They’re doing this because success would set up factual predicates to support invoking the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act is invokable when state governments are actively disobeying federal law.
They’re not invoking the Insurrection Act right at this moment, because with the facts they have right now, they’re not confident they’ll win the case in court. (And they may also lose a voting majority in Congress on the matter.)
Windows does, in fact, have signals. They’re just not all the same as Unix signals, and the behavior is different. Here’s a write-up.
You’re correct there is no “please terminate but you don’t have to” signal in Windows. Windowless processes sometimes make up their own nonstandard events to implement the functionality. As you mentioned, windowed processes have WM_CLOSE.
Memory access violations (akin to SIGSEGV), and other system exceptions can be handled through Structured Exception Handling.
flood the U.S. Gulf Coast and Midwest refineries with Venezuelan heavy crude.
It is so important to understand the difference in grades of crude oil.
The US’s refining capacity is currently oriented around lighter and sweeter crudes. They can’t just handle a big glut of Venezuelan oil today. They would need retooling and and reconfiguration. And Venezuela needs a bunch of new and reinvested infrastructure if it wants to ramp up its production.
All of that is a large, large amount of capital expenditure, and the people who can put that money down will want solid assurances that the Venezuela arrangement will continue for years and decades.
And Trump is certainly not giving them “long term thinking” vibes right now.
It was also common to have a single step mode, where the CPU advances one cycle per switch press. Very useful for debugging.
And you could frequently read out the contents of registers directly on rows of lights. This led to the trope of the blinky light computer in Star Trek (original series) and elsewhere. Because the lights would flash in various patterns when the computer was running, as the register contents changed. But in the single step mode you could interpret the values.
Nvidia has entered the chat.
Speaking about oil reserves, the US can be a petro state and net exporter as long as the price is above 60 USD/bbl. Thanks to hydraulic fracturing. Other nations can still produce oil cheaper than that, but the US has a vested interest now in stabilizing the price right around where fracking breaks even, because they’re also such a big consumer of petroleum.
There’s a long and storied history of that in the Caribbean Sea. Yarrrrrrh.
Al pastor is actually a lot more recent than the Moors.
Shawarma was imported by Lebanese immigrants to Mexico in the late 1800s. The meat switched over to pork based on availability and the fact that the Lebanese immigrants were mainly Christian.
The court found that there is no lawful basis to deport Abrego in the first place, because the government was unable to produce a copy of the 2019 deportation order in court.
The court found that government lawyers deliberately “misled the tribunal” regarding their efforts to deport Abrego to Africa. The court “will take this into account” while considering pending motions for sanctions.
In alternative to #1, the court found that the government was not really detaining Abrego to deport him, because they could have sent him to Costa Rica at any time in the past few months. But they did not.
Therefore, there is no lawful reason to subject Abrego to immigration detention, and the writ of habeas corpus is granted.
Abrego is still on bail in the TN criminal case.
The license holder is attaching additional terms and conditions that are incompatible with publicly disclosing the driver source code.
This is a different judge in a different district than the one who handled the Comey indictment.
The lawsuit was filed by Dan Richman, who wants his personal data returned to him. The data was seized in 2019-2020 under search warrants, but the public learned in Comey case filings that the FBI failed to exclude non pertinent data, violating the terms of the original warrants. Among other problems.
In the previous Comey case, nearly all of the evidence that the government presented against Comey came out of these warrants. And it’s not clear if they have any other sources of evidence.
16 inches is the caliber, or the diameter of the shells.
The propellant is not shown here, and would be loaded separately in canvas bags behind these shells.
The speech and debate clause is separate from the arrest clause. The Treason exception only applies to the first part.
Additionally, Treason has a definition elsewhere in this document, and just giving any kind of speech doesn’t meet the standard.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
It would be pretty hard to claim that any kind of speechifying amounts to “Aid and Comfort”, especially if you can’t identify the “Enemy” in a time when the nation is at peace.
Now the first amendment does apply here, but I expect a legal defense to go to this speech and debate clause first, then 1st amendment. Because 1st amendment has a bunch of exceptions of the “yelling fire in a crowded theater” type, but speech and debate is going to be more ironclad. Once you convince a court that you were doing Congressional speech or debate, then the only discipline you can face is from your chamber’s rules, period.
B-but, but… The Burn Bags??? The grand jury in Florida??? The conspiracy against rights???
Kash gotta stick around to cover for that stuff, right?
(If you don’t know what I’m talking about, keep it that way. This is like the dumbest bullshit I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lotta bullshit. )
Double jeopardy is not a factor in this situation, because the first jeopardy “does not attach” until a jury is seated and sworn in for trial, or when a guilty plea is accepted. The trial by jury is the “jeopardous” part of the criminal justice process. If the case is tossed before that point for any reason, then there is no jeopardy bar to refiling.
If a trial starts, but ends in a mistrial, then it is usually possible to go to another trial, even though jeopardy “has attached”. A mistrial ruling effectively “unwinds” the entire trial like it never happened.
or is it like an annulment where it kind of never happened?
This is what Judge Currie said in her opinion. The indictments didn’t happen because they were run entirely by a pretend US attorney.
I am not looking forward to potential litigation on that question.
[The Senators and Representatives] shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Beach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
In semi related news, Greg Bovino, the El Paso sector chief turned tactical commander of Operation Midway Blitz, has personally been found to be a non-credible witness by a federal judge.
This is a finding of fact. It’s presumptively admissable evidence in any future legal case he might testify in. On appeal, it can only be reversed for “clear error.”
Yep. And remember folks, every secret service, FBI, DEA, or ATF agent out on the streets abducting brown people is one less agent working their regular counterfeiting, terrorism, public corruption, money laundering, drug trafficking, or weapons cases.
The active duty marines did actually detain a civilian Angeleno before that situation was shut down.
Edit: Part of the legal difficulty is that Posse Comitatus Act violations are written up as crimes in the statute. It’s not clear that someone could actually sue to enforce with a civil lawsuit. And good luck getting DOJ to file charges on that.
