#BombayHighCourt is hearing the default bail application filed by Gautam Navlakha, accused in the #BhimaKoregaon case.

Bench of Justices SS Shinde and MS Karnik are hearing the plea.

Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal submits that this is a simple matter of bail to be decided on facts.

He claims that Navlakha was in custody for more than 90 days. He was under house arrest for some time before being taken into judicial custody.

Sibal submitted that Navlakha had surrendered on April 14 and spent 93 days in custody. He spent 34 days in custody before remand order of Magistrate.

Sibal points out that the nature of custody may have changed but it was arrest nonetheless and for this reason, he should be granted bail.

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju appearing for the NIA begins his submission.

He points out that the police had only arrested him and had not taken custody.

Today I will not be sharing what are primarily my thoughts on the United States Supreme Court’s dereliction of duty to the American people.

2 of 55

Instead, I’ll be sharing the words of Myron Magnet.

In a June 19, 2019 essay published in City Journal and linked in my next tweet, he did a magnificent job of walking the reader through an incredible years-long effort underway by Justice Thomas.

Tomorrow I will show how all of this imperial judiciary nonsense fits into the Section 230 fiasco that has allowed wrongdoers to brazenly impair out constitutional rights.

For now, here is the link to Myron Magnet’s brilliant

But what was, what is, that years-long effort by Justice Thomas?

Anyone who has been following the trajectory of Justice Thomas surely knows already: to return the foundational focus of our Supreme Court to the Constitution . . . as written.

Let me now begin my series of quotes and paraphrases mixed in with my minimal comments. Magnet’s article was written in the wake of Gamble v. United States, a case that involved the question of double jeopardy.

#BombayHighCourt begins hearing the plea filed by Arnab Goswami challenging his illegal arrest and detention by the Raigad Police in the first week of November 2020.

Bench of Justice SS Shinde and MS Karnik are hearing the matter.

Senior Advocate Aabad Ponda apprises the court of the development in the case after the passing of the Supreme Court judgment of November

Ponda submits that the chargesheet was hastily filed after the Supreme Court order so that the present plea will become infructuous.

Ponda: Justice Chandrachud’s judgment is my best argument.

Ponda submits that Supreme Court observed in the order offence under Section 306 of IPC was not prima facie attracted.

Court: But that also means that the case is still open.

The observations of the SC are prima facie.

Justice Shinde asks Ponda to read the relevant portion of the order where the Supreme Court discussed on the facts of the case.

Ponda begins reading paragraph 66 of the judgment.

This week, over half the Republican Congress signed on to a Texas lawsuit asking the Supreme Court to invalidate millions of votes in 4 battleground states, despite having ZERO evidence of voter fraud. This is shocking but, sadly, not the least bit surprising. #velshi

Last night, the Supreme Court—including all 3 of Donald Trump’s appointees—rejected Texas’ case to overturn the election results. But one wonders whether it would have been more useful for the court to have heard it and then decided against it. #velshi

3/11
Trump’s tactics may not have worked in the ACTUAL courts, but a poll out this week indicated that 77% of Republicans believe there was fraud in this election. While most of that misinformation comes from Donald Trump himself—he’s the spark—the fuel is all around us. #velshi

Months ago, I warned that congressional candidates who hold dangerous fringe views could potentially get elected. They did, and I thought that was going to be our biggest problem moving forward: candidates whipping up conspiracies on the campaign trail. #velshi

5/11
I failed at the time to recognize that the dangers are far greater. Since Nov 3, elected members of the GOP and their constituents have pushed actual lies in favor of overturning the election and the will of the people who voted Biden in and Trump out. #velshi

@RabbiArielSton1 can you help me. i was concerned about the safety and well being of a person, who was alleged to have right leaning tendencies. in my concern, i reached out. his patterns escalated, and now i am constantly bullied with swastika imagery from antifa.

i have been a long term campaigner against nazi-ism in portland---and young antifa, refuse to research my work. due to my interest in de-radicalising someone, i am bullied by people like @realfrostylady who seek to punish me with brutal swastika imagery.

every time, careless antifa, blast my account with this horrifying image of swastikas, i feel persecuted, and they do not respect the way that it traumatic to me, to do this work, and have no respect. i have tried to educate on holocaust. worked at museum, read huge amounts.

my Jewish ancestry is less provable than many, and i have sincerely believed i have little bits of Jewish due to stories, and names. but does it matter? if i feel in my heart, connected to that pain, why must they brutally inflict more trauma on me. my loved ones from israel...

my loved ones from israel, are separated from me, and it was perhaps an original hate crime against me, that antifa seek to abuse me with further. perhaps it was to punish my many jewish friends, or past lovers. can you ask them to stop. the people involved with torturing me

City Attorney Young also claimed to Officer Long that “he would be considering
applying for protection orders against some of the leaders in the protest groups that he felt were
especially threatening and intimidating

City Attorney Young claimed to Moore that he had been the victim of Intimidating
a Public Servant under RCW 9A.76.180, and sought criminal charges against Mr. Gibson.

