This is readable, educational, and like watching a car wreck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We Still Have An Imperial Judiciary, Yet Trump Continues To Exercise Extreme Restraint "'[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by law.' That goes for judges too," the Supreme Court declared last week in holding several lower court judges erred in entering nationwide injunctions in the lawsuits challenging Donald Trump's birthright citizenship executive order. The Supreme Court's Friday decision in Trump v. CASA, Inc. represents the high court's most recent check on what it branded an "imperial judiciary." Yet, there appears no end in sight to the lower courts' entry of lawless injunctions against the Trump Administration.

It is already time (and necessary) for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== ASSIGNING BLAME A merchant captain and several of his officers were returning to the ship, completely drunk, after a big evening ashore. As they climbed the gangway, the captain threw up all over himself. Pointing to an apprentice seaman above him, he shouted, "Give that man five days in the brig for vomiting!" The next morning, the captain was checking the log, and he saw that the young seaman had been sentenced to ten days instead of five. He asked the chief mate why. "Well, sir, when we got you undressed, we found that he had also pooped in your pants."

District Court Issues Nationwide Injunction Against Supreme Court Ruling U.S. — In the wake of the United States Supreme Court ruling that will effectively prevent district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions, a district court issued a nationwide injunction against the Supreme Court ruling. In a stinging rebuke, Federal Judge James Boasberg handed down a nationwide decision against the Supreme Court, which struck down the Supreme Court's ruling that he and other lower court judges had no authority to hand down nationwide decisions. "This nationwide injunction holds that the Supreme Court's ruling against our nationwide injunctions is unconstitutional," Boasberg said in his ruling.

Someone's feeling militaristic, it's clear... We superior primates would simply purchase poo to fling, or laxatives for self-production.

If any don't, they should. Diminishing knowledge of using apostrophes probably led to their being dropped altogether.

Welcome to American capitalism, N ma'am! Egad, but you're a party animal...

The best being the one that I initially suggested.

A regional or local bank should be more flexible than the giant ones.

They don't want to offend the, uh, Amish.

As long as they're banned from the U.S., who cares?
