"The bottom line is this: The Appointments Clause is a critical constitutional restriction stemming from the separation of powers, and it gives to Congress a considered role in determining the propriety of vesting appointment power for inferior officers," wrote Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump.

Perfect, no notes chefs-kiss

This case legit feels like a trial balloon to see what they can get away with. Even compared to the Supreme Court, Cannon is taking some fucking wild swings with her rulings.

Her reasoning on this might as well be officially documented as "cus I fucking said so, nerd"

Article III judges need to be confirmed by the Senate I believe.

If Trump is an existential threat to democracy and minority groups, maybe betting on stopping him through procedure amidst the courts he himself rigged is a stupid and short sighted plan.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 67 points 2 years ago

democrats have been baiting the bear for four years without any intention of sealing the deal and we're all going to have to pay the price for it

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 47 points 2 years ago

Four years?

Before it was Smith it was Garland, before it was Garland it was Meuller, before it was Meuller it was Comey (that one was extra hilarious how bad it backfired)

Dems are coming up on a decade of their entire oppositional plan being "hope a lifelong republican meber of a three letter aganecy does the heavy lifting to take down a republican president"

So glad they made garland head of doj. Really great job Biden putting in the federalist adjacent guy who only ever came up because Obama didn't fight to get an actual Supreme Court justice in before he left office

It's all theater anyways. He was never going to be truly punished for his actions.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago

C'mon Biden, the courts ruled it's legal for you to drone strike him, do it losers.

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

they aren't enemies why would he do a drone strike?

Joe loves murder so he could do it just to sate his unending blood lust.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

But what if murder doesn't tickle the right spot for Joe when the victim is a rich white guy?

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Just have to wait for a moment when he confuses Trump with Kamala.

Does the joker ever tell batman the deaths are his fault? That he could have stopped them but by returning him to the same broken system he is allowing him to keep going? I am starting to feel like I need that comic panel as a reaction image

Where's the /r/politics thread?

[-] dead@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago
[-] NapoleonBlownApart@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

I OD'd on copium like a cop touching fentanyl just by opening that thread. The funny part is, every time there's a thread about BlueMaga, they're all like "we aren't a cult! We don't make up weird conspiracy theories!"

This thread is exhibit A

Biden has a notable interview today. He's really going to have to put on a happy face.

[-] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

If they could just catch him jaywalking, then we could get him. That would be the only thing we need to prosecute.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
