So, what kind of avenues can the plaintiffs pursue to get more clarity on the Supreme Court ruling?

At some point I expect a strongly worded letter.

I'm still trying to figure out any sort of justification for not just bringing the guy home other than pure abject maliciousness.

Almost none of the people there were charged with any crimes, other than the misdemeanor of being in the US without permission. They should return and then treat each of them as the law demands.

Judge ain’t having it

I know, I'm going out on a limb here. But usually there has been some legal theory to most of the administration's attempts. I disagree with most of them, but I'm also ok with different interpretations of the law and...

I mean it's not likely to work, but I prefer that to threatening to annex them through military or economic pressure.

Is there a reasonable legal justification for this? Also, what's the declared logic of the government at this point in time? They detained and deported a man with full legal rights in the United States and shipped...

It helps that it was unanimous. It also should be obvious, I hate that I wasn't certain it would go unanimously.

Dearborn's endorsement of Trump will be one of the biggest political self-own's in history.

As @efil4 said, not within my 401k plan. But yes, outside your retirement accounts you trigger capital gains tax.... long term capital gains are taxed at 0, 15 or 20% depending on your income level. Short term...

If it's within traditional IRA, no.Imagine 401k same.Not sure on Roth IRA.

Red lobster is off the table. I did not sell yesterday...

Come on, this is silly. Yes, members of Congress trading on non-public information obtained in the course of their work is a problem and should be strictly controlled. But members of Congress don't move markets or...

If this run up continues to get us close to our previous highs I'll probably sell off again - unless I think we're on a more stable predictable path.The previous system we had was close to optimal for corporate...

yeah... mostly luck, I didn't anticipate this kind of move. but i'm taking the family to red lobster tonight.

It's wishful thinking right now that the fed would do an emergency rate cut. They still don't know the long term effects of this tariff insanity... if they stick we'll have slower growth (or negative growth) and...

i think so - i cant find any corroborating article that the Fed plans to cut rate today

Yeah, I get it. I think there is an essential issue that has been at play on a high level of intensity for several decades. That issue is government being the “problem”. Government is not and never has been the...

Is this like the rumor 2 days ago that tariffs were going to be paused?

Just a gentle reminder- the judge was American. His parents moved here from Mexico IIRC. To Trump that means the judge is Mexican however.

Yeah, I expect that we have further to go down, but I don't know where it is... and I'm ok with just taking the sure thing. Technically what I did was "dumb" b/c timing the market is tough... but it was so frothy...

so, i had moved almost my entire portfolio to cash a couple weeks ago (i had mentioned it here). I'm probably going to push it back in now. If tariffs stick long term, the market will decline further, but if they do...

Interesting observation - the rest of the world doesn't have to follow with tariffs on each other, it's only a USA issue. So yes, they get the USA tariffs but not from everyone else . . . but the USA gets them from...

They are betting the tariffs will be lifted either before they even take effect or soon after. There's an element of theater to all of this, and the market is trying to figure out how much is posturing and how much...

This worth a listen from an economist.The part about stability vs chaos is important. Whoever owns their own business would agree with this. Who would you rather hire? A worker who is there 99% of the time but...

Friedman’s last line is brilliant. It is the point I’ve been saying is undercovered. “The operation of the free market is so essential not only to promote productive efficiency, but even more to foster peace and...

He's not the only Republican who sees it. The question again is what are they going to do about it?

I think someone already posted how the clowns came about their numbers, but here it is explained.
