Retired after more than 3 decades at DOJ's Environment & Natural Resources Division, which was a great place to work--home to many of the nation's best lawyers. NO DM, PORN, or SOLICITATION! Looking for news, analysis, and gallows humor, not love or sex.

DOJ's view here--that Congress authorized the executive branch to dismiss a citizen suit under the Clean Air Act (even where the U.S. doesn't dispute that the defendant violated the Act)--is mistaken, radical and dangerous. That said, ... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wow, how'd I miss the greatest save of all time? For the non-football fans, goalkeepers may not use their hands on back passes from team mates. That left Coupet only one option—a flying header toward his own goal in order to knock the ball over the goal post. www.nytimes.com/athletic/767...

The Office handles a lot of drug, smuggling, and health care fraud cases. These cases, as well as investigations of other real crimes, are now stalled due to weaponization.

As a result of the politicization of the US Attorney's Office in the S.D. of Florida (Miami area), which has led many of the investigations, the Office has lost 1/2 of its lawyers.

Here's what real weaponization at DOJ looks like. Fortunately for our Nation, many of the people tasked with doing it are either incompetent or sufficiently principled and quit. But with an idiot like Judge Aileen Cannon as the presiding judge, even incompetence might not derail it.

When Biden forgave student loans, the GOPers went ballistic, accusing him of taking Congress's power of the purse, even though servicing and enforcement of loans is an Executive function. But Felonious Rump just takes what Congress appropriates and uses them as he likes. Who needs Congress?

Whiskey Pete sure likes to prance. Did he pay a synchronized-swim coach to choreograph his moves. But Pete's dance didn't project toughness, it revealed a middle-aged dolt who misunderstands the current state of warfare: a world where a rag-tag Ukrainian and Iranian troops have defeated superpowers.
