In reply to the discussion: DOJ notifies the court that it will appeal a judge's order to release a March 2019 memo [View all]Snackshack
(2,607 posts)Complete lack of any evidence to the counter is very persuasive.
The appeal in the last hour speaks for volume. As for protecting future workings/memo of DOJ unless they are anticipating another corrupt AG that completely contradicts a Special Counsel. There should be very little comcern about future internal workings at the DOJ ending up in court due to a lawsuit and having a Judge order a release of documents because the AG lied. But it happened once so...
Yellen has been Sec. of Treasury for how long? It is kind of a moot point since the NYT story. However it is still a point of contention. Maybe it would interfere with what Vance is doing although that seems unlikely.
Biden could have replaced the entire board. Given the nature and severity of what DeJoy did at the USPS during an election year (no less) there is a very compelling case to have done just that in order to replace him.
Perhaps I jumped the gun on Dems and voting rights they still some time. However I see no urgency on their part to address it or a will to upset the GOP. They are still trying to get the GOP happy with investigating an attempted overthrow of the Government. Not too mention there has been nothing about getting members of their own party Sinema/Manchin to agree with the party they are members of. That coupled with McConnells scorched earth threat. Killing the filibuster to pass voting rights seems highly unlikely.
Ive been a Dem all my life. Since 2000 I have seen them cave over and over and over to the GOP from Gore to the Iraq War, Patriot Act, Katrina, Torture, Financial Collapse. Then 8 years of having no response to massive obstruction by the GOP to Obama. Then the last 4 years of the most corrupt president ever who has killed 600,000 Americans attempted a coup. Colluded with a hostile power, obstructed justice etc etc etc. Dems have had the majority in the house since 2018. GOP made all kinds of hay out of Benghazi had the Dems on defense forever. Dems had all of this above as far as holding people accountable and applying the rule of law... all they got was 1 vote of contempt against Barr and to this day I dont think there was ever any real consequences for him due to that. Im not smearing the Dems Im stating the facts. A Paul Wellstone, Ted Kennedy or Al Franken would have never been so lackadaisical in defending rule of law, whats right. The current Dem party is way too timid Pelosi and Schumer needs to be giving speeches like Tim Ryan the other but instead they tweet.
