I won't hazard a guess on the number of Republicans who don't like much of what Trump and especially Musk have said and done in the last month, but there is at least a politically significant number of them and those numbers may keep growing unless Trump can stop the chaos he's created and start...

Correct, it would have to pass Congress first before Trump can sign off on it and implement it.

Until very recently Musk didn't act at all like someone who knew he lacked authority to do things on his own. Maybe it was just his big ego getting in the way of saying the right thing? :D In any event he did do some things that Trump did not approve of and Trump's team had a discussion with...

Only he knows if what he said was true and he's no longer around to explain his opinion. :) What I know of Judith Sheindlin is that she often very brusque and can be easily irritated or angered, especially when she thinks someone is wasting her time. I've known judges like that. Few attorneys...

Look, it's pretty simple: if you are uncomfortable with the attorney don't hire him and don't hire another from that firm. The judge and jury will only know he went to the same high school as you did at the same time if you tell them. Whether the attorney takes the case out of pity, or because...

It looks like the President's team may have finally drilled it into Musk's head that he doesn't have any authority to authorize things on his own and needs to make the suggestions/recommendations to Trump instead. If so, that's a step in the right direction in calming the chaos that Trump and...

Judith Sheindlin, aka Judge Judy, played things up on the show for the TV ratings and her audience was largely female. So siding more with the female litigants in family law cases isn't so surprising. The "litigants" are in an arbitration proceeding and the show puts up the money for the awards...

As to private employers that is certainly ideal, but the vast majority of companies have no legal requirement to do that. In my state there are former state legislators that are allowed to keep their legislative e-mail accounts and still have a page on the legislature's website. The point being...

I've felt that way for a long time. I tried to point out the warning signs. I respect that you are looking at what's really going on and are willing to change your view of Trump based on how he's actually doing the job. As much as I dislike Trump I didn't think he'd cause this much chaos in less...

Because Musk doesn't know what the hell he's doing and doesn't the proper way to get things done. He talks about "deleting" whole departments and agencies, something neither he nor Trump have the power to doCorporate CEOs and boards can cut their company budgets however they like. They only have...

In many states small claims court would not be a proper venue for this. Rather the parent has to go back to the court that issued the order for enforcement of the order. There won't be tax to pay over the conflicting claims to the dependent when the the returns are initially filed, as I...

I'm a tax attorney and I've seen a lot of these kinds of problems. A couple of things you need to know. First, Congress changed the law a number of years ago so that who has primary custody in the divorce decree/custody doesn't matter when it comes to determining whether your child is your...

On internet forums "p/x" is shorthand for "posting history".

I can appreciate your passion for horses and wanting to provide a service to disabled customers. But your passion for it isn't a factor in determining what kind of access must be provided under the ADA. Moreover, you may have a standing issue if your are not yourself disabled and need assistance...

I agree. It's worth remembering that the ADA does not apply in every situation and where it does apply all it requires is that business or government entity provide a means of access for the disabled to be able to use the facilities in much the same way as other persons rather than the specific...

Lawyers (at least the good ones) don't have staff lurking on message boards sites like this looking for clients because it's both inefficient and in at least a few states doing that can result in a lawyer facing disciplinary action under the rules of conduct for lawyers by contacting people to...

You are apparently missing the point. It is more control when Trump seeks to achieve those goals by usurping the power of the other branches of government or take actions that he lacks power to take under the Constitution and federal statutes. In short, how he achieves his goals is as important...

Apparently you've not been following what Musk has been doing very closely. He's been doing, and trying to do, a lot more than "just documenting what Biden spent money on." Trump and his White Staff have had to pull Musk and tell him that some what he was trying to do wasn't permitted. Musk...

You have your facts wrong. The Department of Education was indeed created by Congress in the The Department of Education Organization Act (Public Law 96-88). While JFK created the USAID it was later established as a separate agency by Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (Public...

You seem to be assuming that I didn't oppose the power grabs made by those presidents. That assumption is not accurate. I don't like the power grabs of Democrats any more than I do those of Republicans. The way Trump is starting out is a rather rocky road and if he wants to succeed in doing...
