If convicted and removed the governor can appoint a new justice.

But...

The fun part is they don't have to convict, under WI law if a justice is impeached they are barred from trying cases until the Senate tries them.

If they move forward my money is on impeachment and delay, since that kills the majority (that the people of WI voted for, on the basis that she opposed the horrific district maps) and everyone's job is safe for another election cycle.

Fluffy kitten memories from August 2018, one of the litters I fostered. Most of the kittens so far were either born feral or in this case mama cat was "surrendered" (left in a carrier outside of a pet store....).

All 5 kittens and mama are still doing great today though.

Reportedly 3 inches taller than I am, and only 10lbs heavier. But he probably couldn't stretch one of my shirts enough to even get it over his moobs.

Bummer that it looks like we lost a bunch of top notch comments in one of the original threads...but to answer one question I tried to reply to right as the other threads were replaced with the megathread.

Judging by #1's links to phone calls to senators/reps on 6JAN I'd say that's Rudy. Since he's a bumbling idiot and called the wrong numbers we have the voicemail he intended to leave for Tuberville.

Reports say Eastman's lawyers confirmed he is #2, but I couldn't find a link so we'll have to wait for confirmation on that one.

Edit: Looking at page 30 I would assume #4 is Jeffrey Clark, as WH council was trying to dissuade him from taking the role of acting AG.

Edit again: My guess for #5 is Kenny Chesebro, with a name like that I shouldn't have forgotten about him but he was critical in the fake elector plot.

Last edit(?): Boris Epshteyn might be behind door #6, putting this in comments and I'll leave it if I'm wrong!

But you'd also think someone who is running for president would want to do whatever possible to get those 'found not guilty' headlines as soon as possible.

Ya know... If they were confident that 'not guilty' was the most likely outcome.

If he's found guilty of everything in this indictment the sentences will be served concurrently. All the attention grabbing headlines claiming he's 'facing 327 years in prison" are bunk.

But in his case there's no difference between 15-20 and 327.

Saw Oppenheimer tonight, the number of people wearing bright pink in the theater lobby was a sight to behold.

It was really cool actually.

'We have a lot of theories but no evidence'

So they didn't even vet the theories...and Rudy was just "repeating what he was told" because that's a good defense. But they're saying this lawsuit was only filed to embarrass Rudy.

Previous leaks included info on the Pro, same larger screen and 3 camera setup. However this time around the screen is rumored to be flat instead of curved on the sides.

Just a note about the injunction, it will not survive on appeal. The judge in this case stretched things pretty thin in his argument for the emergency injunction pending trial in this case. Lumping together government agencies reporting TOS violations with other elected officials threatening section 230 into one was just silly. Episode 771 of the Opening Arguments podcast does a better job of explaining the injunction and ongoing case than I ever could.

Meta/Twitter/whoever are also protected by the 1st Amendment when it comes to deciding what they allow on their platform.

A law or ruling that forces social media companies to carry specific speech is unconstitutional.