City Attorney’s Office does not have lawful authority to file felony charges.
As Young did not himself have authority to file felony charges, he pressured
Moore to arrest Mr. Gibson on alleged felony charges so that Clark County Prosecuting
Attorney’s Office could file charges.

initiated an internal investigation into Sergeant Moore for
allegedly being sympathetic to “Joey Gibson” and allegedly being unsympathetic to Antifa

p. 43

On August 3, 2020, defense counsel for Ms. Carroll filed a motion to dismiss
charges filed by VCA, arguing that the charges were unconstitutional selective prosecution in
retaliation for speech in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States
Constitution

If you want to understand why housing the unhoused is so impossible in this county, please read this thread.



So, let’s get this straight.The guy who runs Housing for Clackamas County, not Multnomah County, is Vahid Brown. We’ll start this thread here. It's a long thread.

Vahid calls someone on the phone to offer them housing at the new St Johns iteration of Hazelnut Grove. This call wasn’t made due to an application to get into the new HG village. In fact, there are no applications for anyone to apply for housing at the new HG village. Why?

3/ I don’t know. How do I know? Because I called out Do Good Multnomah 2 months ago for seemingly having NO process for conducting fair and equitable admissions for this new village.
Our assumption that it was a “good ol’ boys” network has been proven true, yet again. @VoHpdx

4/
Do Good Mult has mislead unhoused folks in St Johns telling them that they could have a spot in the new housing, giving false hope to current SJ residents who have been residing in the area for years, many of whom were born here. @Advocacy5_PDX

5/ That Vahid used his privilege in such an egregious way, should result in his losing his job. If there is a process, it needs to be fair and open. When I spoke to DGM months ago, they lied to me about having a process to get into HG.

My first experience of workplace sexual harassment was when my mom got her first real office job after graduating from college when I was in high school.

She was so excited to be taken “seriously.” Her bossed isolated her and kissed her. She never had that type of job again.

It was then how I learned how hard it is for women. How hard this world can be for us when we are trying to be taken seriously and help our community. How easily jerks can destroy the lives of women.

And I promised myself I would never let those kind of guys win. I would work hard my whole life to put myself in positions of power to change things. To end the violence & corruption. Give voice to the voiceless.

I am not stopping. I refuse. I will never give up.

Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched.

I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.

Not knowing what to expect what’s the most upsetting part aside from knowing that no one would do a damn thing even when they saw it.

No one.

And I *know* I am not the only woman.

Neckbrace is planning on attacking the supposed federal vehicles that she was posting about last night

More tweets about going after the feds

She also talked about going to Ted Wheelers new house

@DHSgov @ICEgov

And now she is talking about going after @stillgray and @MrAndyNgo

1/ #CapitolRiots fueled by #AlexJones’ propaganda.

Alex Jones paid $500K organize the event, admits he was directed by #Trump to lead the crowd to the Capitol.

.@FBI Pls Investigate Free Speech System’s & Trump’s communications, donors & pre-election funding of infowars.

2/ .@FBI please investigate. My kids were taken away for countermanding defamation & because I spoke out against infowars, which I used to own. Pls investigate due process violations in D-1-FM-15-005030 & official oppression to silence anti-Trump speech.

3/.@fbi investigate why Alex Jones’ DUI charge was dismissed w out trial and all Travis Co rulings to protect him, investigations not pursued by DA and (indicted) AG for racketeering, perjury. Investigate $6500 donation to judge prior to order entry...

.@FBI whatcha waiting for?

Hey, .@SecretService

Active calls to more violence on Alex Jones’ “Banned Video” website.

Thought they moderated comments.

#SupremeCourt is hearing a Public Interest Litigation seeking directions by Top Court, to provide food and healthcare facilities to children and lactating mothers, because the entire Anganwadi system has shut due to the lockdown.

On November 28, the Top Court had directed the Centre & States to file affidavits with regard to implementation of guidelines issued on operation of Anganwadi in the context of COVID-19.

Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves says he has prepared a chart wrt to the laxity of the Union with regard to the Aanganwadi system.

The Central Govt's survey on what states had done points to the fact that states had not reopened anganwadi systems in light of the notification of the Govt dated November 11, says Gonsalves.

