Trump's planned assault for Nov 2026

Reg:

MAGA Mar-A-Goo Face predated MAGA by decades and goes beyond partisan and ideological lines.

As cringy witness, I give you Helen Thomas of the The Washington Compost, Nancy Lugosi -er- Palosi, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, and any number of variations of Karens and Shaniquas, purple-haired, anatomy-piercing SJWs, Soy-Boy faces, Wojacks, and Virgin-And-Chad antipodes!

Ha-le-lu-jah! Holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol?

Enco,

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

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 bidding.

Furthermore a declaratory judgment or judgments could be useful politically. It might raise awareness and give democrats the opportunity to flail away at a pivotal or perhaps existential issue of our government when there are issues like Epstein and Iran that are diverting attention. The electorate might miss the gorilla in the basketball game entirely without causing a light to be shone. It is also an opportunity to address the issue of seizing ballots and create precedent for other governmental actors to abide by the law. And it puts the Republicans on notice who might otherwise go with the MAGA river and if they think the river is going to dry up to be on the right side of the law.

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 failures of Utopian Cults! And Yahweh Ben Yahweh looked like the mayonnaise factory owner who recreates at the golf club, with followers who looked like deacons who serve their wives bars and punch and hot dish in the Episcopal vestry after services! 🙄

So, basically, declaratory judgement is performative virtue signalling by lawyers in robes as long as “might” is not a “must”? Got it.

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:

A declaratory judgment is a binding court declaration that defines the legal rights, obligations, or relationships of parties in an actual controversy without ordering action or awarding damages
. Its primary purpose is to resolve legal uncertainty, prevent the escalation of disputes, and allow parties to determine their positions before a breach occurs, commonly used in insurance, patent, and contract cases.
Key purposes include:

Preventing Future Litigation: It resolves key issues early to avoid costly lawsuits.
Clarifying Rights and Obligations: Provides clear interpretation of contracts, statutes, or insurance policies.
Clearing Legal Clouds: Enables proactive resolution, such as an alleged infringer clarifying their status before an infringement suit.
Controlling the Case: Allows a party to set the venue and initiate the dispute resolution process on their terms.

Common Use Cases:

Insurance Coverage: An insurer seeks a declaration on whether they have a duty to defend or cover a specific claim.
Patent Validity: A company requests a ruling that a product does not infringe on a patent or that the patent is invalid.
Contract Interpretation: Clarifying ambiguous terms to prevent a breach of contract.

Unlike other judgments, it does not award money or enforce behavior, though it can accompany injunctive relief.

Jake:

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.
