The court has to write test because there isn't one. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Is anyone listening to the oral arguments in the appellate court about the Trump gag order in the D.C. case? npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Since there has been a lot of criticism of Mastodon (and I did have that little meltdown) I'll tell you all why this remains my favorite platform: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I want to follow up on the reason I see so much anger and cynicism. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield If you find yourself in a constant state of rage, it is not because of Trump. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield . . . I waste my time and energy on social media. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Hi, everyone: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Someone asked: At what point is a motion so ridiculous that it gets the lawyer who filed it disbarred?" npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield They include pictures to show that the clerk is "co-judging" the case. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Hi Fediverse: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield What's funny about the latest idea that the Republicans should campaign against a national abortion ban is that, so far, the only people who have wanted a national abortion ban have been Republicans. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Aaaand . . . npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Whew. I did it. Here is the 5th part of that series I've been working on. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Answering a question: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I finished Part II of the series I'm working on: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I have a new blog post ready: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield If you get an error message I have it on good authority that the problem is Mastodon and not my server. Just wait a minute and try again. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield There is some confusion about Meadows "flipping." npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Trump and Michael Cohen are facing off in court. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I say this to preempt cries of "frivolous!" and "how can he get away with this." npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I suspect others are thinking, "Wait. I want probation and a small fine." npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Here is the DOJ's response to Trump's claims that the case should be dismissed because he had absolute immunity as president: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I am getting lots of questions. The problem is here is where I am. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Fani Willis chalks up a win. Powell gets probation. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield The gag order is now available. You can see it here: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Steve Scalise dropped out of the speaker race. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield (Thread) Democracy Awakening npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Oh the lighters side, the latest MAGA conspiracy theory is sort of hilarious. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield A statement from the White House" npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Oh, and if you missed my earlier posts about this, don't worry. It's not a book about the third amendment. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield The international news has me feeling beaten up today. I think I'll head back to my writing desk and think about the Third Amendment. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield @npub1qu2…uj0d npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Better rationale: It's a noble undertaking. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Whenever I start a new book, I think, "This one won't be as hard as the others because [insert fantasy.]" npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Phillip Bump @npub1520…cw07 wrote this piece for the Post slamming Elon Musk for his latest degradation of Twitter. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield As it turns out, this is exactly what Trump did. His social media post was aggressive, but did not mention the court staff. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield If you click here you can read the article free through my subscription: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield A few thoughts about the gag order: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I gather Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, is presenting Trump's "They're Out To Get Me" defense. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Who builds the best Sukkah? npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Walking along a gorgeous shoreline and I realized I was thinking about gag orders and the First Amendment npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield With permission, I am showing you how my son is traveling. We just got off the plane and we're on our way to check him into the dormitories. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield The youngest is packing for his first year of college. (We take him tomorrow) npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Addressing the comment that he's not likely to be a reliable witness: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Adding: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Headline writers are getting a bit ahead of their skis in the Lin Woods matter. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Here is Mark Meadow's latest brief: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield As long as I am making predictions, I don't think Judge Chutkan will recuse herself. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield My conclusion: It seems to me that the greatest danger that the DOJ lists is that jurors will be afraid to serve. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Here's the DOJ's request for a gag order: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Cannon isn't giving Trump what he wants. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I wrote 5 pages 🎉 for my new Bill of Rights book (for Abrams) that starts like this ⤵️ npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield @npub1xpc…3t05 npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield @npub1xpc…3t05 npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Who knows if the House crazies will even get that far, right? npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield If these memos were binding on future administrations, before leaving office, Trump could have had his DOJ create opinions that would bind Biden. Nonsense, of course. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Remember also how horrified we were that Trump was creating rules for refusing to comply with subpoenas. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield The executive branch cannot dictate rules to the House. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I'll try again to respond to this politico piece: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Someone asked about this: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I finally saw The Little Mermaid. (I make it a point to see the movies that annoy Matt Walsh ) npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I should be more careful. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield In other words, because Meadows lost, the others really have no chance at all. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield After today's hearing on Chesboro and Powell's motions to sever, I think it's time for: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I used to think the problem was that Twitter and its algorithms, which----like Facebook and Fox--incentivize material that evokes strong emotions (like rage and cheering for "our side"). npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I signed a contract to write a book about the Bill of Rights for my favorite publisher (Abrams). npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I have my weekly blog post ready: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Here is Fani Willis's response to the court's request for additional briefing. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield For all the people who are asking questions about the removal issue, this is a good explainer: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Here is the sentencing memo for Enrique Tarrio and his "lieutenants." npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Wanna read something truly insane? npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield . . . I can't believe he did XXX and said XXX what on earth will I be able to do? This case is a LOSER OMG. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I also think that it is a disservice for a pundit to say, "Meadows case has a fatal flaw," because the public doesn't really this is an opinion and without realizing it, the pundit is acting as an advocate. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Once more, I stand alone thinking that Meadows has a chance at this. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Just catching up on a few interesting developments: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield How I feel after reading a dozen pre-trial motions and almost finishing my weekend blog post. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I am getting so many questions about why I think that Meadows' argument is not laughably absurd and might win that I want to try again to explain. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Some of you are being silly. He is not claiming he is carrying out a duty because he is wearing a suit or helping Trump rape someone. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield . . . is that removing his case does not satisfy the purpose of the statute. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield He has to meet two prongs: He has to show a casual connection between the accused acts and his role as Chief of Staff. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Remember, this is a jurisdictional issue. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Here is Mark Meadows' reply to the Fani Willis's response to his motion. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Several former prosecutors and Michael Luttig have filed an amicus brief arguing for why Meadows should not be allowed to remove his case to federal court: npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I'm quoting this to make the point that there are two distinct views of American history and the purpose of government. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield wapo.st/3OMwMDk for an account of Trump's hints of political violence. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield One way to tell the true believers: They want Trump to pay for their lawyers. Some of the people who want Trump to pay for their lawyers (like Ellis and Giuliani) are lawyers so they know exactly what it means to have a co-defendant pay your bills: Your interests can't diverge. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Another thought about the filings from the Georgia defendants. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield I was thinking about Jeffrey Clark's rant in his filing about how the indictment is a political "hit job." npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Here is Jeff Clark's motion to remove. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield People. The “federal officer removal” doctrine is not the same as the Nuremberg defense. npub10dw8nkvktm3kt87ylq3l4eneuwu5czczturc7ngdk3dr89tjcp4q4avnsf Teri Kanefield Let the finger pointing begin.
