I still can't get over the fact that nobody asked in oral argument in the immunity cases why Thomas and Alito (and maybe Roberts) were participating since they should be disqualified after the November 13, 2023 ethics order. https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/11/the-new-scotus-code-of-conduct/
28 U.S. Code § 455 - Disqualification of justice, judge, or magistrate judge
(a)Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.
When the high court becomes corrupted Daniel it means that the legal system is, intentionally being caused to fall apart, in this case through fascism and in this case through religion.
Merrick Garland was vetted to Obama by Sen Orrin Hatch D UT, If you have any memory you will know that Hatch was the most right wing of senators at the time. Obama wanted a win, and thought that a SCOTUS nominee, vetted by a far right Sen would get approved by the Senate. Mitch didn't appoint him, because he didn't want to give Obama a win.
Garland was also an employee of the Federalist Society, served 10 times as a moderator
I am not going to do the work for you, do your own google, the links are there.
Trump in his last two weeks in office, signed executive order 13957, which created Schedule F civil service, by embedding them in cabinets and forcing out, incumbents, by making them at will. and then appointed federalist and right wing ideologues to DOJ, DHS, DOD, DOJ, NSA..
Biden foolishly reverted this rule with EO 14005 thus taking away a tool he could have used to clean the DOJ stable, as well as NSA, DOD,DHS stable of leftover Trump manure.
The proof of the pudding is that Garland was not going to even investigate Trump, until he was shamed into by about 100 of his peers, in the form of an open letter (google it)
And finally the media started to wave their finger, only then almost 2 years after the Jan 6 committee hearings did he appoint Jack Smith.
Merrick Garland stillhasn't investigated the ring leaders in Congress of the Jan 6 insurrection, like Gaeetz, Hawley, Boebert, Gomert, Biggs. Jordan
The ones that were prosecuted were cannon fodder and even then most of them got little more than slaps on the hand,misdeamonrs and weeks or a few months in Jail. The most venal of the cannon fodder, like Stewart Rhodes, Fuentes, Torrio, got years. and that's OK because they were sacrifices for the because they are sacrifices.
And then there are the last minute Trump appointeees, that Garland has elevated, by volunteering to appoint an eager beaver name of David Weiss as special counsel to prosecute Hunter Biden, meanwhile not a peep about Garland appointing a special council to investigate Ivanka or Don jr.
You want links, get them yourself, there is enough info above to find the links if you really want them.
Bofus, however Biden can get rid of Dejoy, easy, he had a chance in 2021 and chose not to.
My question, and I am of a suspcious mind, is why hasn't he acted. The only answers are not nice.
Only the board of governors can fire the PF. There are 11 members on the board, 9 serve a limited term, the PG gets one vote, his deputy gets one. vote,
In Dec 21 two seats became vacant. Biden replaced them with a Dem and a Republican thus maintaining the balance,two more seats came open in Dec 2022, and Biden has left them vacant.
You can google USPS Board of Directors as I did, and get that info.
Now why isn't Biden fill the two vacant seats with Democrats.?
What about the other vacancy? And the Senate can use the nuclear option, the nuclear option has been used to lower the threshold for approving Executive Branch appointees and federal judges below the Supreme Court. In 2013, then-Majority Leader Harry Reid used the nuclear option to lower the threshold from 60 to 51 votes.
Actually all Biden needs is one vote on the board, which is now tied at 4-4 to fire DeJoy.
It is true that they are not subject to 28 USC 144. Bias or prejudice
Whenever a party to any proceeding in a district court makes and files a timely and sufficient affidavit that the judge before whom the matter is pending has a personal bias or prejudice either against him or in favor of any adverse party, such judge shall proceed no further therein, but another judge shall be assigned to hear such proceeding.
The affidavit shall state the facts and the reasons for the belief that bias or prejudice exists, and shall be filed not less than ten days before the beginning of the term at which the proceeding is to be heard, or good cause shall be shown for failure to file it within such time. A party may file only one such affidavit in any case. It shall be accompanied by a certificate of counsel of record stating that it is made in good faith.

Maybe because the DoJ is staffed by Trump Humpers, led by a right winger. Maybe because the attorneys are scared of SCOTUS, Daniel.
William where are you getting this information from. Please give us a reference and a link if possible. Thank you.

Biden can't even get rid of Louis DeJoy, FFS. I'm so sick of Dems bringing a chocolate cake to a gunfight that I want to scream.

Even the question is unflattering to Biden.
I beg you to google it.
Marty Walsh's nomination is stuck in the Senate process. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/02/29/president-biden-announces-key-nominees-67/

Biden doesn't control the Senate parliamentarian.
I know, but Schumer can invoke the nuclear option, and should. And as I see it, This situation ins not the senate parliamentarian wheelhouse.
I believe that was in my previous post, how to get around the rules, they have a rule to get around the rules. That's the senate for you,
Harry Reid used that option, Schumer can as well.
Don't forget Cruz and the Ginny Thomas who paid for a bus to D.C.
Thank you for that William. I will investigate more.
Unfortunately, short memories have always been a detriment.
Thanks for the reminder.

SCOTUS has rejected the notion that 28 USC § 455 applies to themselves.
I don't think that's true. It says "Justice."
It is true that they are not subject to 28 USC 144. Bias or prejudice
Whenever a party to any proceeding in a district court makes and files a timely and sufficient affidavit that the judge before whom the matter is pending has a personal bias or prejudice either against him or in favor of any adverse party, such judge shall proceed no further therein, but another judge shall be assigned to hear such proceeding.
The affidavit shall state the facts and the reasons for the belief that bias or prejudice exists, and shall be filed not less than ten days before the beginning of the term at which the proceeding is to be heard, or good cause shall be shown for failure to file it within such time. A party may file only one such affidavit in any case. It shall be accompanied by a certificate of counsel of record stating that it is made in good faith.
The truth doesn't matter when you're the foxes guarding the henhouse.
