I support this Pipe Dream.
Unfortunately, this isn’t a Congress that will vote to limit its own power.

A lot of it can be traced back to when the easy money from Silicon Valley Bank dried up after it’s collapse.
TIL: I’m quiet quitting.
Use OpenShell
No, that’s why we host our own gitea.
Reminder: The pirates won the last time they tried this crap.
I understand wanting to pay for the years you’ve already used it, but is there really any reason to use RAR over 7zip since 7zip will uncompress RAR & seems, from personal use, to have better compression for most filetypes.
Why New York state is suing Trump instead of charging him with crimes
James seems to be taking this approach, as opposed to a criminal indictment, because New York law empowers the AG to seek damages caused by fraudulent business behavior as a form of consumer protection. The law doesn’t require the AG to identify a victim or even demonstrate anybody suffered harm. Plus, the burden of proof is lower in civil cases than in criminal ones.
“What makes this statute particularly powerful is that there doesn’t have to be a loss,” Will Thomas, a law professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, told Yahoo Finance. “This statute has been used to disgorge profits illegally gained. The government can be allowed to claw back all of those profits. Provable nature is lower, and you don’t have to prove intent or willfulness.”
A civil suit also prevents James from bumping into the criminal case against Trump’s company that the Manhattan district attorney is prosecuting. Those two offices sometimes work together on criminal cases, as they’re doing on the recent indictment of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. With regard to Trump, however, they seem to be pursuing complementary approaches instead of overlapping ones.
So the answer is: it’s easier to win, it’s easier to punish Trump & they can still file criminal charges after a successful civil case if more crimes are uncovered.
A civil case can end with a criminal indictment however, which is certainly coming at this point.
See my other post in this thread for why it was done this way.
People keep asking this. I guess it’s the new spin the Trump fascists are trying to work.

President can’t pardon state cases.
Because Israel will blackmail the USA and expand their genocide even more.
The American folding comes in the wake of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s threat to collapse the Palestinian economy, as revealed in Israel Hayom
And now these fascists will use that as a threat to extort the USA at every step. They must be completely cut off from US aid.
Trump also has a plan to end birthright citizenship & deport Muslims starting on day one of his rule in 2025.
They already have the list thanks to the census.
Put on your own oxygen mask before worrying about helping others.
I’m voting Biden in 2024 strictly so that I can vote at all in 2028.
I’ll blame the voters that voted for a christofascist.
These networks should be air-gapped from the internet. Full fucking stop.
I know the largest local power company in my area has (had?) a completely separate fiber network for monitoring & WAN communications, because I helped design it.
