Notice how the case presented on behalf of the Trump government is chock full of issues of merit while the appellate court decision is a procedural matter.

Hmm, I wonder how the conservatives of the court will do with those...

“Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars? The answer to that question should be an emphatic ‘No,’ but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned,” Alito wrote, joined by the three others."

Yeah, the nerve of that single judge and his audacity to believe that he could even think he had the legal expertise, let alone the legal authority, to compel the Trump administration to honor the contractual obligations of monies designated by congress for its stipulated purposes...

"MAGA supporters see what some call an independent streak as a sign she isn't sufficiently aligned with or loyal to Trump."

"She is a rattled law professor with her head up her a--," said Mike Davis, who once clerked at the Supreme Court for Justice Neil Gorsuch and described Barrett as "weak and timid."

The funny thing is, if Canada DID become part of the US, it would be the largest state both in terms of size and population, and have about 53 House seats and almost all of them siding with the Democrats. It would be virtually impossible for the Republicans to win the House. With regard to the Presidency, with 55 electoral votes going to the Democrats, the Republicans would almost never win the Presidency.

For the Senate, if Canada were to join, but demand that each of their provinces and territories join as individual state, that would mean 26 new senators, the majority of whom would be Democrats. The Republicans would never control the Senate again. Canada would be the dominant voting block in the US and would largely be able to dictate policy. Gun laws anyone? How about universal health care? Abortion bans... not a chance.  Canada would shake up American politics in a way not seen before.

Further proof that trump and his sycophants don't think things through.

As long as they can survive politically, that is all that matters. They will not be held to the same standard that would send any of the rest of us straight to prison.

Have a nice life.

Well, no it isn't.  Any reference to weapons packages is classified?  No, that's complete horseshit, but it isn't surprising that you have your selective leftist outrage.  

Your statement above indicates that You yourself don't have any understanding of it.  

The Timing?   There was no notice of where those planes were in the hemisphere, what munitions they were carrying, and what their targets were.  

Were longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates revealed? No, not at all.

Now then, maybe you should consider this.  

59 enemy combatants were eliminated.  That's fantastic in my opinion.

I don't recall you speaking one word when the previous Sec. Def. Lloyd Austin got 13 AMERICAN military members killed in enemy territory.

Why is that?  Is it because of the fact that you are a selective outrage leftist fraud, who really doesn't care about whether a mission is successful, but rather how You and other leftist frauds can politicize it and capitalize on it?

I don't recall You saying one word about General Milley literally collaborating with our Chinese Enemy Xi's Military leader, discussing how he would STOP the Commander in Chief President Donald Trump from taking action against that Enemy China.  

Can You refresh my memory as to when you called for General Milley's resignation or court martial?

Oh wait, You mean to say that You didn't?  You were where again, when these 2 military leaders caused the deaths of 13 American soldiers?  Under Your desk, hiding?  Is that right?  

So when did You come on to this thread exhibiting outrage over the deaths of those soldiers?  Can you point me to Your postings about it?

Oh, never?  You never did?  Does this mean you're a partisan hack leftist?

Where were you to become hysterical about that military failure and massively pathetic withdrawal from Afghanistan?

And lastly, does this excellent military operation, which was highly successful, anger You because it was successful, while your hero Joe Biden didn't have any response, and are You pissed that this great military operation eliminated the Houthis who had attacked American military hundreds of times?

And so since this error in having this biased reporter in the mix didn't result in a failed operation, and resulted in a very successful mission, please explain how now that enables the Chinese, Russians, or the Iranians?

Tell me, do you support Iran?

Richard, I simply can’t believe that you are willing to make these arguments.   You might be the only person on earth who is arguing that this was not classified information or that the leak was not a big deal.  You can support Trump if you desire and still acknowledge that this was an enormous, epic, monumental security failure (or other words starting with f) made by high level administration officials.
