Hmm. Here in the Czech Republic, the president is immune to prosecution during his tenure, but can be prosecuted afterwards for illegal acts that weren't committed during performance of his duties.

During tenure, he can only be impeached for anti-constitutional acts, and the only punishment if found guilty is removal from office.

All in all, it sounds quite similar to this SCOTUS ruling, but of course, the consequences for the world are mitigated by the fact that globally, our president is a very, very small player.
The substantive difference is that we don't need to look for evidence of meat-eating communities and tribes. They're all around.
Then, what are american solidiers doing in Jordan dying out there. The reality is that we are sending troops using loopholes, and that's costing such unnecessary complexity.
I wouldn't call that a failure mode.

The US has a long history of relying purely on executive latitude and good faith to get things done. We now have a bad faith actor who wants back in the Oval Office with far fewer restrictions on his power. A lawsuit or criminal charge would absolutely be a good remedy in that situation.

Furthermore, it's the implementation of a system. What the justices of the majority said today is "there is no system". When there is no system to deal with problems, then humans make them up ad-hoc, which usually results in violence, if history is any indicator - and it is.

I hear the same shit a lot. IRL, and in right wing media. “They don’t seem to get that if they can prosecute Trump, we can prosecute Biden and Hillary for [any of several shaky charges]”

No, no: we do get that. We just think that’s a good thing. If you have the evidence (you don’t, or we’d have seen, like, any of it at all) then by all means, prosecute the absolute shit out of them!
Renewable power is now being deployed rapidly and poses an active threat to the future profits of the fossil fuel industry, whereas before it was considered harmless. Ergo a massive PR-firm funded push to politically demonize renewables amongst those people are most susceptible to the message (and with the right electoral results to control the Federal government, those voters are all you need.)

What people seem not to understand is that it doesn't matter what the US does anymore. China has already kicked off a process by which renewables and storage become so cheap that fossil sources won't be able to compete, and they're deploying those sources at an insane rate. The rest of Asia and Europe aren't far behind. The US might be able to bury our heads in the sand for a bit, but all it will do is doom us as a geopolitical competitor.

Sotomayor laid out some examples in her dissent, such as assassinating political rivals, staging a coup and taking bribes for favours.
Because there isn’t? Just frame the assassination as fighting domestic terrorists or some other nonsense.

Design for Rigorous Configuration
Kind of. From CNN: https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-immunity-suprem...

> Donald Trump’s legal team will likely use Monday’s SCOTUS opinion as they challenge the New York hush money criminal verdict itself on appeal, a source familiar with their thinking tells CNN.

> Trump’s team thinks the SCOTUS option could be used to challenge portions of Hope Hicks testimony as well as some of the tweets entered in as evidence, according to the source familiar.

> CNN earlier reported the Trump team sees the opinion as “a major victory” because in addition to using it to try to get charges tossed, they can also use this opinion to get evidence related to official acts tossed in all cases — not just federal — which can hurt prosecutors’ ability to prove what charges are left.
We've made it very clear for decades that the President can commit acts of war without declaring it. Syria, Lybia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and dozens of other hotspots around the world.
That hasn't stopped any president in the last 60 years from using the Armed Forces to conduct a war -- or "police action" -- if you prefer.
Not sure how much I like this. With this algorithm, the user would never see 100% displayed, because at that point the UI would change to remove the progress bar entirely. Whereas seeing 100% feels oddly satisfying, even if inaccurate.
But you could just ride harder with a smoother chain, or like, carry a pack of gum with you? If you carried an extra water bottle, it'd be orders of magnitude harder for you than the difference the dirty chain makes. This is hands down one of the silliest things I've ever seen discussed in my decades of being a cyclist and working at bike shops, etc. If you want to exercise there's a million better options than purposefully neglecting your bike.
Re: war analogy. Executing all allied generals at the end of the war would enable opponents who elevate winning generals at the end of the war. Guess which side would win?

Doesn't this difference exist de facto?

Trump murdering his business partner at a dinner because they had a fallout is pretty clearly unofficial, while Trump ordering assassination of the Tyrant of Ruritania is official, albeit probably immoral and/or dangerous to boot.

Of course the grey zone between those two poles is going to be pretty wide.

Email: kengruven+hn@gmail.com

I left the software industry several years ago, after 15+ years at a keyboard, and have been happily making a living out in the real world building physical things. I still write programs for fun -- mostly Racket or Clojure, or occasionally JavaScript when I want it to run in a web browser.

This spring, I was injured and had to take some time off. I'm in occupational therapy to get back into shape, and I'm only slowly getting back to work.

I'd be interested in part-time / temporary work. If I enjoy working for your company, it could conceivably be part-time indefinitely. It doesn't have to be programming: I love finding bugs and writing bug reports, for example.
What is going on in our nation? its frustrating thing after thing.

I honestly, need to unplug from news, and just focus on nature.
People forget that Obama actually did some questionable things too. He greenlit drone strikes that killed at least 2 Americans, not to mention civilian casualties. And he was the president that the 'holding camps' at the border (not sure what to call them) were started.

No one (that I know of) seriously thought he should go to prison for those acts, but honestly the argument seems pretty easy to be made without some sort of immunity.
> "The President is not above the law."

