I'm Still Standing

What ingredients come to mind when you think of cases before the Supreme Court? One might opine controversial issues or high stakes litigation. At a case level one might say circuit splits or elite attorneys. Still, there are more elementary components of litigation mentioned in Article III and they start with a case or controversy.  Central to this concept is standing – that a plaintiff suffered…

"The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office." (Article III, Section 1) [emphasis added]

Alexander Hamilton would be outraged to know that the current Supreme Court justices assume the Constitution gives them lifetime appointments — regardless of their behavior. He wouldn’t understand how any justice could overlook Article III, Section I that states that judges and justices “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour.”

In the above commentary, Jack Jordan makes an excellent case that the Founders' intentions regarding the tenure of federal justices and judges has been grossly misinterpreted--and by justices who claim to be "originalists." Below are some excerpts:

A favorite falsehood by fake originalists (including those on SCOTUS) is that federal judges have “life tenure” or “lifetime appointments” (essentially the right to employment for life). Nothing explicitly or implicitly in our Constitution supports that myth. Often, so-called originalists who assert such falsehoods are lying to us about our Constitution.  [...] Our Constitution (Article III) strongly and clearly emphasized that all federal “Judges,” i.e., “of the supreme [court] and [all] inferior Courts shall” (and may) “hold their Offices” only “during good Behaviour.” This particular principle was discussed repeatedly and in multiple respects during the debates over whether the people should ratify our Constitution. Such discussions are evidence of what the people actually did ratify. Such discussions are evidence of what the people (including Federalists and Antifederalists) understood our Constitution meant. Some of the most obvious and emphatic statements were by Alexander Hamilton in The Federalist No. 78. Hamilton emphasized that some state “constitutions” already “established GOOD BEHAVIOR as the tenure of their judicial offices” and our Constitution “would have been inexcusably defective, if it had [failed to include] this important feature of good government.” “The standard of good behavior for the continuance in office of the judicial magistracy” was carefully (and repeatedly) chosen to be “one of the most valuable of the modern improvements in the practice of government.” [color/ emphasis added]

[See more excerpts below the cut.]

[...] Hamilton also emphasized that judges are “servant[s]” or “representative[s]” of “the people.” We the People used our Constitution (Article III) to impose the “standard of good behavior” on judges as an “excellent barrier to the encroachments and oppressions of [all our] representative[s]” and “to secure a steady, upright, and impartial administration of the laws” by all our public servants. [...] Repeatedly, Hamilton and James Madison emphasized similar principles. Ours is “a republic, where every magistrate ought to be personally responsible for his behavior in office.”  The Federalist No. 70 (Hamilton).  Having “courts composed of judges holding their offices” only “during good behavior” is a “powerful means” for ensuring “the excellences of republican government may be retained and its imperfections lessened or avoided.”  The Federalist No. 9 (Hamilton).  “The tenure by which the judges are to hold their places, is, as it unquestionably ought to be, that of good behavior.”  The Federalist No. 39 (James Madison).  Only “judges” who “behave properly, will be secured in their places for life.”  The Federalist No. 79 (Hamilton). In The Federalist No. 81 (Hamilton) also addressed a particular form of bad judicial behavior that is remarkably common among some SCOTUS justices: “judges” committing “deliberate usurpations” of “authority” that was not delegated to them by our Constitution. Hamilton also emphasized “the important constitutional check which the power of instituting impeachments” (by the House of Representatives) “and of determining upon them” (in a trial by the Senate) “would give to” Congress as “the means of punishing [the] presumption” of judges usurping powers that the Constitution did not give judges or courts (or to Congress, which creates all federal courts below SCOTUS). [color/ emphasis added]

So the Founders expected federal judges and justices who were not showing "good behavior" to be removed.

This also suggests that they would have expected the Supreme Court to develop a code of ethics that had actual teeth, in addition to the institutional check against bad judicial behavior that they put in place by allowing Congress to impeach corrupt justices.

Unfortunately, the Founders didn't expect that in the future one party in Congress (the Republicans) would be so corrupt that there is no way they would ever impeach the equally corrupt right-wing "politicians in robes" on the current Supreme Court.

Still, anytime a justice asserts that they have tenure for life in an interview, the interviewer might want to remind them about that "good behavior" stipulation in Article III, and ask them how they are making sure they are fulfilling that requirement for their continued tenure.

Oliver Willis at Daily Kos:

Mike Davis, an adviser to Donald Trump who is said to be in the running to serve as his U.S. attorney general, has issued a violent threat against New York Attorney General Letitia James. In an appearance on conservative pundit Benny Johnson’s podcast, Davis said, “Let me just say this to big Tish James: I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term.” He added, “Listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”

James is best known for successfully filing a civil lawsuit against Trump for financial fraud. Trump lost the case and received a judgment of $355 million after it was determined that he lied for years about his financial status to secure loans.

