The decision is not statutory law but rather de facto law, until overturned . The long practice of stare decisis by the higher courts makes that clear. The reason it acts as de facto law is that other courts faced with similar circumstances are quite likely to decide similarly based on the...

"But zero hedge so who knows." Wise words of warning! It's Bizarre to realize that Trump is the last person on Earth that anyone with any sense would take investment or business advice from; yet now people with no sense, and without rhyme or reason will react to his uniformed pronouncements...

I would agree that the information is not terribly useful without any information about distribution of home prices and incomes. Comparing these numbers with income distributions across the country is, however, heartening to landlords everywhere.

A higher court than your personal opinion will be needed to overturn the Judges decision, which by definition, stands as the law unless and until the lower court is overturned by a higher court. Of course you can disagree. But the judges ruling stands superior to your own personal opinion...

Trump doesn't understand much of anything other than where the money that saved his ass came from, and what's going to happen to him if he fails to do Purtin's bidding behind the scenes.

In my own opinion, those who are complicit in the killing, or jailing, of their political enemies should, at the very least, not be respected. Putin is a man of great wealth. It would be virtually impossible for him to accumulate in one generation, even with skilled investment of assets, such...

This stormy business is, as of Trumps denial of any knowledge whatsoever, bizarre beyond belief. The contract would have had to have been drawn as a contract between Cohen and Daniels, I would guess, but then I am not a lawyer. I only play one on ET. I think jem is right in regard to only...

Correct. If it is?

Apparently you and the judge disagree on this one. I suppose the Judge knows more than you. But I could be wrong!

That's generally true to the chagrin of the armchair branch of American jurisprudence.

Well that was my point. They are not criminals except by our lynch mob judgement of them. If they were criminals, there are enough people that would like to see these guys behind bars up it would probably happen (at least for a few hours until their lawyers arrived). They are either acting...

OK. I didn't watch CNN. I confess. But facts are facts, and I'm not entitled to my own. I did enjoy Convertibility's cartoon. Two extreme views, both of them wrong, and more or less painting an accurate picture of the current divide in opinions.

But of course we realize that U.S. news agencies will interview those hoping for asylum in the U.S. in preference to those planning on staying in Mexico. This is what I would do, were I a U.S. reporter. I'd be interested in interviewing those whose stories were of greatest interest to U.S...

Thank you so much for posting this important article from the Times.

The ruling is based on "proven" fact. Fact that we do not have access to, but the Judge does! This is why we have courts and judges. You'll have to get used to that if you're going to stick around. We don't like lynch mob mentality in the U.S. And therefore we follow the rule of law...

Again, that is not net of six bankruptcies. That's Forbes wild guess of net worth after wiping the slate clean six times and starting over. And how on Earth would Forbes have detailed knowledge of Trump's finances? If I've made my living, and a good one at that, via skimming money off the top...

Your confused. That is not his worth net of bankruptcies. Forbes, in common with you and me, has no way of accurately knowing what his net worth is, even not taking bankruptcies into account. Trump's finances, at least since the 1990s and probably well before that, have been intentionally...

Actually no one knows, except possibly Trump, if he has net of his six bankruptcies any profit at all. Most likely, he doesn't. Certainly the IRS doesn't know. They have only a pile of suspect returns. Certainly the public does not know. They have no returns at all! Perhaps, Robert Mueller...

Even though more recent legislation may provide wiggle room, e.g., words such as "under discretion of the President," deploying U.S. troops to enforce internal U.S. law in the absence of a true crisis would set a dangerous precedent which could easily come back to bite us in the ass...

INDEED!
