Oregon attorney general, Portland mayor praise judge's ruling blocking troops to Portland

Rayfield and others praised U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut’s ruling Saturday that found President Donald Trump’s federal mobilization of Oregon National Guard troops to Portland violated federal law.

"In a groundbreaking ruling, the Brussels Court of First Instance has not only ordered the Flemish government to block a specific container of military equipment but also banned all further transit of military material to Israel. The judge found that Flanders is systematically failing to meet its obligations under arms legislation and international treaties, and even imposed a penalty for each shipment that still goes through. Four Flemish NGOs — Vredesactie, INTAL, 11.11.11 and the League for Human Rights — who brought the case, were upheld on all counts."

#MyPillow CEO's legal counsel Christopher Kachouroff and Jennifer DeMaster were excortiated by a Federal Judge and fined by court after violating court rules by turning in #ArtificialIntelligence generated legal motions with nearly 30 defective citations, including bogus cites of non existent case law.

The attorneys were retained while taking #MikeLindell for an expensive ride, as he unsucessfully fought another losing legal battle where a jury recently found him liable for false claims about the 2020 #election and defamation against voting machine mfgrs.

Prior to issuing the fines, U.S. District Judge Nina Wang ordered Lindell, and his legal team to demonstrate why they should not face #court sanctions and be referred for disciplinary action. Kachouroff issued a rebuke that the judge said attempted to "shift responsibility" and his filing was "both troubling and not well-taken."

In a 20-page #ruling issued Monday, July 7th the judge made clear that their breeches of #ProfessionalConduct and #Legal standards by the #Virginia based law firm McSweeney Cynkar & #Kachouroff were unacceptable to the court. In partcular the federal court circuit judge called out Kachouroff for trying to shirk responsibilty for the matter, when another filng he was involved in after this case in #Wisconsin was also found to have similar #AI generated errors.

Lindell's other sanctioned #attorney Jennifer Tavares Breedon DeMaster, who received her JD at an #evangelical law school in #VirginiaBeach and is author of the book " #Babylon Unveiled : Redefining Faith. Exposing Deception," told jurors that Lindell's false claims were protected by the #constitution in an animated and rambling closing argument made against a so-called “Ministry of Truth” built for suppressing US #ElectionRgging claims.

For three long years, a group of #police #officers and U.S. #lawmakers who have ⭐️ #sued Donald Trump in his private capacity for his conduct on Jan. 6 ⭐️have awaited trial

The "domino effect" of the 🔸Supreme Court’s presidential #immunity #ruling 🔸now seems poised to #disrupt the case again and potentially irk a judge who plainly expressed his desire to get the case tried before autumn.

The consolidated case is 🌟Lee v. Trump, 🌟and it is before U.S. District Judge #Amit #Mehta, a former public defender and appointee of former President Barack Obama.

Law&Crime attended the remote status conference on Tuesday and learned that the parties have continued to engage in several rounds of negotiations over evidence in discovery and that they have also issued subpoenas to entities like the U.S. Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department for records pertinent to Jan. 6.

But according to attorneys for the plaintiffs as well as attorneys for Trump, ♦️neither the Secret Service nor the Metropolitan Police Department ♦️have yet responded to subpoenas sent more than five weeks ago.

Attorneys for the plaintiffs told Mehta that the deadline they put on response for their subpoenas sent earlier this year was June 18.

A spokesperson for MPD declined to comment on pending litigation and a request for comment to the Secret Service was also declined to Law&Crime on Friday.

Mehta found this lack of responsiveness curious,
and on Tuesday he said he would reach out to the D.C. Attorney General’s Office to determine whether the subpoenas were #lost in the mail
or if the Secret Service or the MPD’s custodian of records were being #nonresponsive.

While concerned, the judge appeared 🔹determined to keep moving the civil case down the tracks 🔹and ordered the parties to disclose the names of those individuals they intend to depose or obtain declarations from
💥no later than Aug. 23.

As Law&Crime reported, 👉 it was in April when Mehta set down a Sept. 11 deadline for the parties to complete discovery specific to immunity issues Trump may want to raise.

“I do want to get to summary judgment briefing this fall and get this done,” Mehta said Tuesday.

Much of the discovery is publicly sourced material and so far, according to attorneys for the National Archives who attended the status conference,
♦️the National Archives has produced 1,500 of 4,700 total documents flagged for the matter. ♦️

The records pertain to Trump’s🔹 “Stop the Steal” rally at the Ellipse,
🔹official communication between government officials about that rally,
🔹the logistics for how Trump got to the Ellipse and left,
🔹and communications about his speech.

