If Congress had put it in a statute there would have been no need for a regulation in the first place. The purpose of federal agency interpretative rule making is to fill in the (typically small) details that Congress didn't deal with in enacting the law. The most obvious examples are, of...

Under federal law, it's Biden's choice whether to contribute his papers to a museum to preserve a history of that president's administration. His "handlers" have nothing to do with it. Private money is raised to build it but then the National Archives takes over and operates the museums...

I'm not surprised that Newsmax would take a story that means nothing to the public — in this case what some Hollywood actor thinks of the pardon — and give it significant exposure. Newsmax, like Fox News, has become more of a soapbox for Trump than a disinterested news organization. Trump, once...

Her first and foremost concern should be removing herself and the kids from the boyfriend, even if that means moving out temporarily. As too many cases in this country have shown, someone who engages in this kind violence is likely to increase the level of harm, perhaps to the point of killing...

That's because they enjoy speculating about having her as president. They haven't yet taken stock of whether she could win the general election for president. The results of the election just held a few weeks ago tells me that selling the majority on a socialist for president only four years...

Exactly. Regardless of party most presidents and governors will give a pardon to their kids, especially when the crime committed is not a violent one or one of theft or fraud against others, i.e. crimes that did not result in harm to other individuals. I said earlier that politically its a bad...

The key phrase in the law you quoted is "controlled substance". Alcohol is not a controlled substance. Most drugs people take in this country are not controlled substances. Most anti-anxiety and anti depressants not controlled substances, including popular and effective options like Zoloft. The...

Not surprising to me. Biden may not have liked what his son had done, but as a father he would want to spare his son the hardships that he'd face with felony federal convictions. So I understand the very personal reason Biden had for making the pardon even though I believe it was an unprincipled...

I think most Democrats know that nominating AOC for president would simply be a gift to the Republican party. More significantly, I think AOC herself understands she wouldn't stand a chance of winning a general election for president, at least as things stand today. Trump and Congressional...

Nothing to stop them from doing it. But that tax law will treat that transaction of giving a gift to sibling A, who then turns around and gives the money to sibling B as a way to get around the annual exemption the tax law treats that as a gift directly from you to sibling B, treating A as...

Not at all. I have a very high regard for the Constitution. Nor was I commenting specifically on Trump either. I was simply pointing out that ArmyJudge's statement that: Dictators definitely still exist and billions of people suffer living under those despots. The Iranian Ayatolla is not the...

Sure they do. President Putin of Russia, President Xi of China, President Díaz-Canel of Cuba, President Kim of North Korea, President Maduro of Venezuela (on whom the U.S. imposed even further sanctions today), are but a few of those who, though all using the title President, are all dictators...

That's not the case. A LLC is a separate entity from the owner. A judgment against the LLC allows the creditor to attach non exempt assets of the LLC, nothing more. If the LLC has few assets but the owner has sufficient assets from which to collect the judgment then only a judgment against the...

I disagree with you regarding the indictment. The court's dismissal had nothing to with the merits of the case, which you know very well from being a federal judge yourself. The case might well have succeeded had the Supreme Court not significantly raised the procedural bar for prosecuting a...

His office being at his home and storing equipment is not a factor for piercing the corporate veil. Millions of self-employed do the same thing. The test for piercing is in his relationship with the LLC. He needs to make sure that he respects the separate existence of the LLC. That means doing...

I can't edit my post so I'd like to point that I didn't put anything in bold as I wrote it and I have no idea why that one paragraph ended up bold after hitting the send button. That's not the way it looked on my end.

Nope, didn't attend that event. And from what I learned of it afterwards it definitely would not have my kind of event. Then you were a saint too. I think most kids grow up having done nothing about which they'd be deeply ashamed of today. That kind of upbringing doesn't make the news...

You're right, people on both sides do it and all are wrong for doing it. If we as a society valued respect more and didn't delight in tearing everyone else down we'd be a lot stronger and find more common ground. I still believe that most Americans are more in the middle polticially than the...

Cultural norms have changed over time. Men may nothave gotten as much grief for a slapping a woman he didn't know on the butt 20 years ago but for most women that still would have unwelcome and unwanted. The difference today is that women are now more willing to call out that kind of offensive...

I wasn't just referring to members of Congress, but other Republicans too, including Governor DeSantis. The governor's decision may well have hinged, at least to some degree, on how much support there was in the party to get Gaetz back. For example, I think DeSantis would be very unlikely to...
