Americans CAN stop this anytime without being arrested or punished in any way for their actions. STOP SPENDING on all but essential items and shift as much of that essential spending to local businesses. No need to stop eating out, just eat in locally run family eateries (NOT corporate chains). It’s about strategic spending decisions. It’s all about common sense, but if you need more detail, click here for my broader thinking. Given the SCOTUS ruling on tariffs, you now have even more power.
There is no case to be made for saying ‘there’s nothing we can do’ It really is very simple, and I would urge you to encourage everyone you know to become part of a sustained act of strategic economic disengagement, because I guarantee just by this most simple of actions, you can unlock the gate on the road back to real American values. A sustained 3-4% drop in consumer spending will occur if Americans have the collective and sustained patriotic determination to say ‘enough is enough’.
From The Peaceful Solution
The Peaceful Solution-Part 1
How much do you want to stop His Royal Heinous and the fascist takeover of the country?
Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs (formerly known as The Robber Barons in the first Gilded Age, also The Fat Cats, The Greedy Bastards).
A brief demonstration of We, the People’s, power of the purse could persuade them to quit supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
We quit spending, except on essentials, businesses lose money, stock market goes down, Greedy Bastards pay attention to our demands.
Greedy Bastards own most of the politicians of both major parties. GBs start losing money, tell politicians to change course and do what We, the People want.
We are running out of peaceful options. The legislature and Supreme Court are controlled by HRH. He controls the executive branch, including the Military, Justice Department, FBI, ICE, the IRS. He controls all levers of power.
We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. When all else fails we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
Economic warfare is the only thing the oligarchs, the business community will understand and act on. Call it a Surreptitious General Strike (Quiet Quitting). Go to work, do as little as possible. Stop spending money except on essentials. Quit feeding the corporate beast that supports the HRH.
Stop participating. Nearly 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending. All of us. Hobble the economy and the stock market. Mahatma Gandhi drove the British from India by peaceful civil disobedience and economic disruption. We can stop the fascist takeover in the same way.
We can keep rehashing past and present atrocities until our access to the internet is taken away by the regime, or we can DO something!
Such a rule would compromise the integrity of the State bar, its exam, and accountability. It is simply a way for the currently politically controlled DOJ to prevent the State Bars from taking actions against DOJ lawyers who violate their oaths as attorneys.
So all my life the GOP have screamed "state's rights" and "fiscal responsibility". Well, I watched the "fiscal responsibility" of both Bush years and Trump.1. But I'm from the South and, boy, this is incredible to me. Since 1865, the South and these GOP conservatives want to bring back the Confederacy any way they can. And now they want a DICTATOR? A Federal govt that takes every right the states have away from them? This is just so crazy!
This sounds just as useful as the Supreme Court policing its own ethics, a person deep in the throes of a mental health crisis "contracting for safety" to get an agency out of their face, or the Citizens United decision. Anyone with a position to protect from a 6 year old to the government will do what it takes to protect themselves from consequences.
This is obviously another power grab but also, they aren’t even thinking about the potential numbers they would be dealing with if they have to review them first. So once again the “local gov’t” ideology of the GOP is thrown out the window because it doesn’t suit their agenda.
I just tried to leave a public comment regarding Docket AOG and the search results state that this docket cannot be found. Would everyone in this thread please try to find Docket AOG 199 so we can post a public comment objecting to this rule change? Thank you.
DOJ is not trustworthy and has no authority to restrict state bar associations from investigating attorney malpractice. This is so 1984 by Orwell. It feels like we are living in an alternate universe where newspeak rules the day. I am exhausted with these Hitler like takeover maneuvers damaging our country. How do we forgive the maga voters that are complicit in enabling this damage?
In order to preserve government checks and balances it is necessary for states to have
independent oversight of government lawyers; the integrity of state bar associations must be maintained. The Department of Justice has not been transparent and they have lost the trust of the American people. Therefore, the DOJ should conduct concurrent investigations but should not be allowed to hinder the states from conducting their own investigations in a timely manner.
The fox will be guarding the henhouse , all complains with be buried!

You think this has anything to do with complaints of serious misconduct against Bondi herself with the Florida Bar as reported by Newsweek?

...to wait while DOJ redacts and shreds...
Sounds like a license to cover things up to me …🤔
NO, absolutely not!
Another power grab from Trump's own attorneys, masquerading as DOJ. Leave the states alone. We are not a kingdom or a fascist regime, yet.
