Member since Dec-23-04
Behold the fiery disk of Ra!

Started with tournaments right after the first Fischer-Spassky set-to, but have long since given up active play in favour of poker.

In my chess playing days, one of the most memorable moments was playing fourth board on the team that won the National High School championship at Cleveland, 1977. Another which stands out was having the pleasure of playing a series of rapid games with Mikhail Tal on his first visit to the USA in 1988. Even after facing a number of titled players, including Teimour Radjabov when he first became a GM (he still gave me a beating), these are things which I'll not forget.

Fischer at his zenith was the greatest of all champions for me, but has never been one of my favourite players. In that number may be included Emanuel Lasker, Bronstein, Korchnoi, Larsen, Speelman, Romanishin, Nakamura and Carlsen, all of whom have displayed outstanding fighting qualities.

  perfidious: Gaetz willing to play any angle to deflect from his own misdeeds and serve his massa like the <good> little cuck he is:

<Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida has filed a complaint with the Inspector General’s Office of the Department of Justice alleging that special counsel Jack Smith’s effort to try former President Donald Trump amounts to election interference.

Gaetz is claiming that Smith’s efforts to push against any delays in Trump’s election interference trial are rooted in Smith’s desire to influence the presidential election.

“The witch hunt against President Trump by Attorney General Garland and Special Counsel Smith is a partisan exercise, and the American people know it!” Gaetz posted on X.

“Jack Smith’s attempt to speed up the trial against President Trump violates the DOJ’s rules and the law. His public comments and his office’s briefs before the Supreme Court demonstrate that he has no reason for his actions other than to unlawfully interfere in the 2024 presidential election,” he wrote.

BREAKING: Today I’m demanding the DOJ Inspector General Horowitz to investigate the election interference against President Donald J. Trump by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

The witch hunt against President Trump by Attorney General Garland and Special Counsel Smith is a partisan… pic.twitter.com/v5Ysg108BE

— Rep. Matt Gaetz (@RepMattGaetz) March 6, 2024

In the letter, Gaetz notes that the Justice Department’s Justice Manual says, “Law enforcement officers and prosecutors may never select the timing of public statements (attributed or not), investigative steps, criminal charges, or any other action in any matter or case for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party. Such a purpose, or the appearance of such a purpose, is inconsistent with the Department's mission and with the Principles of Federal Prosecution.”

Quoting Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s comment in a recent decision that America is in the “volatile season of a Presidential election,” Gaetz alleged that Smith’s push for a trial goes against Justice Department policy of avoiding actions that impact an election.

It is “the core of prohibited conduct that a purpose (not the purpose) of any official action of a prosecutor be to affect any election,” Gaetz wrote.

One brief from Smith “repeatedly urges ‘rapid’ review of the federal prosecution of Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump, and the incredible ‘public importance’ of the case, without once explicitly stating why the rapidity is warranted, or what the public importance is,” Gaetz wrote.

“Were there a legitimate, non-election related purpose for this request, these attorneys, who have filed in appeals courts many times, would have listed such. Since charges have been filed and the defendant himself is taking a legal position on timing and lodging various appeals, that justification cannot, for example, be the rights of the defendant under the Constitution or Speedy Trial Act,” Gaetz wrote.

“So, there can be only one conclusion: Special Counsel Jack Smith sees it as of paramount importance to hold a trial before the November 2024 election, but he is unable to explicitly say so, as such a justification is in violation of Departmental policy and law,” Gaetz wrote.

Gaetz called for a review of “compliance of the Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith with Departmental regulations, particularly related to investigatory and prosecutorial actions during an election season.”

“The precise scope of an investigation may be as narrow as interviewing the Special Counsel, and determining that he has a lawful purpose in seeking the expediting of his case against Donald Trump, and determining that he did not have the purpose of keying a trial date to the election calendar. Or it may be wider,” Gaetz wrote.

In his letter, Gaetz cited a column by Jack Goldsmith on Lawfare in which Goldsmith noted that unlike the need for speed in the recent ruling on a Colorado ruling that would have kept Trump off the ballot, “There is no such rationale here.

"Normally the Court, if it grants at this stage, would set the case for oral argument in April and decide the case by late June. If the Court goes faster, the only conceivable rationales for doing so would be the political ones that have motivated Smith to rush to trial, canvassed above.”

“We should at least be aware of the possible adverse consequences of Smith’s rush to trial. They potentially go far beyond a mere violation of a Justice Department rule," he wrote.

