UPDATE: BANNON "WINS" AT SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court (Motto: NOT Trump Judges...well maybe NO LONGER Trump Judges) has agreed to send Stephen Bannon's contempt of Congress case back to the district court (he lost on the initial appeal and served four months) so the government can "exercise prosecutorial discretion" and move to vacate the conviction and dismiss the case. Prosecutorial discretion huh? Meanwhile in Miami Victim Wants Max!

 Around 1PM Monday the crew of the Artemis II spacecraft will become the humans who have traveled farthest from Earth (literally and physically. Hypothetically we've read some judicial rulings that are farther out there), surpassing the record of Apollo 13, who had to alter their flight plan to a free trajectory return because of the damage to their spacecraft after an explosion. 

Whenever we get a prosecutor to curse at us we know we are winning. Do you think the Iranian leadership has the same views after the president's curse laden post this weekend  screaming at them to "open the Fuckin Strait of Hormuz..."  It's not like he ever screamed at Mexico to "pay for the fuckin wall..." which of course they haven't done. 

Mr. Markus took a quick break from his trial      A guest blogger (see above)  posted this weekend  about the ceremonial robbing of    Judge Yeney Hernandez, our newest Federal Magistrate. She is a child of immigrants whose both parents worked to give her a chance of a better life.  It's a uniquely American success story played out, especially in Miami, over and over during these last few decades. Based on our current polices, to paraphrase Clemenza in the Godfather, "Won't see that no more."  

We've got less than 90 days of blogging left. Anybody want to run a popular legal blog? We recently turned down a discrete inquiry from the attorney general of the United States who was planning for a life after the DOJ.  Anybody else want to dip their toe into the literary waters of Miami's state court legal dramas? 

TLI means Trans-Lunar Insertion. It is a term of art for space travel to the moon when the spacecraft executes a burn to leave earth orbit and transit space to be captured by the moon's gravity and enter a lunar orbit.  The term was first used for Apollo 8 in 1969 and marked (another) historic first for humans in space- leaving the confines of the earth for outer space. After it was last uttered in 1972 for Apollo 17, it was said again last week.
