Today I saw a lot of people talking about the fact that the information in the Signal chat was classified or should have been. And I considered yesterday saying the same thing because from my experience I couldn’t believe that they didn’t classify it.

However, with a few exceptions like restricted data, nothing is classified unless a classification official actually classifies it. And so when you have the top original classification authorities at the departments and agencies involved all say it wasn’t classified, then it wasn’t classified. Since they all had the authority to declassify it if it was classified, you can take their statements to do that if it was even necessary. It always amazes how many of the supposed experts are actually clueless. They seem to think that there is some amorphous entity that pronounces information as classified. Trump as president could declare that nothing is classified and that would be that with the few exceptions I referenced above.

In true Trumpian fashion, Governor Abbot should get a license plate or decal for his wheelchair that says Hot Wheels!

And as is usually the case they are apparently only obvious to me. First, as you probably know by now, the use of the Signal app was approved by Magoo and installed automatically on the cell phones of the new intelligence community.

Now the left is crazy claiming that the addition of the biased journalist could somehow lead to the end of the world. Pilots falling from the sky and cats and dogs playing together. But they never explain how. What they have to be saying is that the app was not secure because that is the only thing that could make any sense, but they can’t say that because Magoo approved it. So how can one American journalist who somehow got admitted to the chain have compromised our soldiers? Apparently he knew maybe two hours ahead of the bombs hitting that they were going to hit but he didn’t know where. And absent him being an Iranian or houthis spy he couldn’t have conveyed that info a manner that would have mattered. And even if he was, I seriously doubt that the houthis could have made significant changes in their positions. They’ve got to pretty well dug in by now. So how is this an issue?

The second thing that struck me as obvious but no one is talking about is that obviously team Trump knows what was said and they wouldn’t be denying the allegations if Goldberg could put up screen shots to prove his allegations. They are not that stupid and his track record is spotty at best.

Let me say that this rant was inspired by my response to a text from one of you today. During my response it occurred to me that the Supremes will step in and at least curb to some extent the power of district courts to issue nationwide injunctions. And I haven’t seen it anywhere else so I thought it best to do it before it occurs to someone else.

Now those of you who have followed me know that I am no fan of Chief Justice Roberts. I should correct my comments referring to him as an idiot because from all sources I have seen he is intelligent but he is not wise. He’s the consummate institutionalist. His entire career is protecting the judicial system from criticism. He doesn’t care what the law or the Constitution would dictate. His only concern is how will the decision help to give acceptance to the court. For example in the Obamacare decision he invented the mandate is really a tax subterfuge to save it because he was concerned that ruling otherwise would lead to riots in the streets and diminish the standing of the court in the eyes of the public.

In the Dobbs case overturning Roe, he joined the majority knowing he would be in the wrong side if he didn’t because there were 5 votes without him. But if I remember correctly, he joined in the decision but in a separate opinion would have preferred that the court uphold the Mississippi law without the need to overturn Roe.

His recent mouthing of anti impeachment rhetoric for judges is just more evidence of his preference for protection of the institution over the law.

Okay how does this come together for this rant? I predict that he will get the Supremes to reduce the jurisdiction of the district courts, as little as possible. Not because he wants to but because there are now several bills in the House and the Senate to do just that and he’s scared to death that he might preside over a judiciary that was diminished. He’s afraid that Congress might wake up to their constitutional authority and quit blindly deferring to the Court. Jim Jordan announced that they will hold hearings next week into these rogue decisions and may subpoena the judges themselves. How much would you like to see Senator John Kennedy question these activists if the senate held hearings?

And I saw today that someone came up with an even more interesting way to get a bill through the Senate and avoiding a filibuster. Attach it to a bill funding the judiciary! It would only require a simple majority in the Senate.

One reason I like him is because he frequently has great rants about what really went into the founding of this country and our constitution. He’s an expert and I’m not. Just like you I’m basically clueless. I’ve never read the Federalist Papers and neither have you. I have previously criticized him on things that I am an expert on and he isn’t, but when he goes into the things he did yesterday and today, it is eye opening and extremely educational and you should pay attention.

