Aaron, I'm sure you're tired of us moms being concerned about you (though your shirts fit fine, lol), but please know that we all want you to be in a good headspace. Take the time you need (actual rest with a little bit of protein alongside the emotional support sour candy)... You're sprinting through a marathon & no one can keep that up. We'll all be here supporting you whether you post twice a day or 200, sending virtual hugs & actual candy... Ok? What you do is is important, but you, yourself are more important.

It’s actually SCOTUS since trump appeals all adverse court decisions to them.

Asha's avatar

In this instance it was a federal court. But this will go up to the Supreme Court I am sure and they will continue to grant him unchecked power and destroy our country.

Angie's avatar

Not necessarily, because the constitution is very specific about the circumstances. The appeals court was deciding based on district Judge's ruling. When they go to the Supreme Court they can lay out a bigger picture argument about how his lawlessness will affect state sovereignty and how his administration didn't actually meet the circumstances required to take control of the national guard.

Feeling muck like Aaron today. Trump has been emboldened by the courts to put his next move in place, military run government.

I cannot help but wonder - what am I missing? This makes absolutely no sense to anyone with a bit of intelligence. Is there something else going on that we are all unaware of?

72 hours notice so they can make it appear as if people are being treated like humans…that needs to be fought. They should be allowed in anytime if there’s nothing to hide.

Jacob's avatar

They should stagger visits so they all hive 72 hours notice but there is no break in between. It would force the prisons to always be ready and treat prisoners humanely.

That's what I came here to say: a daily phone call saying they'd be there in 72 hours so they have the option to show up whenever they want.

Schmendryck's avatar

That is a brilliant idea and frankly you, or we, need to send a copy of that same idea to every single Democratic representative so that they can try to get their heads together (and out of their own asses) & potentially act on it.

Yes the only reason you want 72 hrs is to clean up they should be able to go whenever that's oversight

You can’t override Federal laws and the Constitution with a departmental notice. (Re: DHS making Congress give 72 hour notice before a visit.)

Bad Bunny's avatar

They have no legal authority to make up their own rules. Congress does, and they won't allow this. A slam dunk separation of powers case.

jamocat's avatar

Yup. They asked for 72 hours but they have no legal right to it.

Yes its clear in the constitution that oversight of congress does not have time restrictions. That is their duty.

I don't know about the MAGA's, I go into "Truth Social" now and then just to see what kind of lies Trump and his MAGA's are posting, and some are downright HATEFUL! I can't believe some of the stuff they think. My husband keeps telling me, "I told you they're a cult", "They're crazy" and boy is he right. You should check it out sometime, it helps me somewhat see what we are up against and how we need to strategize. My thoughts ....