On Tuesday, James was reelected to her position and in a press conference yesterday she said her office was “prepared to fight back” against any abuse of the law from the incoming Trump administration. Davis is the founder of the Article III Project, an advocacy group that wants to make the judiciary more conservative, or rather “a hell of a lot more conservative,” Davis told Politico. He also has a history of incendiary, threatening remarks. Speaking last month about legal proceedings that have occurred involving Trump, Davis said “retribution is a key component of justice.”

MAGA fascist c-sucker Mike Davis threatened New York AG Letitia James (D) with prison time for her prosecutions of Criminal-Elect Donald Trump.

DEMECIA CIVIL WAR ON THE HORIZON!

The latest reports from Demecia have come in, and it's not looking good, folks.

After the confirmed assassination of King Jarvan Lightshield III, his son and successor. The now King, Jarvan Lightshield IV, has made a declaration that any and all mages and potential mages will be subjected to registration and regular report ins. Or at least that is what the public announcement was.

Recent reports have shown a different reality altogether. Anonymous sources have reported mages, being arrested on the street and dragged away without their rights being delivered to them.

It has also been reported that those housing mages or potential mages, such as friends, family, and even landlords and ladies, have also been subjected to the same treatment.

King Jarvan IV originally stated that the decision to have mages report in for registration, was a bid to ease the mind of "everyday civillians" as well as root out the supposed second conspirator in King Jarvan Lightshield III assassination.

But these recent arrests have pointed at the main motivation behind Jarvan IV actions, as nothing more than a grief-stricken son using his fathers death as an excuse to lay blame upon the heads of those he has held in contempt his entire life.

Jarvan IV has never made it a secret on his opinions of mages and magic, a stark contrast to his father who was working towards improving the lives of his magical inclined subjects as well as change the minds of those who have stubbornly clung to their bigoted opinions.

Let me as you folks. Who was the one to discover the late Kings body? Jarvan IV.

Who was the one to benefit and ascend to power off or the late Kings death? Jarvan IV.

Now am I saying that Jarvan Lightshield IV orcastrated his own father's death just to ascend the throne and bring down the hammer upon those who are guilty of nothing else then being born with magic.

No. I can recognise grief when I see it. However, where is this evidence of a second conspirator?

All we have are the words of Jarvan IV and Magistrate Tianna Crownsguard, a woman who has been advocating for the detainment of mages for years.

Demecia is a proud nation, too proud. Their backwards way of thinking has been a point of concern with the rest of Runeterra and Valoran for years, and it seems that Demecias proud as punch nature is going to finally tear apart the very nation they adore.

As of now, Demecia officials have called a ban on mages leaving the country. They have declared any and all mages and their families attempting to leave, including those visiting the country, who will be treated with suspicions and suspects of terrorism or conspirators.

I'm no clairvoyant. But if things continue on like this folks, then I see more than just civil war coming to Demecia.

Even now, Noxus has made moves to strengthen their borders and have announced their willingness to allow those wishing to migrate away from the coming conflict to take residence within their empire.

Keep your peepers peeping folks more updates coming soon.

Princess Anne has been handed a starring role by the King for his coronation in honour of her years of unwavering loyalty.

The Princess Royal will feature in the procession as the prestigious “Gold-Stick-in-Waiting”, a position historically handed to a person entrusted with the personal safety of the sovereign.

As a “personal aide-de-camp” to His Majesty, Anne will travel on horseback behind the new King and Queen after they are crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

As Charles and Camilla ride in the Gold State Coach back to Buckingham Palace, Anne will lead the larger procession featuring 6,000 armed services personnel.

The privilege dates back to the 15th century in Tudor times, when two officers - a Gold Stick and a Silver Stick, were placed close to the sovereign to protect him or her from danger.

Louis Tomlinson continues to explore his creative nature away from music with his clothing label, 28, dropping its third capsule collection. And as with the founder, football’s influence is once again felt throughout.

Those of a certain generation will know Louis Tomlinson as one of the member’s of Uber-popular boy band, One Direction. But there’s so much more to the Doncaster-born artist, and he’s really beginning to establish himself beyond music. A big part of his creative character is poured into 28, his lifestyle clothing label, which itself reflects Tomlinson’s roots and deep connections with football. Drop 3 from 28 picks up right where Drop 2 left off, picking up the pace to showcase a new level of sophistication in product and aesthetic.

The collection is an iteration of previous drops, but with a modern and elegant twist, exuding the ‘uptown attitude’. Featuring the ever popular football jerseys – of which both long-sleeved and short-sleeved versions make a return – and track jackets, this new collection features a new crowd pleaser; the Black Nylon MA1 bomber jacket, adding a fresh dimension to the 28 lineup. 

This iteration’s jerseys come in two versions, covering the ‘home’ and ‘away’ requirements. The palette includes calm and confident hues like lavender and creams in dual-paneled, long-sleeved collared shirts, and an anthracite grey short-sleeve with a half cab zip. That’s paired with the oversized angular checkerboard full-zip training track tops in bold lavender and black cubist blocks for a complete set.