Now as you know I’m an attorney and so obviously went to law school, and I aced constitutional law but I guarantee you that nothing he discussed over the past two nights was ever discussed or covered in law school. And I guarantee you that 99.9% of the attorneys in this country are just as clueless as I am. And maybe more importantly I guarantee you that almost all of the members in congress are similarly clueless. Maybe Ted Cruz. And even more importantly, I guarantee you that the three leftist justices on the Supreme Court are totally clueless.

When I went to law school Marbury v Madison was considered the basis for our system establishing judicial review and chief justice marshal was considered a judicial idol . Now in my defense I thought Chief Justice John Marshal was a light weight. His decisions were simple minded but they established the nonsense that now plagues our country, and so we’re stuck with them.

There is nothing in the nothing in the constitution that allows judicial review of decisions of the other branches. Look it up! The supremes are given jurisdiction over very specific things. They don’t have jurisdiction to rule on acts of congress or presidential decisions. And more importantly, as I have said repeatedly recently, all the lower courts including appellate courts and district courts are creations of congress and are limited by whatever jurisdiction is granted to them by congress. The most effective way to deal with this lawfare by district court judges is to have congress pass legislation to restrict their jurisdiction and authority. Now I know you may think that this couldn’t get through the senate because of the vote 60 filibuster rule, but I heard several people suggest that it could pass by attaching it to a must pass bill. Maybe the budget legislation or a bill to raise the debt ceiling. Those are my suggestions.

Anyway please listen to Levin for information on things none of us know about the founding of this country and our constitution.

Mainly because I haven’t ranted recently, mainly because nothing really new is happening. It’s all this judge or that thinks they’re the president. That nonsense will be resolved in the near future in favor of Trump.

So what’s this rant about. Well tonight I heard that Iran is essentially at the stage where they could produce a nuclear weapon now. And I have seen that Iran has put its nuclear facilities farther underground than can be reached and destroyed by a bunker buster bomb. Okay, my thought is that maybe true but what if we dropped one bbbomb and then twenty minutes later dropped a second and then etc. I’m pretty sure that we would destroy it and certainly prevent them from ever seeing the surface again. It does you no good to have a capability that you can’t access! Just thought.

This idiot needs to keep his mouth shut. He is only concerned with his legacy and his view of the judiciary. Remember this is the same idiot who said there are no Republican judges and no Dem judges. If there is anything that has been proven more true, it’s that there are political judges. Roberts thinks that judges should not be impeached and instead just maybe overturned on appeal.

First, impeachment is the remedy provided in the Constitution. And second the balances and checks in the Constitution guarantee that no one branch is supreme. Here’s my question. Supposed this asshole district court judge decided to enjoin Trump from attacking the Houthis. Does Roberts really believe that Trump would have to appeal that up to the Supreme Court before he could act? I don’t even think he’s that stupid. The president has many powers invested in him by the constitution and no judge can deign to take those powers unto himself.

Roberts needs to pay more attention to his role under the constitution and less to trying cement some legacy. I predict he will be considered a poor Chief Justice.

As you know this is something that I know a lot about. Some stupid judge held that Trump can’t revoke the clearances of the attorneys in Perkins Coie. He is an idiot. What’s classified and who has access to it is under the Constitution the sole discretion of the president. No judge has any authority to overrule the president. This is a case where I would counsel Trump to ignore the outright nonsense of a judge. No judge can tell the president who to trust with confidential information. Just ignore it and keep them out of our security information and federal buildings. Let this idiot try to enforce his mandate. It has to stop with these district court judges trying to usurp the constitutional power of the president. Let the left try to get the Supremes to agree with their overreach.

It came out today that DEI was instrumental in getting women and minorities into ATC positions. Enjoy.

Today for the second time he came out for greatly expanding the department of education and his reason was totally a lie. First I usually prefer him as the Dem on the Five because he is usually semi rational and clearly preferable to Tarlov, but he is totally bat shit crazy on this issue. His supposed premise is that because 90+% of education is covered by state and local government and our schools are failing, it must mean that we need more federal intervention to improve our schools.

The problem is that he ignores that the reason for our failing schools is because the federal government is dictating what must be taught in schools. All the money from the federal government comes with strings attached that require teaching DEI and 1619 and all the other leftist nonsense and not the 3 R’s. No child left behind and other nonsense must be taught or else you will be investigated and sued by the DOE. He is so surprisingly wrong on this subject and I was very disappointed that no one called him out on it. Sad!
