I once worked as a staff person (not a corrections officer) in a prison. When I read your post, my first thought was about the many inmates who would wholeheartedly agree with your statement. Many of them feel their convictions and/or sentences are unjust. Many of them feel the judges and juries...

It's the new-year rush time in the fitness industry. Motivated by their fresh start in a new year and the resolutions they made, more people join gyms this month than any other. As you think about your fitness, and if you are less than happy with your present state, what held you back last year...

That's one point of view. State and federal prosecutors and other officials see it differently, which is why the so-called "alternate electors" are now being investigated for election fraud and other crimes. If they are charged and convicted, they face years, not months, in jail. Regarding the...

We now know 83 people submitted their names to the National Archives, naming themselves as the true electors when in fact they were not. Of those 25 were from NM and PA. Those 25 are probably off the hook because they submitted their names making it clear they were doing so on a provisional...

That's right. Some are easily convinced of their views long before they consider objective reality.

The normal folks in the barber shop I go to tend to agree with me, and me with them. So if real people in real barber shops are the authority, and if they disagree between shops, how do we know which one is the right one? On matters of law, we do not go to barbers and barber shops. We go to...

Or maybe the law still matters and, generally speaking, judges are people of integrity for whom the law matters more than party affiliation and the wishes of the president who appointed them. Trump and his friends are not losing in court over and over again because of partisan bias. They're...

Looking for more on this, I came across this report: https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/d-c-circuit-rejects-mypillow-ceo-mike-lindells-appeal-after-judge-refuses-to-throw-out-dominions-lawsuit/ With the denied appeal, four judges have now ruled on various aspects of this case. Two were...

Important fact, conveniently overlooked by some.

Referrals from a number of states have now become an active federal investigation. Bad news for the poor souls who signed their names to the documents in question. Maybe Trump will step in to help these dedicated supporters of his by paying their legal fees? After all, they literally put...

While it could turn out to be different, I don't think the "have the military seize the voting machines" document will amount to much. Vast stores of documents are generated by numerous people in any administration. Anyone could have created this document to float as an idea. While the document...

You're right about the total speculation part. With nothing to go on, I'm not going to speculate about Barr at all. Meaningful info will come out in due course. Barr is reported to have been working on a book since he left his post at the Justice Department. And it seems accurate that "Barr...

Or maybe a partisan state AG failing to act where a serious crime was committed in plain view? https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/elviadiaz/2022/01/14/what-do-arizona-fake-trump-electors-lock-them-up/6529192001/

I tend to agree with this Pennsylvania comment. In that case, the people involved specifically stated they were submitting a document based on a contingency. They did not try to pass themselves off as the true electors for their states.

So you say. Obviously, a number of state and federal officials disagree, or at least think the matter is worth investigating further before agreeing that things are as obvious as you claim. For example, "Attorney General Dana Nessel of Michigan said this week that she believed there was enough...

This definition, plucked quickly off the internet, works for this discussion: "Under common law, forgery is committed when a person makes or alters a writing so that it is false with the intent to defraud." The definition of forgery under various state and federal laws is likely being...

No, it's not obvious. Forged documents were improperly submitted under false pretenses by unauthorized individuals to the National Archives. The real documents were submitted by the actual officials in each state. The National Archives recognized them as improper and sent the questionable...

It's no longer the case that the story relies on "unnamed sources." One person involved in the alledgedly fraudulent electors scheme has come forward and is talking in public about what this group did and why. He is confirming what CNN previously reported. While many are saying this was a...

It's hard to take the Washington Post seriously when you have a fiercely partisan bias and limit yourself with all-or-nothing thinking like you do. Some parts of the story can be dismissed as not news. Other parts are valid. You miss a lot when you instinctively dismiss a source of any kind...
