The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And yet, a more recent ruling will help obliterate all the suits that outgoing Biden officials will be filing on January 21st.

The circuit courts (which are above the district court that issued this ruling) issued an opinion squarely on point just three years prior.

This ruling means nothing. None of the Biden officials would have been filing suits on January 21st, because there is no real legal argument against the new President haivng the power to fire the appointees from the prior President. That's why of the 4,000 or so appointees under the Trump administration, only Spicer bothered to file this pointless suit. And why it took the federal court less than three months to throw him out of court.

This is just a district court order quickly throwing out a suit because the law on point was crystal clear. It accomplished nothing, and holds no precedential value.
