Miracle recovery.

Obviously It is listed in the link that you copied. There were over 1,000 defendants and the link in the OP said over 350 were affected. The government made up a part of a law that didn’t exist or wildly misinterpreted the law.

Regulations? Probably. Fees? Probably not. If Congress enacted a fee or if they gave an agency that authority to regulate a fee, it would probably be lawful. It is like if Texas passed a law (which I think they did) that said the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has the authority to set the length and possession limits on fish, then they can do so because the legislature gave them that specific authority. If they were not given the specific authority, it would be unlawful. In this case a federal law was passed that the inspectors had to be on the fishing boats to regulate the commercial fishing catch. The law did not say who would pay for the federal inspectors to ride on the boats. They were federal employee so you would assume the federal government would pay their salary like any employer. The federal agency controlling fishing however, decided to make the commercial fishing fleet pay the salaries of the federal agents. Nothing in the law said that and nothing in the law gave the agency the authority to force a salary on a private company. Under the Chevron case from 1984, the Supreme Court (stupidly in my opinion) ruled that if there was any ambiguity in the law, a federal agency could basically fill in the blanks. Now they have to use the rule of lenity or strict construction. If a law is ambiguous or not clear, the courts should rule in favor of the person accused. The federal agency can’t make up their own opinion as law.

Huge case. Federal agencies can’t make up their own rules and definitions.

That was certainly the spin from MSNBC and CNN. I watched both after the debate. Biden looked terrible…. it was a poor performance… BUT he hit hard with facts … blah blah. So apparently they believe (as MSNBC and CNN said), Biden hit them with facts! Really, like Biden closed the border? Does anyone believe the border was ever secured under Biden? Or perhaps when Biden said in the debate, I am the only president in this century to not have troops dying anywhere in the world. Hmm… like maybe the ones killed during the disastrous quick abandonment of Afghanistan where 13 soldiers, Marines and sailors were killed? There were more than 20 others killed including in a recent drone attack. I wonder what the families of over 30 service men and women think about Biden saying that they weren’t killed with several from his pullout orders? Biden, the Border Patrol union supported me! No, they didn’t and went on the television after the debate to dispute the claim Biden, Black unemployment is the lowest it’s been in a long time. No, it’s currently at 6.1%. It was 5.6% under Trump in May 2020 before Covid put a substantial percentage of people out of work. In the middle of 2019 under Trump it was at 5.5% for Blacks in total and Black females at 4.4%. Trump has always been an exaggerator and blow hard narcissist and everything he did was always “the best”. To suggest however that Trump’s comments were lies and ignore the lies by Biden is silly.

Both MSNBC and CNN are about to have Harris on live. Any chance that she comes in and says what a great job he did? 🤣🤣🤣 Chris Wallace just said, Biden has sunk his campaign.

Watching MSNBC and CNN, they have pretty much thrown in the towel for Biden. CNN has had a commentator mention “if” someone comes in to replace Biden, he will likely win… So they know that the cards have been dealt but the replacement hasn’t been named publicly yet.

Months. Sorry to correct your tpyo….

Now they have degraded to who can hit the golf ball farther…. 🤣🤣🤣

He created inflation with his Green New Scam.. 🤣

He was waiting for a chance to use that one and got to squeeze it in…. his “trump” card I expect it at least one more time.

Yes, that is probably the planned closure.

.. and neither does he!

Biden - For 51 years Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. If I was Trump, who didn’t get a rebuttal, I would have said… For 59 years Plessy v. Ferguson was law of the land that said separate but equal was constitutional. It was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education. So is the Supreme Court allowed to correct mistakes?

Yes. I think we are witnessing the end of the Biden reelection campaign.

Omg…. Women are getting raped by their spouses and being arrested when they cross state lines. - Joe Biden

I thought he was going to fall asleep.

They might have to call a 10 run rule and end it early….

I don’t think that Biden is going to it….

No matter what side of the aisle you are on, whether you believe that the Democrat nomination is completely fair and playing out as we speak or whether you believe that Biden being forcibly removed was planned months or even years ago…. The Democrats must have a serious plan in place, that is not public, in order to respond to substantial odds that Biden might crater from health issues, reality that he might lost to Trump or whatever. This cannot be a typical reelection as if Bush or Obama was running.

But some of it beats watching Australian rules football at 2am….

The problem with law enforcement (and everything) is cost. It is more so with law enforcement. PA is divided into 8 patrol districts. I have no idea about Beaumont. Patrol officers work four 10 hour shifts. At three shifts a day and seven days a week, so it would take the hiring of six additional officers to put a single officer on the street for a week. At approximately $150,00 per officer, it is roughly one million dollars to add a single officer to a single district around the clock. The police department already has the largest budget in the city. So if one district (or even a couple of combined districts) would greatly improve by adding a single officer, it would cost one million dollars. I say, let’s add 18 more and increase the patrol shift by three officers per shift but I can guarantee that they won’t add $3,000,000 to the budget and that isn’t a one time expense. That million or 3 million will be spent elsewhere. Maybe on a couple of signs….. 🤣

Like the signs should be about #1,437th on the list of things to do and they are on #7?

Hopefully Texas will win their case in court to simply make suppressors legal without the federal tax stamp. I doubt it as the interstate commerce clause is far reaching. For those who may not know, in Texas a firearms suppressor is legal but they are still against federal law without a federal tax stamp. Texas removed them from prohibited weapons a couple of years ago. Texas is currently fighting a case in court that if the suppressor is manufactured completely in Texas and never leaves Texas, it would not then fall under the interstate commerce clause. The ICC allows any commerce that crosses a state line to be controlled by the US Congress under the Constitution in Article I.

The Supreme Court has never ruled to my knowledge that a child under 18 has all rights under the Constitution. A recent Fifth Circuit Court (our circuit in New Orleans) ruling said that an 18 year old is an adult and carries adult rights. That was in reference to the Texas law on issuing a license to carry a handgun in public for people 21 and older. So Texas has had to start issuing carry licenses to 18 year olds. Like other rulings that I’m aware of, those rights do not extend to a person who is not an adult under United States law, under 18. While some rights such as free-speech are protected for children, others are not. As another example of this is that the Fourteenth Amendment requires equal protection and due process. A 14 year old can be denied the right to sign a contract however so he isn’t included in all “equal protection”. Therefore the issue of a 14 year old carrying a machine gun or any firearm is not a constitutional issue in my opinion. Even under federal law people often state that an 18-20 year old person cannot buy a handgun but that is incorrect. Under both state and federal law an 18-year-old can purchase a firearm in front of a police officer or ATF agent. The federal government, probably through the interstate commerce clause, doesn’t allow federal licensed gun dealers to sell a handgun to an 18 year old however such sales are not banned from a private person to person sale. So again an 18 year old is considered an adult and can purchase and possess handguns but a person under 18 is not included. The 18 year old adult simply can’t buy one from a federally licensed dealer. So there are some restrictions under both state and federal law for some firearms laws which are constitutional. As the Supreme Court ruled in Heller, McDonald and most recently (2022) in Bruen, the Second Amendment protects the right of adults to obtain (keep) and carry (bear) arms but did not extend that right to minors or children.
