Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

Scathing from Judge Edelman: Given his first indictment, the notion that the grand jury process would protect David Hearn from another "meritless, politically driven prosecution" is nothing short of "facetious."
Given the process that led to the Indictment in this case, Mr. Hearn and the public
cannot view the promise that a future grand jury would protect him against a meritless,
politically driven prosecution at some point in the future as anything short of facetious ‘The government indicted Mr. Hearn at a near-record pace, with the grand jury voting on the charge less than two weeks after his arrest.

Lucky break for Hearn's prosecutors? After dismissing the case with prejudice, Judge Edelman, in the last footnote, declines to rule one way or another on whether feds acted in bad faith. Prosecutors have an excuse not to pursue a lousy case and avoid a damning finding. buff.ly/wu0xyjN

Here's the crux of the ruling blocking Trump from firing court-appointed US Attorney Roger Rogoff in Seattle: Allowing it would "upend" the constitutional order. Trump's tried to end-run Senate confirmation for US Attorneys in five states and failed. Now, he's gunning for the judiciary's power.
Allowing the President to fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney would upend
the framework created by the Constitution and the statutory framework, which together balances the President’s right to appoint and the Senate’s right to confirm. Allowing the President to fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney also eliminates the incentive to nominate a candidate that can be conferred by the Senate—in other words, bypassing the requirement that the Executive and Legislative branches work together to nominate and confirm the U.S. Attorney.

Let's not lose sight about the big picture here. Courts keep telling Trump that he's defying the constitution—trying to end-run Congress and the judiciary—to keep his top prosecutors in half a dozen states. All to have loyalists decide who to criminally charge with what in a DOJ under his thumb.