What does that even mean if it's impossible to prosecute the President? What does that even mean?
Agreed. Who is promoting this view? If they are, that’s not the content that’s getting into my internet bubble.

To me, keyboard dog was always just one half of the “two states of a programmer” meme, with the other half being “I am a digital god” or “I am the one”. It’s a relatable celebration of the agony and the ecstasy of the failure-experiment-breakthrough-epiphany cycle we experience when we do any coding outside of our comfort zone, or have to debug a particularly tricky issue. Every programmer I know immediately vibes with that meme, seniority notwithstanding.

Software engineer focused on leadership and process automation. For the past 12 years I have been leading teams, designing solutions & architectures. I mostly work on backend with APIs built on NodeJS & AWS but I keep in touch with React web & mobile. Love teaching juniors about SW design, patterns and coding best practices. I'm outdated regarding C# and Java since it's been long.

In Brazil because of my experience I'm used to be a team manager but I'd like to focus more on the engineering side. With foreign companies doing remote work I have experience being hired as a contractor.

I have family currently living in England so I'm open to moving there, or close.
Do you have a source? I didn’t find this in the article, could you add a quote - or link if it’s from elsewhere?
The ruling is extremely wishy washy about what is official vs unofficial, and keeps saying that it is very hard to determine, and even prohibits prosecutors from using certain legal tactics to determine if something is official or unofficial.
In part, yes. But it's certainly not the whole of the issue and you are purposefully misrepresenting the nature of litigation here.
> I'd say that "pattern matching" is unification, where there are no free variables on the right side and the left side is the "pattern" to match.

Plus the restriction that the left hand side must be linear, that is, must not contain any variable more than once. So you usually can't write a pattern match like

match list with
| [x, y, x] -> ...

but languages with pattern matching usually allow you to add side conditions like this:

match list with
| [x, y, x'] if x = x' -> ...
> The President’s authority to pardon, in other words, is “conclusive and preclusive,” “disabling the Congress from acting upon the subject.”

> Congress cannot act on, and courts cannot examine, the President’s actions on subjects within his “conclusive and preclusive” constitutional authority. It follows that an Act of Congress—either a specific one targeted at the President or a generally applicable one—may not criminalize the President’s actions within his exclusive constitutional power. Neither may the courts adjudicate a criminal prosecution that examines such Presidential actions. We thus conclude that the President is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for conduct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority.

Further evidence is that Sotomayors makes the claim in no uncertain terms and that the majority makes zero effort to dispute it.
Yep, it's a rough analogy, not a perfect match.

And, given the state of policing and justice in the US, civil litigation is often the only way to get any relief for over-zealous policing. And QI makes that bar even higher than it should be.
Absolutely 100% what I was thinking hahahah. Also that article also states something about the resale value going down..... ummmm .... going down? How is that possible? I would assume the current resale value is $0. Who on earth would buy a used ev from a company that doesn't even exist anymore?
Does she not understand the difference?

Explain the difference.
No. It seems unlikely that the drone pilot would have all of that information beyond where the target was, that would be necessary to make an informed decision about participating in an extrajudicial execution of an American citizen.
>As mentioned elsewhere here, is -D sufficient to avoid exploitation, or is -e necessary as well?

https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/V_9_8_P1/ss...

sshd.c handles no_daemon (-D) and log_stderr (-e) independently. log_stderr is what is given to log_init in log.c that gates the call to syslog functions. There is a special case to set log_stderr to true if debug_flag (-d) is set, but nothing for no_daemon.

I can't test it right now though so I may be missing something.
Just call it necessary for national security with some BS reasoning and thin or made up evidence and suddenly it’s an official act. There are so many ways a president could twist pretty much anything into an official act.
Official act isn't defined, so it doesn't say that.

Your last paragraph is closer to accurate, except a president doesn't just "appoint" a judge. They have to be voted in by the senate. So, if the president is a crook and nominates a crook and the senate is full of crooks and vote yes to have said crook become a judge, then yes really bad stuff can happen. But if the president is a crook and the majority of the senate are crooks, it's already all over.
And you’re are free to sue the government in that case. The DOJ won’t prosecute the president for ordering something like that even after he leaves office..

> It would be possible to just keep throwing bullshit charges at a former president either until one sticks or until their resources to fight off an unending string of legal battles is exhausted.

I can't make up my mind if this is "movie plot threat" or not. Has it happened to other important figures before?

And can the prosecution be punished for this kind of behaviour?

Then again, I guess if you can shop around for (politically-appointed) judges, it wouldn't be too hard to find a judge to indulge some bullshit prosecution.

This is explicitly about the POTUS being immune from prosecution for official acts like commanding ST6 to assassinate someone. Fortunately in some cases, unfortunately in others, semantic wordplay akin to “could god microwave a burrito so hot even they couldn’t eat it” has little effect in the court system. That is to say, semantic gotchas like “but actually it couldn’t be an official act because the very act is against the constitution” have no sway.

I think this was tried somewhat recently. The counter-argument was "actually let's not impeach. Let's just wait for the next election and see what the voters think. Voting is the real impeachment."

We had an attempted coup already. That this case was directly related to. I don’t even mean the very public storming of Congress during the certification of electors, but multiple attempts by the then-President to subvert the election process.

The guy who did it’s probably about to be President again and just got a lot more legal cover.