"If Trump is convicted and is seen to lose the election even in part because President Biden’s Justice Department violated norms in rushing Trump to trial (and in giving Trump inadequate time to prepare), then the trial, and the election outcome, could be deemed illegitimate and unfair by approximately half the country,” he wrote.>

  perfidious: <The announcement Tuesday from Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., that she won’t be running for re-election this year makes her the second vocal defender of the filibuster who’ll no longer be around to prevent any reforms to the antiquated maneuver. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who has stood with Sinema in being a roadblock to filibuster reform, announced he won’t be running for re-election in November.

On top of those announced departures, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a staunch obstructionist who has praised Sinema’s defense of the filibuster, will no longer be leading the Senate GOP. Depending on which party controls Washington come January, these three decisions could lead to a sea change in how the Senate operates.

Sinema, Manchin and McConnell have used sentimental terms like “respect for the Senate and its traditions” in opposing filibuster reform. But they have their own reasons for their opposition. Sinema, who believes that her appeal as a “moderate” requires bucking her colleagues, knows that her preferred form of dealmaking would take a nosedive if Democrats could legislate without the hindrance of getting 60 votes. The filibuster has given Manchin, a conservative Democrat from a deep red state, cover to avoid tough votes that his more liberal colleagues would have him take. McConnell leads a party whose goals don’t require passing major new laws and knows that changing the filibuster would vastly benefit Senate Democrats, who actually want to legislate.

Given the Republicans’ slim majority in the House and Democrats’ control of the Senate, a Joe Biden win in November could result in Democrats’ controlling both chambers and the White House. That would mean Democrats get a second chance to pass some of the legislation that Manchin’s and Sinema’s fidelity to the filibuster helped block during Biden’s first two years in office, like a massive voting rights package to shore up democratic safeguards and an effort to codify abortion rights. Importantly, Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., who’s running to replace Sinema, is an advocate of filibuster reform.

Even without a trifecta, should the GOP retain control of the House and Democrats hold on to the Senate, at minimum, the chance for shifting to a so-called talking filibuster goes up if Manchin and Sinema aren’t around. Under a proposal championed by reformers, it would take only a simple majority, or half plus one, to end debate unless a senator in the minority is holding control of the floor, usually through a lengthy speech. Currently, most bills require 60 senators’ support to overcome potential filibusters, despite needing only majorities to be passed into law.

But whether a total abolition of the filibuster becomes a major issue again will depend on who’s serving as president — not down Pennsylvania Avenue in the White House but in the Senate. If it’s Vice President Kamala Harris, that would mean Biden remains in office and is able to veto any stray conservative legislation that might slip through. It also means she would provide Democrats with a majority in the event of an evenly split Senate and would be able to cast any tiebreaking vote on possible changes to the filibuster rule, something she said in 2022 she “cannot wait to do.”...>

Rest ta foller....

  perfidious: More on obstructionism by fiat:

<....But if former President Donald Trump is sworn in again next year, even if he lacks the backing of a GOP-controlled Senate, Democrats might be hesitant to touch the filibuster to safeguard against his wildly authoritarian agenda. And given the likelihood that Trump would renew his demand that the legislative filibuster go the same way as the filibuster against judicial nominees, whoever serves as McConnell’s replacement will have outsized influence over the caucus’ direction.

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, who, as GOP whip, is McConnell’s deputy, has made it very clear that he is dead set against abolishing the legislative filibuster. His main opponent, former No. 2 Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, has been less vocal on the matter but hasn’t given much of an indication that he’d back even minor reforms to the cloture rule. But on the off chance Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., or another MAGA-aligned candidate triumphs, that sort of long-term vision that McConnell used may fall by the wayside in favor of short-term gains for the GOP and earning Trump’s favor.

The political considerations at play here, though, shouldn’t outweigh the principles at stake. The filibuster isn’t a tool that fosters bipartisanship, as Sinema, Manchin, McConnell and others have claimed. The filibuster does nothing to disprove the clear evidence that Republicans are interested in compromise and bipartisanship only if it requires Democrats to move further to the right for nothing in return. Nor is it a necessary shield to protect the rights of the minority party. It is a relic of a bygone era that is meant to promote divisions, a supra-constitutional attack on the idea of majority rule. It has more often been the impediment to good governance than a bulwark against bad laws.

If the fear of MAGA-inspired bills’ passing the Senate is the only reason Democrats cling to the filibuster’s defense, I’d ask them: How do you square the Trumpian derision of norms and willingness to act outside the rule of law with the idea that the filibuster, a literal tool of oppression that exists only because the Senate wills it to, is going to save you?>
