There needs to be some significant asset seizure or nationalization of assets, otherwise this will become the norm for all Presidents. A pardon does not protect against seizure of property that is illegal (think: seizure of ships for piracy).

Among a mountain of bad-faith factual claims and frivolous constitutional arguments, Eastman's ultimate plan was for VP Pence (or Sen. Grassley) to *knowingly violate the Electoral Count Act* and let SCOTUS block any subsequent lawsuits on political question grounds. Just shit from start to finish.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.

Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.

Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.

OPINION: "When the Japanese Americans arrived at temporary detention facilities, euphemistically called 'assembly centers,' hastily constructed on fairgrounds, racetracks and other government property, they were shocked to be body-searched, fingerprinted and interrogated," Susan H. Kamei writes.

They would have to give up US citizenship to escape US taxes. How many US govt contracts could they get as foreign nationals? If they are foreign nationals, wouldn’t they be subject to the Toktok law? It would never happen.

Well, the *last* time this happened (in Iran), the U.S. did not like who the Iranian people chose (Mosadegh) so they coup-d him. I’m thinking the US-Israel will install someone *they* like rather than someone Iranians want…
