The Andrew Branca Show

OK, I've had enough with this James Fishback guy running to be Florida Governor now that Ron DeSantis is term-limited out. Tomorrow I'm doing a TAKE DOWN live stream on this character who's suddenly all over my X feed. I must admit, I don't actually have anything NEGATIVE to say about James, as I don't really KNOW anything about him. But he's saying a lot of the right MAGA things, and before I jump on the Fishback bandwagon I want to make sure I'm not stepping on some political landmine. So, this is your chance, people, to dissuade me from the Fishback fandom. Get those skeletons out of the closet, polish up whatever shit it is you think you have to say about him, and join me at 11 AM ET tomorrow, Tuesday, December 16!Fair warning! Bring receipts or be called out for NO RECEIPTS!(Full disclosure, in the absence of any credible Fishback negatives, I'll probably just play a bunch of the videos he's been posting on his X channel--they're pretty compelling stuff, and I'll EXPLAIN WHY.)Episode 1116.

An mass shooting event occurred yesterday at Bondi Beach in Australia, by a father-and-son killing team. As usual, the event has led to a tsunami of poorly-reasoned opinionating on social media—and most of that I’ll leave to the dummies to wrestle with.In THIS show we’ll focus on the LEGAL DYNAMICS of defense against this kind of mass attack. What is legally permissible, and why? How is this legal different from a more traditional deadly-force self-defense scenario, and what additional tactical options does it make lawful that otherwise might be criminal? And MORE!All of this will, of course, be from the legal perspective of AMERICAN use-of-force law, as if the event had tragically occurred in the United States rather than Australia. 

A repeated pattern among our Trump Deranged unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, federal district trial court judges is that the start presiding over cases with an anti-Trump decision already determined and then spew world-salad to achieve that outcome. More often than not, their feckless legal reasoning gets checked by their bosses on the relevant federal court of appeals, which then in the normal process of such things returns the case to the original trial judge for further litigation—ONLY to have that lower fabricate a SECOND world-salad order achieving the same pre-determined anti-Trump goal. This week we’ve seen this cycle happen yet again with Federal Judge Indira Talwani and the Planned Parent abortion case. Congress had passed a statute this year that sharply constrained financing for federally-funded abortions, Planned Parenthood sued in federal court in Massachusetts, and Judge Talwani has repeatedly issued world-salad orders freezing that statute—and has been repeatedly checked, again this week, by the court of appeals.

Just a month after rogue pro-invader Federal District Court Judge Jeffrey Cummings (Biden 2023) ordered the release of hundreds of illegal invaders detained by immigration authorities based on a 2022 Biden-agreed-upon consent decree about warrantless arrests of illegals, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals panel with two Biden and one Trump appointed judge agreed to stay that order, keeping the invaders detained. A particularly interesting facet of this case—ignored by the two Biden appellate judges, but driving a forceful dissent by the Trump member of the panel—is whether it can even be lawful for a consent decree entered into by a prior administration to bind the executive authority of a later administration.  Such “zombie” consent decrees certainly appear profoundly undemocratic, as they prevent the American people from effecting political change through electing a new administration with preferred policies. 

The wildly Trump Derangement Afflicted unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district trial court Judge Count Boasberg has been checked hard by the DC Court of Appeals, following an ABSOLUTELY SCATCHING filing by the Trump administration kindly asking the judicial adults to step in and check this mad trial court judge.
