This sounds like the status quo that existed before this ruling. Any president could plead the 5th to avoid answering questions about their motive.
I didn’t say it wasn’t a terrible situation. I truthfully answered the OPs question that it’s not Article 48 as there are still opportunities for review by the other branches of government.
These actions were already possible. Nothing has been granted that wasn’t already there, but now we know a president can’t be sued/charged for official acts after they leave office. And it appears the burden of proof is, as always, up to the prosecutors to prove. So, once again, the courts will have to establish precedence over what they consider to be official and unofficial.
The president’s power is still checked via judicial review and congressional impeachment.
Germany could have disavowed the Zimmerman Telegram and avoided or postponed the U.S. entering The Great War, but they fucking owned that shit.
Right. All I remember from the marketing material, even the bespoke website, was an image of a Sentinel. Seeing that was enough for me to avoid all reviews, but I did visit that website a few more times and still had no idea what the movie was about. Saw it opening night. Actually I was a bit disappointed by the premise, seemed very derivative. Still a great movie tho.
Go away. ‘Baten.
Keep in touch with former colleagues who you’d want to work with again. At least touch base once a year, get lunch together if you can. Talk about what you’re working on. A network really helps if you ever decide to go contract or start your own thing.
Not cultivating my network.

You’re right. Just sad to see this being the highest rated comment on something that I really didn’t expect to have at all to do with religion.
Wow, top voted reply. Damn Lemmy is cynical. There are many people out there doing God’s work caring for each other for no recognition, no reward. And certainly there are many folks out there too that make things look really bad, and the media loves to tell that story, but don’t for a moment think that that’s every Christian.
Hey pretty, don’t you wanna take a ride with me 🎶
Gotta imagine there are a few more surprises in store for the convention.
