Elohim derives from El, the chief god in the Canaanite pantheon, and the father of other gods (such as Baal and Yahweh). El also appeared in the religions of many neighboring societies in the near east.

In Canaanite societies and in Hebrew, the name El became genericised, so the name could be used as a title for any god or for god powers in general.

God is multitudinous and thus worthy of the title, but also one single god dont you dare worship any other

In terms of the Hebrew Bible, it's more like different parts were written by different people at different times, with various views on polytheism, henotheism, and monotheism. Elohim is grammatically plural, and in some places it is used as a plural to refer to multiple deities. In other places it agrees with singular forms, similar to "royal we", or it becomes an abstract term for divinity as a concept.

The implication of not applying the unknown custodian exception here is that, as of March 9, the Petitioner, detained in the United States, would not have been able to call on any habeas court. Not in Louisiana, New York, or New Jersey. And not anywhere else, either.

That is too far. Our tradition is that there is no gap in the fabric of habeas

no place, no moment, where a person held in custody in the United States cannot call on a court to hear his case and decide it.

Judge Michael Farbiarz, Khalil v. Joyce, et al., April 1, 2025

France taking it back to 1798 with the Quasi War.

This is true for people who hold security clearances and who have signed NDAs.

This is definitely not true for journalists. There is a first amendment right to publish classified stuff if you get your hands on it. See the Pentagon Papers.

For normies who don't have the backing of the New York Times, there's a bit of a grey area, because the Espionage Act is still on the books, probably unconstitutional, and never really been seriously tested. See Julian Assange, where he ultimately pled guilty to an Espionage Act charge without challenging the law itself.

Oh, there is absolutely a record.

The "record" that the government lawyer was talking about is just the set of papers filed in this one case. Judges are nominally supposed to make decisions based only on the information that people bring in front of them.

Japanese Americans put into prison camps without a lawful reason or due process.

Ex parte Endo is actually relevant case law in the arguments for this Venezuelan case, since the justification for the Japanese American internment was the same 1798 alien enemies act. The current law of the land from Endo is that the internment of first generation Japanese immigrants, who were not citizens, was legal during the declared war. The internment of second and third generation citizens of Japanese descent was not legal.

Do you think American citizens with brown skin aren't being arrested and deported by this MAGA cult?

This certainly seems plausible to me, but this scenario is not (yet) alleged in this specific Venezuelan case.

He's getting too predictable. He should surprise everyone with the 3rd amendment. Nobody's gonna be expecting to have to put up troops in their own homes...

At least one deportee on the planes was really Nicaraguan, and not Venezuelan at all. El Salvador refused to accept him into their torture prison, because they don't want to piss off their neighbor Nicaragua.

Edit: Also, Judge Millet on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals asked this exact question: "It could have been me. You could throw me on a plane?". The government's response to this was, "Your honor, nothing of the sort is in the record!". Aka, we're not throwing you on a plane, yet.. Truly, one of the great ways to persuade a jurist to your cause.

Another choice Millet quote: "Nazis got better treatment than this!". (Referring to Germans deported under the same law during WWII, where they generally had notice, hearings, and the chance to depart voluntarily).

As far as I know, the MAX software fully complied with its software requirements. The problem was crappy system requirements, and Boeing actively lied to their pilots to conceal that they added a brand new automatic flight control system that can push the elevators down independent of the autopilot and stick pusher.

That last part is what sent people to jail.

This exact judge previously shot down an attempt to obtain Trump's tax returns.

It's like he must be looking at something besides the caption to decide these cases. I wonder what that could be?? So mysterious.

Seems about right: it's just a small loan, after all.

This was done last week.

Current developments:

• The government filed a renewed motion to transfer from New Jersey to Western Louisiana, where Khalil physically is. Khalil contests this motion vigorously, because Louisiana is in the Fifth Circuit for appeals, and the Fifth Circuit is known to be pretty conservative. (District courts follow circuit court precedent for whatever circuit they're in, so this doesn't just matter on appeal).
• Khalil still wants to be released on bail while the rest of this case is litigated.
• Khalil filled a cross motion to send the case back to New York, but only so he is still able to appeal the decision to leave New York later.
• The government added additional immigration charges to the underlying deportation case. Khalil is now charged with the Secretary of State determination (original), and with omitting 2 jobs and a "club membership" on his green card application in 2024. The "club" in question is the protest student group he was or is a member of.

I am well aware that Apollo 10 did not deliver shitbags to the moon.

But 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 did, if they defecated at all on the moon, leave it behind per checklist. There are 96 inventoried bags on the moon, but it is not recorded which, if any, are filled with what. It would have been easier to avoid on the earlier missions, which spent less time on the surface.

At least one astronaut claims he avoided a bowel movement for the entire mission duration.
