claims Tibet as its sovereign territory, and it is, because nobody is prepared to take it away from them. China also claims sovereignty over the South China Sea, but it isn’t, because the rest of the world isn’t willing to give it to them, although it may become Chinese sovereign territory someday (like Lake Michigan is) if we lose a war over navigation rights or some coward like Trump cedes it to them.

    In the United States, the federal government is the sovereign and nobody else is, and certainly not county sheriffs as some alt-right nuts claim. They’d see how long that lasted if the U.S. military showed up to enforce a federal court order.

    So, strictly speaking, sovereignty is what you can take and defend possession of, and autonomy is what you can give to people and entities under your sovereign control. Autonomy can be taken away by the sovereign (see, e.g., Hong Kong); sovereignty generally has to be displaced or destroyed by greater force (see, e.g., the Russian seizure of Crimea). In sum, sovereignty generally comes down to ability to exert control through threat or use of force.

  128. 128

    The Chinese Communist Party wants to be the Big Dick in Asia. They want to annex Indochina, the Korean Peninsula and the Phillipines for starters. They will seize to oil producing regions of Indonesia after that.

    It will be a while, but eventually the Chinese Communists will go after India and Pakistan as they cruise into overtaking the Persian Gulf’s oil producing areas.

    Far, far out on the horizon will be their quest to conquer Russia for whatever minerals and commodities they can get. The Chinese Communist Party in not a very nice group of people.

  131. 131

    @130 – I think it would be a good idea to demilitarize police departments. The (failed) War on Drugs has led police forces arming themselves like our military forces. Now a policeman walks around looking like an infantryman, armed to the teeth with all kinds of nasty weapons. Also, the,police themselves have started acting as if they were the conquering army in some remote country, suspicious of the locals and not really being policemen but an occupying force.

    If all this defund-the-police business leads to simply demilitarizing the police, then something good will come from it.

  132. 132

    131,
    Now that you wrote it down and can look at it, probably feels kinda weird, doesn’t it?

    Give yourself some time to sit with it. You may even come around. A good way to make a start on that would be to decide not to vote for Trump again. Lots of other people in your situation have made the same decision for very similar reasons. They are good, solid reasons.

    Just finished reading the McGirt decision. Here: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/591/18-9526/

    Doesn’t really go into much detail about the long sordid history of screwing over the Creek tribe, only alludes to it. What makes this case especially interesting is that both the state and the solicitor general (i.e., the Trump administration) opposed recognizing that most of eastern Oklahoma is still an Indian reservation, and Gorsuch methodically shot down each and every one of their arguments in a clearly written and well reasoned opinion.

  137. 137

    136,
    I’m guessing that most of the arguments offered by the state were along the lines of “Because… tradition” and perhaps a smattering of “Oh… THAT treaty. Um, we broke it?”.

  138. 138

    @137 Yep, and it’s fun reading as Gorsuch disassembles each and every one of the state’s arguments as if they were tissue paper. He’s not gentle with them. Makes you wonder if he’s got some red man blood, but I didn’t find any. He did grow up in Colorado. Maybe his law clerk?
