“Facilitate” is not “Effectuate”
I’m saddened when I read the blog of somebody I respect, I’m looking at you Divemedic, gets it wrong because it is everywhere. The inferior district court judge has claimed (lied) that the Supreme Court agreed with him and that the Government had to “Facilitate the return of Abrego-Garcia”. The Supreme Court did not say…

A.A.R.P. v Trump, the follow up
In sum, literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order. I…

The Great Easter Egg Hunt
This has been a tradition at our house for the last 12+ years. I was roped into doing the Easter Egg Hunt for my kids. Easter Sunday, my wife tells me she’s going to be gone with the kids to church for a period of time, I’m to make an Easter egg hunt for the…

Would It Hurt To Document The Device You Sent Me?
I am actually good at this computer stuff. It is what I do. So I get frustrated when I order hardware and it doesn’t work. A month ago, I ordered a Mini-ITX board. It was cheap, and it wasn’t 17×17 cm, it was 17x19cm. Which didn’t fit in the case. The low profile CPU cooler/fan…

A.A.R.P. v Donald J. Trump
Big news early Saturday morning, the Supreme Court “ordered Trump administration not to deport Venezuelans under Alien Enemies Act for now” — NPC News. Or did they? There is before the Court an application on behalf of a putative class of detainees seeking an injunction against their removal under the Alien Enemies Act. The matter…

Is It AI Or Is It Real?
I noticed that we don’t see Garcia’s face clearly. All the images are from the side. There are some perspective issues when they are shaking hands. Finally, they went from, “No, you can’t see him.” With the Senator getting stopped by the military 2 miles from the prison, to sitting and having drinks in a…

J.G.G. v. TRUMP, 1:25-cv-00766, (D.D.C. Apr 16, 2025) ECF No. 81
The NPCs will have their marching orders by now. Yesterday it was “Trump is ignoring a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling that he return Garcia”, today it will be “Trump held in contempt of court.” Since I’m writing this yesterday, we’ll see how good I am at predicting the NPCs. We need to start on March…

Understanding SCOTUS Talk
Our court system is built around a false or better said, forced, politeness. This means that words have meaning in the context of the Supreme Court that aren’t obvious outside of those that watch The Court. The Education Industry also does this. When my children were in kindergarten, I had a meeting with their teachers.…

TDS is a sickness
While scrolling through X, looking for something to write about, I stumbled on a posting regarding Trump’s annual physical and its results. /Trump’s 2025 Annual Physical Results The post and almost all the comments are of the “It’s a fake!” or “They’re lying!” His temperature is normal. That can’t be because it is just an…

Interlocutory State (IANAL)
In the best of all worlds, the states would look at the Constitution, look at their laws, and gut their regulations until every last regulation aligned with our Constitution. This is not the best of all worlds. There are too many politicians who are agenda-driven. There are too many courts that are agenda-driven. The agenda…
