1) Executive amnesty: > Obama’s unilateral violation of American sovereignty and immigration law was likely the most lawless act of an executive in recent memory. < But when Trump simply countermanded that usurpation, a number of district judges – from William Alsup and Nicholas Garaufis to John Bates – said he must continue issuing work permits and visas to people who, under the law, must be deported. < Shockingly, the Supreme Court refused to grant the government an expedited appeal despite the unprecedented circumstances, forcing the administration to first go through the crazy Ninth Circuit.
2) Presidents set refugee levels except for Trump: > The law (8 U.S.C. §1157(a)(2)) grants the president full authority to set the circumstances and numbers of refugees. < Yet several district judges, including Theodore Chuang of Maryland, ruled that Trump must continue the refugee policies of Obama. < Evidently, only Democrat presidents can set the refugee cap. - Unfortunately, the administration gave in to these courts and modified the refugee provisions of the “travel ban,” so this issue never had its day at the Supreme Court.
3) Temporary immigration status is really permanent: > Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is designed to afford temporary residence to those here legally while a natural disaster happens to take place in their countries. > Contrary to statute, Bush and Obama extended it to illegal aliens and made it permanent for many countries. < Trump merely followed the statute and made this status temporary, yet Judge Denise Casper said that because Trump is a racist, the word “temporary” in the statute really means “permanent.”
When's this stupid trial going to finish already? I don't even really care if Manafort goes to jail, but I'll enjoy the butthurt if he walks.

Manafort talked his wife into getting fucked by six black guys while manafort watched. His wife pleaded with him not to do it. Manafort physically threatened her to go through with it, and later bragged about it to his own children.

Mueller's case is terrible and has some massive holes
The Jury is a bunch of idiots re:"Is an Indictment Evidence"
Taking longer might also be better for man of fort.
4) Catch-and-release of bogus asylum seekers: > Obama not only expanded the definition of asylum but began releasing even adults who came here as bogus asylum seekers. > Judge Dana Sabraw mandated that Trump continue catch-and-release. > Additionally, in July, Judge James E. Boasberg, a federal judge in the D.C. District, certified an entire class of Central American asylum-seekers to lodge an injunction against five ICE offices for not continuing another Obama policy of granting paroles to aliens who passed the credible fear test. > Boasberg is also a member of the lawless FISA court.
5) Obama’s visa programs are now the law: > One of the many immigration programs Obama concocted by administrative fiat was a program to allow foreign entrepreneurs to circumvent the visa process and apply directly for parole. < Trump respected the fact that only Congress can create this program and merely discontinued it. < Judge Boasberg, once again, ruled last December that he must continue it!
6) Take the Census, but don’t find out who’s a citizen: > In July, Judge Jesse M. Furman indicated during oral arguments that he would side with the liberal states suing the Department of Commerce for adding a citizenship question on the 2020 Census form. > Granted, it was not just Obama who stopped asking this all-important question, but this question was asked from the founding on up through the 1950s. < But Trump can’t simply restore this commonsense practice.
7) Trump must continue Obama’s contraception mandate: > Last December, Judge Wendy Beetlestone ruled that the Trump administration must continue enforcing the Obama-era contraception mandate, forcing employers to directly or indirectly provide contraception as part of their mandated insurance benefits for their employees. > The Supreme Court already invalidated Obama’s mandate in the Hobby Lobby case, yet Obama found a way around it. < Now, Trump must continue Obama’s discretionary policies.

I would generally say the longer the jury meets the better the outcome for the defense

>Which one of you was this? Do you mean the toddler, the stabber, or the shooter?
This feels more like a "Flordia Man" style headline ... fuckin crazy either way.
Kayden Morgan
>The Jury is a bunch of idiots re:"Is an Indictment Evidence" They wanted it listed as evidence because it's the reason he's going to be cleared on half his charges (his corporate entities weren't named in indictment). I didn't get it at first, either, but it makes more sense with that angle.

What are the holes you’re referencing?

