    Arrest made in Capitol pipe bomb case

    I think the thing with the Epstein files is that the whole world order would burn to the ground if they were released in full. Where I disagree with Trump is I say that's a price worth paying, and I think he's scared of the power vacuum it would leave.

    So, you're saying power is legitimacy and that's it ? There is a social contract in the US, and it derives from the declaration of independence. If the principles enshrined in it are violated, then there is no legitimacy for the government that has resulted. Or, do you think Al Capone was the...

    BREAKING: Trump Declares Any Document Signed by Biden with Autopen is Terminated – Threatens Biden with Perjury Charges

    The president can sign the documents using any means he chooses, autopen included. But, there's a lot of evidence that Biden wasn't the one signing these. Basically, if the president says "sign these pardons with the autopen" that's kosher. If some underling just says "use the autopen to sign...

    None of that is any more constitutional than FDRs internment of citizens with Japanese ancestors, or his confiscation of gold.

    That's what the controversy is about here. Trump's DOJ is pursuing the argument that it's still a tax even at $0. And since SCOTUS already upheld a tax that you're not allowed to pay at all in the '86 shenanigans, it's not clear that they will reach the only logical conclusion here. Maybe...