The system is totally at a standstill, says Gonsalves.

The NHRC study and recommendation states that he Anganwadi's must immediately restart, says Gonsalves

Today is the last working day of the Supreme Court for the year 2020.
 
In a year of many unprecedented events, the Supreme Court has laid down many precedents, in more than one sense of the term. 

My list of the notables, but not necessarily in order of notability, is here👇

1. In re. problems and miseries of migrant workers: A petition seeking help for migrant workers affected by the COVID lockdown had been disposed off. Then the Court suo moto took up the miseries of workers and sought to oversee the facilities for the migrant workers.

2. Government passed orders directing employers to not stop paying wages to workers. Employers challenged this In Ficus pax v. Union of India. Supreme Court directed employers to negotiate with employees.

3. In a decision having bearing upon its own administration, in Chief Information Commissioner v. HC of Gujarat and Anr. the court held that where HC rules provide for a procedure to obtain certified copies, same cannot be obtained by RTI.

4. The 2013 Land Acquisition Act resulted in lapse of some acquisition proceedings under the old 1894 Act. 5 judges in Indore Development Authority v. Manoharlal clarified that proceedings will not lapse either compensation has been paid or physical possession has been taken.

Breaking news and a plea for journalists to cover: Covid ourbreak in Multnomah County Jail among corrections officers bad enough that attorneys were not able to call clients last night. Not enough people to work the phone system or let detainees access phones.

The jail situation here has been frightening & I suspect people don't know about the outbreaks, quarrantine rules & even how that has slown down court in the past few weeks. If we can't talk to our in-custody clients by phone, they won't bring them to court, things get backed up.

The sheriff brings people from the 2 jails to the courthouse for hearings. For some reason they won't just get some ipads and let prisoners zoom in from the jail. Meanwhile belly chains on some prisoners mean poor ability to adjust a droopy mask so lots of noses are exposed.

Some judges are just appearing by video chat, which suggests their real thoughts on the matter.

I will always remember one particular scene: standing next to a belly-chained client (and the deputy and the clerk), with his mask down around his chin as he talked in delusional pressured speech loudly over the disemdied voice of the judge and DA who both appeared on a large tv.

@RabbiArielSton1 hey rabbi, could you also get @realfrostylady to apologize for the implicit threat of violence to a black woman mariah macaronio?

i really prefer nonviolence---and i don't want anyone to be in danger for caring about what is going on.

i immediately reported the tweet for violence and threat of harm---but i think @TwitterSafety and @twittersupport think it is a free speech issue
this came after hours and hours of rage tweeting from frosty at mariah. i want everyone to be safe.

besides these implicit threats of violence from frosty after rage-tweeting about mariah----
i don't think @realfrostylady is taking account how her targeting mariah macaronio could put her in real danger and risk of physical harm---there needs to be an apology from frosty as well

SCOOP/BREAKING NEWS: The Energy Department and National Nuclear Security Administration, which maintains the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, have evidence that hackers accessed their networks, officials directly familiar with the matter said.

Investigators found suspicious activity in networks belonging to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories in New Mexico and Washington, the Office of Secure Transportation and the Richland Field Office of the DOE.

DOE and NNSA officials have begun coordinating notifications about the breach to their congressional oversight bodies. Officials at DOE still don’t know whether the attackers were able to access anything, the people said—and may not know "for weeks"

@MamaJo0567 @rodcoffman @kylenabecker 1/ So much! When Kathy Bookvar’s last minute changes were announced one by one, and upheld by the court when challenged by PA legislature, I honestly felt like I was living some stupid movie! First, lets@let everybody vote by mail!

The Inauguration of Mike Schmidt as Multnomah County District Attorney https://t.co/TcTmKyY0dz via @YouTube how would
"broken windows social theory"
interpret the prominent placement of pedophile #MattHennessee

in

Multnomah District Attorney ceremony and propaganda?

The broken windows theory is a criminological theory that states that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior, and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.

#SupremeCourt bench led by Justice Ashok will today take up plea(s) seeking extension of loan moratorium owing to the pandemic alongwith sector-specific plea’s.

@RBI

#loanmoratorium #ExtendMoratorium

Senior Advocate Ravindra Srivastava is making rejoinder submissions.
He says that no authority seems to be looking into the grievances of the borrowers.

Srivastava : Govt and RBI have come up with measures - for small borrowers (for loans up to 2 crores) on which I made submissions regarding discrimination.

They have shown nothing on record to prove why this was done, Srivastava says

Srivastava says that the intervention application of the IBA and the SBI circulars have been signed by the Deputy Managing Director but nowhere it has been stipulated to be a Board Approved policy.
