Suuuuper interesting, I was not tracking this. The judge found the law criminalizing noncitizen voting is a voter qualification statute, and therefore outside of Congress’s power. Surprisingly, this is an issue of first impression! Decision is here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The best reading of the actual statute that underpins this criminal case yields an inescapable
conclusion: 18 U.S.C. S 611 is a voter qualification statute, and the Constitution does not authorize
Congress to legislate voter qualifications for federal elections. Except for very specific constitutional
provisions (that cannot support this statute; we will go through them, Congress has no power to say
who can vote or who cannot vote in federal elections-that foundational power is reserved for the States,
and limits Congress.
Some legal principles are so fundamental that they form American constitutional bedrock, and
this case reveals a big one: When you're prosecuted based on a law that Congress did not have the
authority to pass, the prosecution cannot stand. That principle in federal law harkens back to cases
like Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 180 (1803), and United States v. Hudson, 11 U.S. 32, 34 (1812), and
has had explicit and unbroken support in criminal cases since Ex Parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371, 376-77
(1879) ("An unconstitutional law is void, and is as no law. An offence created by it is not a crime. A
conviction under it is not merely erroneous, but is illegal and void, and cannot be a legal cause of
imprisonment."). The principle is so fundamental that it even predates our constitutional republic; it
lies at the very heart of our constitutional heritage. See, e.g., Bayard v. Singleton, 1 N.C. 5, 9-10 (1787) (striking down a legislative act as unconstitutional and holding that a court cannot enforce an
unconstitutional law in any type of proceeding). This principle acts as a shield for every person facing
criminal prosecution in the United States, citizen and non-citizen alike. That shield protects the
Defendant here, and none of the Government's arguments break through it.

MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson sued for defamation over ICE ride-along videos calling protesters ‘terrorists’
Johnson accompanied top DHS officials last year to an ICE protest, where he pointed out “left-wing terrorists” for his millions of followers across social media.

BREAKING: MS NOW EXCLUSIVE. Republican Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway. GOP Judiciary staff told Schmitt the texts — obtained from the Trump DOJ — were "unvetted." Schmitt still used them.

As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.

BTW, the Fed also used its keyboards to rid the financial sector of toxic paper they accumulated in the runup to the 2006-08 Global Financial crisis. Estimates put that era of quotative easing at around $29 trillion. Also, "hyperinflation" (insert: "The Boogieman")... really?

Odd, then, the Fed currently holds over $4.5 trillion in treasuries that it purchased outright. And did the Fed use 'other people's money' to make those purchases...? Absolutely not. It used keyboards to debit/credit accounts.

Believing this bond market hysteria, as it related to the fiscal or monetary operation of the US, is like saying the market for a used 1998 Honda influences Honda's pricing of a new Honda.

The secondary market, where bonds are sold by the initial holders of the bonds - and where all of the publicized havoc is circulating in the press - has no impact on the US ability to finance itself. It can always create the dollars to pay the interest and retirement of those bonds.

intolerantcentrist.bsky.social @intolerantcentrist.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
The Fed then sells those bonds to the primary market and marks up the Treasury's account by that amount - double entry accounting. Once bonds are sold, the only obligation imposed on the Treasury is the interest payment and a statement to the holder(s) of those bonds.

intolerantcentrist.bsky.social @intolerantcentrist.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
an abject fallacy. The fundamental purpose of bonds is to ensure the Treasury's account at the Fed never goes past zero. Appropriations by congress instruct the Treasury to issue bonds and deposit those bonds in its account at the Fed in a dollar amount of the appropriation.

Yes. The deficit is an accounting identity. However, for a nation that enjoys a sovereign currency, and with its "debt" denominated in that currency (the US as an example), the idea of 'other people's money' being a necessary finance the operations of the country or to finance that debt is...

It’s much worse than indulging a failed, psychotic narcissist. This spot, like his speech to his insurrections on the National Mall on January 6th 2021, is to rally his base. Calling them to accept any measures he undertakes in order to preserve his position in power.

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.
given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT
Marxist-communists

I can see Republicans, Trump, attempting to hold on to power by any means necessary. It’s going to be interesting to see if Republicans in Red states lose to Democrats only to have congressional Republicans, as well as Trump, complain of “voter fraud” in the states they control.

Attys for 5 fired FBI agents being called before the grand conspiracy grand jury in Ft Pierce seek clarity on whether Judge Cannon's gag order bars them from testifying. They warn that their testimony will likely help the accused. ... 1/2 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
warrant. Clients will each detail their firsthand memories of investigating a properly predicated allegation that then-citizen Trump
had unlawfully retained hundreds of highly classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence..
This recollection would also include Clients' factually supported opinions on why and how such retention put the country's national security at risk. Further, as detailed in the Superseding Indictment, Trump and his co-defendants then obstructed the FBI's efforts to retrieve those
documents.
See DE 85, 1T 53-87. Thus, the detailed findings of the classified documents
investigation-whether those findings are contained in Volume Il or recited into the record at the
grand jury-will no doubt prove material to any would-be defendant in the current DOJ's purported 18 U.S.C. $$ 241 or 242 theory. See Pierson v. Ray, 386 U.S. 547, 557 (1967) holding that a defense of good faith and probable cause is available to defendants facing civil rights charges): In other words, the most inculpatory evidence against the original defendants in United States v. Trump et al-Trump, Nauta, and De Oliveira-will become the most exculpatory evidence for a law enforcement officer accused of violating their constitutional rights.
