"The U.S. Department of Justice-including the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, an appointed U.S. special counsel and the solicitor general, all of whom were involved in different ways in the criminal prosecutions underlying these cases and are opposing Mr. Trump’s constitutional and statutory claims — can petition the other seven justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves not as a matter of grace but as a matter of law."

@seachanger I agree with the lehal analysis in the article (and even more so with the urgency behind it). The problem is with enforcement of those laws cited. It's not up to Biden or his administration.

Recusal is either done when the judge/justice takes the initiative to recuse themselves or when a party before them makes a motion to request recusal. If that motion is denied by the judge, then it can be appealed to a higher court.
But there's no higher court than the USSC. 1/2

@seachanger In this case, if those two justices won't recuse themselves, it's up to those 7 other justices to force them. I don't see them doing so, do you?

@enobacon I'm far from an expert at this stuff. But fwiw this rear photo just looks like it's fairly low resolution. Could be settings on the camera if they have any options? Or just a lower-quality camera in general.

Why is my boxwood like this? Do they all get this big eventually? Rhododendron for scale 😂

@enobacon I can't speak for the living plant, but FWIW the wood is HIGHLY sought after for wood working hand tools. If you ever cut off a large-ish chunk... 😬

I'm thinking air-to-air heat pumps are not actually a great answer to the heating problem. Blowing around warm air isn't terribly comfortable to start with, and even if you have an inverter, you can't lower the outlet temperature so much or it feels chilly, so it has to run hotter in cycles, which means short-cycling, which means not running when you have free power from solar & also needing higher currents (for the hotter cycles) while running when you don't have solar, and the source is cold

@enobacon geothermal well is the answer! If you've got $60k to spend in the well that is

I'm pretty mad at you today, Portland. 😡 This city has wholly undeserved reputation for progressive politics. Exhibit A: voting for a fucking Republican for DA. Fuck every one of you reactionary assholes.

I'm so tired of this city. If I wanted to live with a bunch of reactionary assholes, I could live in any other city in this country.

"The ultimate test to prove what cars have done to the American psyche only requires that you walk out your front door. Take a photo with your phone. Now highlight in red the places in which it would be fully legal for a car to strike and kill you. Now highlight in yellow the places in which a car could strike and kill you and you would have to make a legal case that it was not your fault. Now highlight in green places where you believe you are safe from cars." - Dan Sheehan #fuckcars

A recent new hire at work messaged me earlier this week on Teams to ask "Do you use Teams?" I replied yes. But based on the times that they've messaged me since then (lunch hour when I show as "unavailable" as well as after hours) I think what they MEANT to ask was "are you instantly available at all hours?" No. No I am not.

Hey PDX folks! What local organization(s) do you think is/are doing the most effective job at combating homelessness? I'd like to donate a portion of my new raise.
