If you’ve spent any time around the Federalist Society — the hugely influential conservative legal society that plays an outsized role in choosing President Trump’s judicial nominees — then you’ve probably noticed their obsession with a singular issue
(Excerpt) Read more at vox.com ...
Obama let so many cases slip by that Democrats have argued PRECEDENT to NOT enforce immigration laws.
Never let a liberal Democrat make their case by arguing PRECEDENT.
Once they can establish PRECEDENT it's difficult to get laws enforced which is why they end up in court. And if you get a liberal judge, they will accept PRECEDENT as SETTLED LAW.
But not as Commie as a Homeowners Association.
They don’t have guns and the worse thing they can do it put lien on your house
Your local government can evict you from your home for having “too high of grass” with an armed sheriff
Name me a single home owner’s association that has that kind of power?
Homeowner’s association also has all the rules spelled out, usually in plain English that you agreed to when you bought the place, you even got a copy of those rules. Nobody has ever agreed to or even received a copy of your local ordinances when you bought your home. And if you did, you would need an attorney to interpret them for you. Because if you ask the local government employees you will more then likely get different answers to the same question from different people.
Not defending HOAs but at least they are honest about their tyranny right up front.
All the women skew Leftist over time. Example Sandra O’Conner.
There are exceptions but, It appears that the majority let their feelings overwhelm common sense quite a bit.
... and whatever they threatened him with...
Don't "diminish" them.....kill them.
Duplicate agencies/departments already exist at the state level. The federal bureaucRATs need to be flipping burgers.
Well your example sucks. The sheriff will evict you because your HOA obtained a judgment against you. How? By having too high grass, levying fines, adding penalties to the fines, adding up until you can't pay.
That said, I am one of the HOA gods here and most of us on the board try to be reasonable and prevent those excesses. But some are unreasonable and try to make life miserable for everyone.
Or better yet, panhandling.
DECERTIFY!
Money, maybe not to them directly but to family and friends.
Don’t know her but I looked her up. United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit nominated by POTUS Trump, Professor of Law Notre Dame, married, 7 kids, supports 2nd amendment, practicing Roman Catholic against abortion, affiliated with Faculty for Life, a pro-life group at the University of Notre Dame. Ho ho ho! Are you serious? The left will swamp her with sex assault claims! Every man and lesbian from the actors studio will be hired to accuse her with leftists shrieking “Men and lesbians are to be believed!!”
This is the crux of the argument:
“If Congress had enacted a law in the 1970s requiring power plants to use the best emissions reduction technology that existed back then, it could have locked those plants into using technology that is vastly inferior to the methods of reducing emissions that exist today. At the very least, Congress would have struggled to keep abreast of new technology and to update the law as better methods of reducing emissions were invented.”
And it is wrong on all counts. It simple form it suggests that Congress is unable to do - determine exactly the best rule - what an agency like the EPA is asked to do on its own. Yet, they offer no evidence for why Congress is unablwe to do that.
What does the EPA do first? It commissions a study. That takes time no matter who commissions it, and how is it that a Congressional committee is unable to commission the proper study? Of course they could. Then the EPA holds public hearings to get public input. A Congressional committee is certainly able to appoint a group to do that. Then the EPA has a group that looks at everything that was studied and all the public comments and tries to come up with a reasonable explanation. Again, the fact that also takes time does not make it a task Congress cannot arrange.
So, the entire formulation of a “regulation” (extension of a law) is something Congress is fully capable of doing, and is even capable of getting competing opinions in the process instead of relying on a single stable of bureaucrats who think they and they alone know what’s best.
The problem the article does not address that I think needs to be addressed just as badly, goes beyond the formulation of “regulations”; it’s the enforcement powers of the federal agencies. They get to act as policeman, prosecutor, judge and jury all in one, with little recourse to a defendent who is presumed guilty, fined, relieved of property, required to do something or quit doing something, unable to defend themselves with benefit of the courts before any action is taken. The agencies are allowed to act first, reversing the innocent until proven guilty concept, and the business or individual has to sue to undo what the federal agency was allowed to do against them without any trial.
I want the federal agencies to have to go to court and prove their case against an individual or business, and I want them to pay the court costs, for everyone involved, when they lose.
Its going to be a lot harder to Kavanaugh a woman.
And never forget that he literally (using the real meaning of literally) put his political life at great risk to prevent Obama from appointing a Leftist Supreme Court judge.
Thus we got Constitutional Judge Gorsuch.
Check out Britt Grant.
Judge Grant makes the left soil themselves. If they hate her this badly, she must really be good.
Here's a link for an idea...
HOAs do now have limited powers then what they had decades ago, foreclosing for tall grass in a HOA would be unheard of, unless they fail to pay the dues as well.
But you signed on to those rules when you bought the place anyways.
I am thinking this might be a state thing on how much power an HOA has.
Generally correct, it is usually about dues. But it was not unheard of here in VIrginia until the HOA's were reigned in by the POA act. Before that act the board could meet in secret and hand out fines, and if you tried to protest the fines they would tack on penalties that could quickly get out of control. Now the due process for homeowners in enshrined in law. Some would even argue it went too far, but I don't think so.
They will make the shift without shame or remorse. You’re kidding yourself if you think the media will call them on it.
Yes, but the citizens of a given state can do something about their own bureaucRAT problem....the federals....not so much.
“ All the women skew Leftist over time.”
Maggie Thatcher didn’t.
Nonsense. If he selects a chaste nun, she’ll be accused of pimping out her whole convent.

I think it is worse then the feds
