A separate judge had ruled that Halligan, who brought cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, was unlawfully appointed.
A federal judge Tuesday ordered Trump ally Lindsey Halligan to explain why she continues to call herself the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia even though another judge determined in November that she had been unlawfully appointed to the position.
U.S. District Judge David Novak of Richmond issued a three-page order demanding to know why Halligan is still serving in the post. Halligan, who unsuccessfully prosecuted former FBI Direct James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, is also referred to as U.S. attorney by the Justice Department in official documents.
The judge’s order is unusual because he issued it on his own, not at the request of defense attorneys. It came in a case involving a carjacking and attempted bank robbery suspect who was indicted last month.
Sigh…
I wish people better understood the logistics of a general strike.
For the record my people were forced off their land by the US government almost 200 years ago in an event called the Trail of Tears. This has always been a dictatorship for some.
‘Organize a general strike’
You mean the thing they quash here with prejudice? The thing the US will build a jail on top of you for? The thing that they’ve prevented a majority of Americans from even attempting with the fucked social net and the paycheck-to-paycheck existence, dangling you just above homelessness (which they do nothing to fix or help people who are)?
Maybe in another part of the country I could feel that my neighbors and myself would provide and help one another, but I can’t even get these people to pick up their dog shit, let alone vote in their own best interests, or god forbid, take on the government that’s telling them I’m the devil and my cohorts are demons.
I agree with the want for one, but I think people’s wants and wishes get in the way of the colder reality. I used to think things like the trail of tears would be impossible to happen in the modern day here with technology and social mediabl, but honestly? I think the government would live stream it at this point
I’m sorry for your people, but the statement still stands. Life will only get worse for all people who are not white - and even for white people, as long as they are not rich. Unfortunately, that’s how it is with tyrants.
Yeah but a general strike has less than a snowballs chance in hell of ever succeeding. Succession or even just fucking killing these people would be unironically easier than doing a general strike because with those the most you need is state level support or a particularly well armed lynch mob.
The fact of the matter is you will never see a general strike within the territory of the United States so long as it stands.
Well, that’s true, and that’s why US citizens are so absurdly exploited and ruled by a child molester who gets away with everything he does with impunity - this is the true American spirit.
There is no such thing as the American spirit just as there is no such thing as the Asian spirit or African spirit or European spirit. The US is about 100+ nations jammed together raised apon the delusional propaganda of one nation under God or some trite, the fact of the matter is the US is too big physically and by population. Fact of the matter is this shithole of an empire has outlasted its usefulness and needs to join the Romans in the history books.
