  • I know that the courts are still ruling against Trump and the Republicans fairly regularly, but then I hear about situations where they’re simply ignoring the courts’ rulings and little seems to actually happen as a result.

    There has to be a mechanism of enforcement for an order to having meaning. For non-lawyer disobeyers, normally what a judge would do is hold someone in contempt and have federal marshals or sheriffs arrest the person. In this situation, no federal judge is going to request the US Marshals arrest a member of the Trump administration because it would create a constitutional crisis and because the executive legal team would immediately appeal it to his Supreme Court who would overrule them. So a smart judge doesn’t want the crisis and knows they will get overruled and won’t use federal Marshal arrest power. As a result, there is no mechanism for non-lawyers. A lawyer like Janine Pirro may have to deal with an ethics complaint, but most of the people in the executive branch doing arguably illegal things aren’t lawyers. So then what? There’s no solution to this, it’s uncharted territory and a complete disaster.





  • Go learn about the harmless error rule. You are incredibly naive. DAs and cops break the rules ALL THE TIME because once there’s a conviction the burden of proof shifts and a defendant, now convicted, in prison has the burden of proving (somehow, while behind bars) that in a theoretical other version of reality they wouldn’t have been convicted had the error not been made.

    It’s a nearly impossible standard to meet, especially difficult after conviction, and the remedy is not even necessarily release, merely a new trial.

    Not only that, even if a judge and DA and cops violate a defendant’s rights OVER AND OVER they still almost always apply the harmless error rule. Even if the trial is essentially infected with bias and procedural corruption (what could be deemed structural error), courts do not care.

    Many decisions the court makes are just denials without opinions also, so it’s not like the court always even justifies why they ignore a convicted person’s request. In other words, the appellate cases you’re reading as a law student showing one defendant got released over an error is a cherry picked case chosen by the court either to create the illusion of a fair functioning system or chosen because the situation is so egregious (that means terrible) that courts will look bad if they don’t overturn it.

    But no, there’s nothing functional here.You’re privy to nothing if you don’t understand that things haven’t really been functioning for a long time, primarily because the harmless error rule allows corrupt DAs cops and judges to do almost anything.











  • There are also rumors, which may be untrue, of a Majestic 12 committee making deals with aliens in exchange for tech. It may be that advances in semi-conductor technology are the “trojan horse,” with AI being a natural and probable consequence of that which was genuinely discovered after the chip advances or with AI first being developed by government and then leaked to the public later via papers and then commercially made public, with the end result making the earth uninhabitable for humans. We also don’t know if aliens and UFOs are merely biological life/advanced travel or if they are some sort of technological/bio hybrid. It’s also possible that these are crazy rumors made up by people who can’t fathom science. I understand the statistical and computational logic of AI, so that doesn’t seem that crazy to me, but sudden semi-conductor advances seem impossible to fathom; but I could just be ignorant. One flaw in an analysis like this is that even without UFOs, aliens, and computers, humans were doing a great job of exponentially obliterating the normal natural environment just based on pollution emissions from cars and other processes.

    Who knows?
