Washington, D.C. The House Judiciary Committee today approved by voice vote the Judiciary Reform, Organization and Operational Modernization (ROOM) Act of 2018, H.R. 6755. This bill, authored by Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Subcommittee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), increases the number of federal district court judges by adopting the 2017 district court judgeship recommendations of the Judicial Conference in their entirety and includes several measures designed to improve the operation of the federal court system.
The U.S. federal court system is composed of one Supreme Court, 13 Courts of Appeals, 94 District Courts, and several other smaller courts. To operate the district court system, Congress has currently authorized 663 federal judgeships plus 10 temporary judgeships. Every other year, the Judicial Conference submits its recommendations to Congress on how many additional judgeships are needed in the various judicial districts based upon caseloads. The ROOM Act includes the current recommendation of the Judicial Conference to add 52 new permanent district court judgeships and to convert 8 of the 10 existing temporary district court judgeships to permanent status.
Additionally, the ROOM Act includes several measures to increase transparency in the federal court system. The legislation addresses the outdated technology associated with the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) service run by the Judicial Branch. The ROOM Act also requires Internet video streaming of appellate arguments for circuit courts, requires same day Internet audio streaming for the Supreme Court, and requires public disclosure of the reasons for a recusal by a Justice of the Supreme Court.
Finally, the ROOM Act requires medical screening for federal judges in an effort to assist federal judges with recognizing potential medical issues.
(this last one is a kicker...I can think of a couple of Supremes that need a check up
And if liberalism were to be designated as a mental disorder...)
Couldn’t they have found a word that begins with a B instead of R? then it would be BOOM vs. ROOM ;)
All of the above. Plenty to go around. ;-)
Military tribunals are possibly on the horizon for some of the evildoers, not saying that there won’t be any in the right circumstances.

**** Use a slew of asterisks *****
Or maybe a Q of asterisks!

Cory the Book and she should be sitting in the time out chair...
Glad I could be of help. I don’t know if he was a troll or what, but he was a little rude and appeared out of nowhere to attack on something that he was wrong about.
Most hearty thanks for the html for dummies seminar!
You are the BEST!
I like it!!
I'd been quietly going berserk over the lack of apparent progress against the DS until I considered....
Just exactly who is going to announce that, say Podesta got run down to Gitmo and has been sitting in a cell there since last December?
The MSM?
Would Podesta have his legal team throw a presser to break the news? Or would someone at the FBI leak to the NYSlime and they'd print it?

JMHO there could be lots of black hats in jail or on their way there right now and the only way the public's going to know about it is when some amateur internet sleuth posts a picture of Black Hat Number 187's luxury penthouse apartment with a Foreclosed notice on the front door.
Besides, if the MSM actually began announcing anything like that most of us would run by the perp's digs to double check anyway, right?
The significance being that the surveillance was even MORE ILLEGAL before the warrant was obtained.
I have been wondering why not even our friendly commentators mention that, aside from trying to get “evidence” against members of the Trump campaign, the ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE was simply CHEATING by attempting to spy on Trump campaign intelligence, allies, tactics and strategy.
Most Americans have a sense of fair play, and despise CHEATING.
The number of inmates at Gitmo has not changed since POTUS took office.
24/7 hurricane coverage would soften the booms.
I’d have to see the EO before I agreed to your premise. A tribunal is run by a military judge, not an Article III judge. Not appointed and confirmed, but coming through the ranks. The prosecutors and defense counsel are JAGs. I am not aware of a way a US Attorney or Assistant US Attorney can try a case in a military tribunal. The rules of procedure are completely different. There is a jury of officers that decide the cases, for one thing. I could see an EO that had DOJ attorneys refer defendants to a military tribunal, or that had military justice officials send a defendant to the US attorney, but not one that had them working to prosecute cases together. It would make no sense.
If you find something that Q said that made you think that Huber and some Colonel are going to be double teaming the cabal, please send it to me and I’ll take a look. Til then, I think your premise is wrong, in this case.
Yes, did I not mention that?
What are you saying? That a US Attorney can indict a criminal and then the criminal can be tried by a military tribunal if the crime fits into a military context? That is not surprising. What would be surprising, and that I doubt very much would happen, and which is what everyone seems to think would happen, is that DOJ attorneys would prosecute military tribunals, or that JAGs would be in US DIstrict court prosecuting military defendants. The two systems are separate, and would not be able to work together in a trial. You’re in one or the other.
I think people are confusing two branches of government working together to decide who will do what with two branches merging into one.
