Analyst says that Kavanaugh also wants District Court judges to be stripped of the ability to issue national injunctions.

Worthless.

The interesting part to that is that all district courts are allocated to circuits, so when Congress ordained district courts all were responsible to their circuit appellate court. Said Appeals court ruled on disputes within their circuit. Where is it mentioned that district courts were ordained with national powers when it's clear they were all ordained as circuit courts?

Interesting one here - in 1996 Congress took for granted that District Courts had the power of national injunction. Took for granted!!! Congress did not grant. Article III "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://scholar.law.colorado.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1112&context=lawreview

Correct. He's just being childish. You can't call it trolling as you need wits to be a troll and he's not at the races in that department.

Incorrect. The debt ceiling must be raised to service Federal obligations due to a large inherited deficit. If it's not raised the USA will default on it's debts with catastrophic consequences. Stop posting utter lies.

Stupid question. The USA still needs to pay the cheques written by Biden.

Bray - The best argument against statutory authority to grant national injunctions is that neither the APA nor the Judiciary Act of 1789 authorize them. Frost - In his concurrence in Trump v. Hawaii, Justice Thomas criticized nationwide injunctions and declared that “[i]f their popularity continues, this Court must address their legality.”................ a Seventh Circuit panel discussed the propriety of a nationwide injunction in detail. The Seventh Circuit then agreed to review the scope of the injunction en banc (though argument in that case was recently postponed). Going forward, it seems likely that courts will be more cautious in issuing these injunctions, which in turn may take away the incentive for Congress or the Supreme Court to address the issue. But of course, it is always difficult to predict what the future will hold. https://judicature.duke.edu/articles/one-for-all-are-nationwide-injunctions-legal/

Calm down, it's not been ruled unconstitutional. My OP stands - Clarence Thomas would vote against District judges issuing national injunctions. I think this is heading to SCOTUS before the midterms.

I just read that as Federal District Judges are not mentioned in The Constitution it is by dint unconstitutional for them to interfere with the Executive. So all Federal District court orders of that nature are void. Apparently only SCOTUS has that right. I think this is heading to SCOTUS.

Foolish talk. Straight from the festering bowel of Rachel Maddow. This is an attack on DEI, a rightful attack on DEI. Far too many incompetents hired based upon skin colour and sexuality. They're all gone. And now they will need to reapply for their jobs if their respective departments are continued. Lets see them go head-to-head on merit. And the delirious aspect of your post ignoring the utter stupidity of "looting" is the fact that Biden guaranteed that the Fed Gov would decline in effectiveness with his woke hiring agenda. He guaranteed it - with lesbian firefighters saying things like "if your husband is trapped in a burning burning - so sad, too bad - he got himself caught in the wrong place." Dear me. Watch here -

Accurate description. It doesn't apply to me as I take weeks off from this forum at a time ( sometimes involuntarily ). You're the sad case that's easily upset.

I read it. By the way, you're in the same category. Go to a temple, tell a monk how miserable your existence is - Moving to Thailand to spend 12 hours a day on the Internet is a wild lifestyle choice no matter who you are.

I keep referring to mental illness on this forum. Posting 500 times a week on American politics, and for all we know some of these people are also posting elsewhere, is not healthy. These people are seeking out information from known propagandist sites such as Rolling Stone to validate their world view. They get a dopamine hit as soon as they read said validation, and they can't wait to spread the propaganda. When confronted with a contrary opinion, they resort to "dumb MAGA/Nazis." I have the OP on ignore but I could see the topic title. I'm not prepared to spend time in the mental fantasist loop in which he lives. I suggest he gets help - and I further suggest he starts by watching videos on how to beat "Rumination" on YouTube. That's the last time I'll be kind to him. He's destroying this forum by constant personal attacks.

To admit you made a mistake is not a failure. I look forward to all the Demented Dems apologising for saying the Wuhan lab theory leak was racist, now that the CIA has confirmed that was the source of COVID.

Last time it happened to me I paid the bill and binned the food.

Another issue, that I hope the OP has considered, is that the gentleman with dementia might take a dislike to him. I've seen irrational dislikes blow up several times in the past. In the OP's mind it will be an uneventful flight, may well not be. The last time I was privy to a dementia patient blowing up things were thrown continuously around the room. Remember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I just saw the news that NancyL passed away two years ago. That was a bad loss to the CM expatriate community. Does anyone remember the name of the organisation that she supported that looked after the elderly in CM?

Is NancyL still with us? She was well versed in these matters in Thailand. If the Thai authorities are approached, especially by a NGO, and the situation is explained it's very unlikely that they will treat him like a regular overstayer. I have a memory of a case in Chiang Mai around 10 years ago where the Thai authorities waived visa requirements and the individual was placed in an assisted living facility. At whose expense, I don't know. I do remember NancyL responding to a report of a lone dementia sufferer in the Hang Dong area. When he was found, it was also found that he lived with his Thai family and his adult children, that he had fathered, were actively looking after him. The report was derived from a sighting when he wandered away from his family while shopping. Anyway, this looks like a handwashing exercise to me - get him on the aircraft and he's someone else's problem. We know there's serious doubts as to whether he'll be allowed to board in the first place. I'd be looking to the Embassy, or a local NGO to get involved.

^^ Concur Also, there's a very high risk he will be denied boarding at the airport. Very high risk. The check in staff are not stupid. I know two examples of denied boarding in the last couple of months and I was sent to the medical clinic for clearance due to something as simple as an eye infection. Showing up unaware of your surroundings? Or being walked through by a pal and abandoned at security/immigration? This has disaster written all over it. And Vinny41 is correct.

I've been through Dubai at least 100 times with codeine and other so-called illegal meds in my hold bag and never had a problem. Far higher risk in carry-on bags. Side note to anyone reading the thread. If you are transiting but leave the airport with duty free, they will confiscate it when your go through security even if it's still bagged and tagged.

If this is true the Treasury needs to be criminally investigated.

I was under the impression that both were not available outside the US and territories. How could this happen? Id MTG just fantasising again ( I'm not a fan of hers to say the least ).

As I pointed out earlier, the DOGE team has now increased to 100. They've only just begun. Some of the things I'm reading are so bad I don't want to comment. It appears that successive US governments have abrogated their fundamental fiduciary duty to the extent of what can only be described as criminal negligence. That will include Trump 1.0 Democrats vowing to "fight on the streets" better get ready for a few million taxpayers showing up to fight back. Sickening to think so much money has been wasted.
