The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

DOJ “shall not threaten, intimidate or coerce state or local elections officials or workers to demand that they halt processing the ballots of any registered voter solely on the basis that the ballot” is someone DOJ says may not be a citizen"

Pleased to see that one in the headlines this a.m.

Our San Luis Obispo D.A., Dan Dow, a right wing extremist/bigot/racist/culture warrior, began threatening our election officials this week, citing a letter from Bill Essayli (a Trump minion in the Los Angeles office).

Dow has been trumpeting 3 election fraud cases he prosecuted to suggest he's just enforcing 'the law' wrt Essayli's marching orders.

He ran unopposed for reelection. Time for a non-cultist to take him on.

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Republican Bill Essayli is not legally serving as the top U.S. prosecutor in Los Angeles.

The ruling is the latest roadblock to the Trump administration’s effort to extend handpicked acting U.S. attorneys beyond the 120-day limit set by federal law. The strategy was designed to bypass confirmation by the U.S. Senate — something that generally requires a degree of bipartisan support.

Essayli “is unlawfully serving as a ‘de facto’ United States Attorney,” U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright wrote.


It'll be interesting to see what Dan Dow has to say about the Biden appointed judges order.
