They stopped issuing the $500 in 1969. Jimmy Carter was a private citizen running for governor of Georgia and the President was Nixon.

I believe there is plenty the founders got wrong. But many of the issues of today comes from their inability for some reason to see the rise of the political party. The structure of the constitution is designed with an understanding that each elector and legislator would exercise independent...

I mean in theory yes. But the reality is that Congress is very rarely going to go against a President of their own party, and the same applies to a lesser extent to the courts.

The interesting part about this is that these changes to the Discipline won't affect them anyway.

Let's see if they can identify a federal issue first.

Here's the thing. Legal appeals need to be based on legal arguments. Claiming that this was a conspiracy to get Trump does not count. The judge sought official guidance about his potential conflict and was told he did not meet the mandatory recusal standards. I also fail to see how he was...

Just what it says on the tin. There are posters who seem confident that Trump's conviction will be overturned on appeal. What is that based on?

Yes, as a predicate of the predicate crime. Trump was on trial for falsifying business records with intent to conceal a conspiracy to effect the election. That charge was broad, but really all Trump needed to do was create reasonable doubt that such a conspiracy existed and the specific illegal...

Trump did know what crime he was accused of committing. Turley misrepresented the jury instructions.

On what basis?

No idea. It's never happened before. But there is no mechanism to prevent somebody in prison from being elected. There's also the fact that he hasn't been sentenced yet and very well might not have any jail time any way.

Amsterdam doesn't have an open drug policy. What Oregon tried was more in line with Portugal. However, they chose to take a public health approach to drug addiction without first significantly beefing up the public health system.

Uh, Bleachbit is freeware, so there were no payments for it period.

Do you give weight to that, or only the ones who are saying something you agree with?

Why? What qualifies him as an expert in judicial ethics? Especially when it comes to the standards that NY judges need to follow? You are correct. It was two New York laws, Penal Law § 175.10 with the predicate crime extending it to a felony being Election Law § 17.152 The jury instruction...

And when other law professors disagree with them?

No. But I don't need to be to understand federalism. The federal courts only have jurisdiction involving federal questions (so things involving federal law, including the Constitution) or diversity jurisdiction (citizens of different states, but that's limited to civil law). Just because they...

The only way to get it to federal courts will be if a Constitutional claim was raised during appeal, and even then it would need to go through both the Appellate Division and the Court of Appeals first. And that even assumes that SCOTUS will pick up an appeal from the Court of Appeals, which is...

The people of the state of New York

Was any of that courtroom experience in New York? I'm willing to give them credence where federal law is implicated, but this case focused on a pretty obscure NY law. What exactly indicates bias? Gag orders are an accepted power of the courts. And if you are going to bring up his small donation...
