Hey, #NewYork! Here's a short primer on ranked choice voting; it won't be like this for every vote, just certain categories. Good advice on #NeverCuomo, don't rank him last, DON'T RANK HIM AT ALL - fill your five slots w/ anyone but. He (and *1st Stop's Always Istanbul* Eric Adams are both also running Independent!) won't go away quite so easily, but we are patient.

例として、私が以前に書いたものは簡略化すると大体こんな感じ(polyfill略):

```html
<dialog id="dialog-id" aria-modal="true">

<button id="dismiss" onclick="closeDialog()">…</button>
</dialog>
<button id="open" onclick="showModal()" aria-controls="dialog-id" aria-haspopup="dialog" >…</button>
<script>
function showModal() {
$('#dialog').showModal();
$('#open').ariaExpanded = 'true';
$('#dismiss').focus();
}
function closeDialog() {
$('#dialog-id').close();
const button = $('#open')
$('#open').ariaExpanded = 'false';
button.focus();
}
</script>

The #Trump admin on Wed moved to drop an #EmergencyAbortion case in #Idaho.

The #DOJ filed a motion to #dismiss the lawsuit, which was originally filed by the #Biden admin, in a reversal that could have national implications for #UrgentCare.

The suit had argued that #ER #doctors treating #pregnant women had to provide terminations if needed to save their lives or to avoid serious #health consequences in ID, which has one of the country’s strictest #AbortionBans.

Judge Ho brings up a letter sent by #EricAdams’s defense team to #DOJ officials earlier this month. The letter makes many of the arguments that eventually appeared in #EmilBove’s order to prosecutors seeking to #dismiss the case, &, when they didn’t obey him, the dismissal motion to which he signed his name. Alex Spiro, one of Adams’s lawyers, acknowledges that the government motion echoes arguments he has made for months.

Judge Ho established that the government’s motion to #dismiss is not predicated on the strength of the case. #EmilBove agreed that that’s correct, & the judge asked him for a high-level explanation of the rationale behind the motion. Bove said that the case has “appearances of impropriety” & represents an abuse of the #criminal justice system.

Bove says that there are several ongoing investigations at the #DOJ in which the purpose of the #EricAdams prosecution is being scrutinized.

Judge Ho made clear that #EricAdams is presumed innocent, & noted that the #DOJ’s motion was made without reference to the strength of the case.

The judge asked about the agreement to #dismiss the case against Adams without prejudice, meaning prosecutors could bring charges again if they were so inclined.
The judge asked Adams directly about consent to the motion. Adams is waiving certain rights by consenting & the judge wants to make sure Adams is aware of that & is doing so voluntarily.

The Supreme Court decided this month in Donald Trump v. U.S. that the Constitution prescribes a heretofore unidentified absolute #presidential #immunity,
💥permitting the president to violate federal law in the commission of “official acts.”

This extraordinary decision came after the former president turned to the High Court seeking to #dismiss a federal indictment concerning his role in the Jan. 6 #insurrection.

With the majority decision now the supreme law of the land, the question for concerned citizens becomes this:

♦️What can the People do to prevent, or at least minimize, the likelihood that future presidents will act as kings or queens beyond the reach of the law under color of constitutional authority?

“When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution,” Justice #Sonia #Sotomayor noted in her dissent.
“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune.

Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune.

Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.”

This ruling represents a challenge to our founding order, as Justice #Ketanji #Brown #Jackson explains in her dissenting opinion.

The majority has usurped the power of Congress through this decision because it immunizes a president from the reach of the People’s laws that were intended to apply to all citizens.

It empowers the federal judiciary at the cost of the legislative branch by creating a standard that only the federal judiciary can rule on.

👉This usurpation of power should prompt a response from Congress to recover its lost legislative power
and to rein in an extremist Court.

The American people are faced with a Supreme Court that has ventured into presidential politics
and manufactured a theory of absolute presidential immunity
not supported by the Founding Fathers,
the text of the Constitution,
the legal precedent of past Supreme Court decisions,
or the history of the Republic to date.

⭐️Congress must start acting on behalf of the People it represents.
The political effect, if not the actual intent, of the Supreme Court’s majority opinion
is to provide a legal path for the former president to escape his legal difficulties without a trial or accountability
and to increase his chances of winning the presidency again in 2024.

The Court is respected and seen as legitimate when its decisions are sound, supported by the Constitution and legally objective.

🔥With the Court’s majority decision this month, it can only be seen as the ally of a candidate for president.

The judge reminds #jurors that they should not discuss the case or read the news about the trial in the meantime.

Court is adjourned until the afternoon when it’s expected that prosecutors & defense lawyers will srgue for their preferred versions of the #JuryInstructions during a “charging conference”.

Justice #Merchan may also rule on the defense lawyers' latest attempt to #dismiss the case, which they made in a motion yesterday.

Texas AG Ken Paxton makes deal to avoid felony securities trial

#Texas #Attorney #General Ken Paxton (R), a conservative firebrand acquitted last year in a historic impeachment trial, has reached an agreement with prosecutors to avoid trial on long-standing state felony #securities #fraud charges.

#Paxton was charged nearly a decade ago, accused of #defrauding investors at a Dallas-area tech company by not disclosing that he was paid by the company to recruit them.

The case has been delayed for years by pretrial disputes over the trial’s location and special prosecutors’ fees.


Under the agreement reached in Harris County district court on Tuesday, prosecutors would #dismiss #felony charges against Paxton if he successfully completes community #service and advanced legal education #classes and pays restitution of about $300,000.

He had previously pleaded not guilty.

Paxton, 61, did not have to formally enter a plea or testify Tuesday.

(He also declined to testify during his impeachment trial.)

He had faced up to 99 years in prison if convicted, as well as disqualification from holding state office.

But w/each #delay, the odds increase that #voters will not get a chance to hear the #evidence that #Trump sought to subvert the last election before they decide whether to back him in the current one.

If Trump is successful in delaying the #trial until after #Election Day & he wins, he could use the powers of his office to seek to #dismiss the #ElectionInterference #indictment altogether. Moreover, #DOJ policy precludes prosecuting a sitting #president,….
