I think it is like a preliminary ruling. They do that in cases where there is some sort of injunction requested... in this case, to have USAID functions restroted... and then they would later go on and hear the case in full.

Hmm, I don't think I've ever heard of judges using "likely" or "maybe". Are you sure this is a reliable source?

The judge seemed pretty confident that Musk has proven, by his own words, that he is in full control of DOGE and not just a special advisor as has been claimed.

We'll see how it plays out, if there's anything to play out at all. If most of these news sites are starting to incorporate AI, we're all in for a world of hurt as far as fake news goes - as if there wasn't enough of it already.

I agree with this. But hanging is a thing of the past.

Regarding republicans going after biden, i have not seen anybody go after someone like they've gone after trump. Democrats actually neglected important duties to go after trump, and this is verifiable by public records. They didn't do their jobs(ie show up to work and vote on
agendas, follow meeting agendas or even meet for rulings) so they could go after trump on several occasions.

That's because the media is actually publishing all of this. They were either told not to, or just didn't want to report all of the things the Republicans were going after the Biden administration for.

Other than that, the Democrats haven't done their jobs in the past (at least) 4 years, either. Why would they start now?

Nick

Treason can carry the death penalty.
Politicians have done political favors for china, russia and other countries for monetary gain for themselves and family members. For example, Russia and other countries paid money into american lobbying firms for politicians.

If we'd start hanging these fuckers instead ignoring it, we'd get rid
of the bad ones. Instead they become lifetime participants in our branches of govt and that is why everything sucks.

This is actually very common. Depedning on the type of case and the charges, the term is "preponderence of the evidence", and the "burden of proof" is not "beyond a reasonable doubt". If the burden needs to be beyond doubt, then the only two answers are yes/no. Otherwise (in about 80% of all cases), the burdenis lower and the ruling only needs to be it "likely happened".

If it's very common, that's probably why they get replaced and/or voted out so often.

That said, I'll "likely" not believe rulings like this, or take them seriously.

it's just a waste of time and it ties up shit in court until it's thrown out or not pursued. it's sandbagging.

It is how it is supposed to work. It is not a "waste of time", unless you don'tunderstand the system and misinterpret what is happening. Which I assume is thecase, based on your other comment, "the judge should be impeached for it". For
what? For doing his/her job the way it is supposed to be done, according to therules? You might not like the system or the rules of that system, and that is
fine. Change the rules instead of the penalizing people for obeying the rules as currently written.

Rule: judge must determine if evidence "suggests the accusation is likely to have occured".
Judge: It is likely to have occured.
MRO: You are sandbagging and must be romeved!!

Tell me you have no clue without telling me you have no clue.

Maybe there is a language barrier at work here, but as far as I thought, accepting a case as solid enough for further research was not "ruling".

Correct. It can also mean the judge believes the case is solid enough to implement an injunction, like to force the government to take the employees back and with backpay.
