Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Technically the jury verdict is not the conviction. Instead, the conviction is the court’s judgment stating the plea, verdict, adjudication, and sentence.

The first five years of land occupancy was 100% abatement of both, and the abatements phase out. Which is obvi why they want more DC money now. 023

Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Would the Framers, or any sane person, intend for many laws and even some parts of the Constitution (e.g., the Emoluments Clause) to be completely unenforceable due to a universal lack of standing?

Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It’s not complicated. The deterrent effect of a military presence is vanishingly small when the military has no law-enforcement mission, tools, or training. The presence merely reassures the few people who feel they or their allies control the military and will use it to intimidate locals. 200
