I stand by what i said regarding the utility of declaratory judgments. I could add to what i said but i will leave it as is.
The ideal scenario is to have SCOTUS lay down the law of the land. Declaratory judgment might be or could be part of chain of causation that lands us there.

“Nobody Saw This Coming” evidently is restored, if it ever was down. See above.
By now, though, everybody’s seen it coming.

So by the admission of the AI, declaratory judgement has both dubious effect and dubious application here. I could told you that.
Look, the best bet would be someone having the stoneage to issue a court order to return ballot boxes.

“Bespoke” meaning a custom or one-off design is not a “thing” in American colloquial English. It’ll send most of us running to the dictionary.
I always thought of Mushmouth from Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids when I heard the word “bespoke.”. No doubt due to his creator’s crimes, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids has been memory holed.

Sunday School 3 months, 2 weeks agoSo, I note that the Forums still aren’t restored. If the data is lost, will it at least be restarted by restoring the topics? I’m particularly missing the “Nobody saw this coming” thread following The Warning’s musical progress.

Enco,
I have only heard second hand about Real Time’s most recent episode. It is supposed to be repeated tomorrow on either CNN or HBO. I intend to watch.
In terms of declaratory judgments i searched declaratory judgment AI and here it is:

Declaratory Judgment is a tool. It is not the same as an issue fully litigated and having a judgment. In the matter of seizing ballots it could be quite useful. Since it can define the terms and obligations the offending parties (those who are seizing ballots might recognize their own culpability/liability for doing MAGA’s b…

That is a good segue for the latest episode of Real Time and the dire predictions involving AI.
I searched for that and haven’t yet found it. I do know that AI slop in this video contributed nothing to understanding of failed utopias in the U.S.:
AI did nothing to capture the horrors and…[Read more]

Enco,
The issues you cited were legal. Those were the law. Economics interests and cultural sensibilities influence the decisions that change the law.

They could try for a declaratory judgment
Which court could issue a declaratory judgment on issues of rights that the rest of the government would be bound to respect?
And if declaratory judgments from courts could recognize or restore rights, why weren’t declaratory judgements used to abolish slavery and Jim Crow, establish gender…[Read more]