8) Transgenders in the military: > From the time of George Washington until the last year of Obama’s presidency, men who castrated themselves or imagined that they were women did not serve in the military. > Obama changed that in 2016 without approval from Congress. < Yet several judges in D.C., Baltimore, and Seattle mandated that Trump admit them into the military and continue a policy that never existed before 2016. > Judge Marvin Garbis of Baltimore, a Bush appointee, even ruled that the Pentagon must pay for the “surgery.” < Every president, as commander in chief, can determine military enlistment qualifications, but not Trump.
9) Obama’s teenage pregnancy program is in the Constitution: > In June, a federal district judge in Washington D.C., Kentanji Brown Jackson, ordered the Trump administration to continue doling out $800 million in grants to private organizations to prevent teenage pregnancies. < This program never existed in this form until Obama and has proven ineffective, but it must continue, because a judge said so.
10) Obama now sets regulations on cars forever? > In April, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued an injunction on the Department of Transportation’s delay of penalties to auto makers that didn’t comply with Obama’s added Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. > Obama dramatically expanded the penalty, and his decisions are now final.
11) Trump must regulate drainage ditches: > In 2015, Obama declared that seasonal runoffs and ponds in your backyard are now “navigable” waters subject to federal water regulations. < Trump merely restored the commonsense policy in place since 1980, defining navigable waters as, you know, waters that transport commercial ships, not breeding grounds for mosquitos. < But Judge David Norton, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled that Trump must continue Obama’s policy, despite a Georgia judge finding the policy itself to be unconstitutional.

Wyatt Thomas
12) Hot air? Trump must continue Obama’s methane policies: > Last year, Judge William Orrick ordered Trump to continue Obama’s lawless legislation of allowing the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to regulate the venting and flaring of methane from oil and gas production. > This has been devastating to our burgeoning natural gas industry. < No statute on the books could conceivably grant such authority to the BLM. > Orrick is the same lawless Obama-donor judge who declared a nationwide sanctuary policy attempting to block the DOJ from punishing sanctuary cities.
13) Obama regulated free speech of 3D gun blueprints; Trump must do the same: > Obama’s State Department dramatically expanded its authority under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations to stop Americans from merely publishing CAD files of 3D gun prints. > This is the First Amendment, not a gun issue. < The Trump administration merely stopped regulating this particular activity, but Judge Robert Lasnik ordered the Trump administration to block Cody Wilson from simply uploading a CAD file.

Damn, he must hate that bitch.

You should care. It'll be weeks of "President Trump's former campaign manager went to jail on fraud charges" before the midterms. No one cares about Paul Manafort, they only care about how it sticks to Trump.

How SEETHING are they that they couldn't cover it up in time?
1 Hurricane and two Typhoons churning out in the Pacific, Hurricane going to Hawaii, one Typhoon going to Korea, the other to Japan.

>John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it! Judges can bitch and cry all they want. Trump doesn't need to do shit, and the SC will back him up if they really try to force their illegal rulings
>What are the holes you’re referencing? read this twitter feed a few...banks knew manafort had no income, so not a fraud loan Gates did the books and stole from Manafort, manafort didn't catch him
>Three tropical cyclones are lined up in the Pacific Ocean, and one, Hurricane Lane, may hit Hawaii in a few days. The other two, Typhoons Soulik and Cimaron, will crash into east Asia, directly affecting South Korea and Japan later this week.
>All three storms contain winds of at least 74 mph, indicating hurricane strength (typhoons and hurricanes are the same kind of storm, but have different names depending on the section of ocean they traverse). Typhoons Soulik and Cimaron are on a collision course with the Asian continent, and effects from torrential rain, strong winds, and dangerous surf appear unavoidable.
>Meanwhile, the forecast for Hurricane Lane is less certain but has become more ominous. While it could pass south of Hawaii, merely throwing back big waves on its south-facing beaches, it has become more likely that the storm will veer north and bring more serious effects from wind and rain over portions of the islands.
>Lane is positioned about 600 miles from Hawaii’s Big Island in the Central Pacific. Its peak winds are 125 mph, down from their peak near 140 mph over the weekend. But it remains a powerful Category 3 hurricane.
>The Central Pacific Hurricane Center expects the storm to maintain this strength through Tuesday, before it may begin to very slowly weaken over cooler waters. Even so, when it nears Hawaii on Wednesday and Thursday, its peak winds may still be around 100 mph.

Hold up... IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF A 4D CHESS MOVE?
The (((media))) is going to go crazy saying that the judge has clear bias because of his personal statements just like what the fucking weasel dem fbi agent "no we will stop him"
holy shit did Trump tell him to do this to make the media further fuck themselves and have the public lose further trust in the fake news? H
It's not that bad, just obviously trying to squeeze into the letter limit. The only major mistake is putting the (Jay Sekulow and me) part after request instead of our

Just how fucking bad is your English? Are you a spic?
How can brennan even sue for his clearance back? How does that even make any fucking sense? Didn't this guy fucking threaten Trump with death basically at one point?? What the fuck?