✅No concerns over privilege issues are expected by Trump’s lawyers or the plaintiffs.

During the status conference, it was also revealed by federal prosecutors that they have ✅received roughly 1,650 pages of records from the Interior Department
so far and that the department is on track to finish this production by Aug. 19.

Mehta has spent months holding fast to the Sept. 11 deadline,
but ⚠️with so many competing deadlines in the weeks ahead,
as Law&Crime explores in every venue where Trump is charged below,
the federal judge may soon find himself woefully disappointed and, along with the plaintiffs, waiting yet again.

— I added #Unconstitutional, because the #SupremeCourt #ruling totally #ignored the #effects of the #14thAmendment on the #1stAmendment when the #requirement to consider #equalprotection of the law was added to to the #constitution and the first 13 amendments by the ratification of the 14th amendment.

The Constitution does not tolerate citizens of the United States being made into second class citizens, as the supreme court ruling very clearly does to LGBTQIA people.

A #federal #AppealsCourt has #ruled that a #KatyTexas company and #church can #deny #employment to #LGBTQ #workers without legal recourse. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (#5thCircuit) #overturned a #lower #court's #ruling that the company, #BraidwoodManagement, and the church, #BearCreekCommunityChurch, #violated #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct of 1964 by #discriminating #against LGBTQ workers.

The #court determined that the two entities are not mandated to abide by #federal #discrimination law because they are #religious #organizations. The court's opinion said that Braidwood Management follows the belief among some Christians that "marriage is between one man and one woman."

The ruling is a #setback for #LGBTQRights advocates, who had hoped that the 5th Circuit would follow the lead of the Supreme Court (#SCOTUS), which ruled in 2020 that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination. The Supreme Court's ruling was a landmark decision, but it did not explicitly address the issue of religious exemptions.

The 5th Circuit's ruling leaves open the possibility that other religious organizations could also deny employment to LGBTQ workers without legal repercussions. This could have a significant impact on LGBTQ workers, who could be #denied jobs or #fired simply because of their #SexualOrientation or #GenderIdentity.

The ruling is also a reminder of the importance of the ongoing fight for LGBTQ equality. Despite progress in recent years, there are still many challenges that LGBTQ people face, including discrimination in the workplace. It is important to continue to fight for the rights of LGBTQ people and to ensure that they are protected from discrimination.

The 1st Adam in the Hebrew Scriptures #5 Temptation, assault and curse

After the choice Adam and Eve made to go against the Will of God, eating of the fruit of the Tree of knowledge of good and evil, God came to deal with three parties in the fall of mankind: Adam, Eve and the serpent. An alleged fourth – the devil – is not mentioned in Genesis narrative. This for the simple reason the symbolic tempter (satan), the serpent, or the evil thoughts in Eve’s mind are the evil itself.

The most common presentation of Adam and Eve does not reflect clearly enough their theological significance, at least as seen in the New Testament. Too many people forget where the trouble started and do not come to see the essence of our suffering today being the cause of man its own choice. Eve decided herself, by her own choice to go against the wishes of God. She herself wanted to be like God. The apostle Paul, being a Jewish scholar knew very well the problem of evil and suffering. For him it was also clear what choice Adam and Eve had made and why.

For Paul the wrath on mankind was caused by the anger of God (Romans 5:9) It does not have to mean we are enemies of God, but Eve her action showed God how man doubted His position. For the opposing attitude of Eve God reckoned against the sinner. In the story of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis, we hear God giving a first commandment: not eating of the fruit of the tree of conscience (the Tree of knowledge of good and evil). He is aware that they could see death reigning in the world form Adam’s time to the time of Moses (Knox).

Romans 5: 14 1But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over 2them also that sinned not after the like 3manner of the transgression of Adam, 4which was the figure of him that was to come.

In his letter to the Romans we get to hear that Adam foreshadows another person who had to come. The first Adam or the first man, corresponds in some degree to the man who was to come, and whose birth 2020 years ago we remember this year. That man being born was a gift to mankind, from God, which more powerfully affected mankind.

Romans 5: 15 1But yet the gift is not so as is the offense: for if through the offense of 2that one, many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Adam and Eve committed an offence on which God had to react. He could directly destroy them and start all over  again by creating some new living beings in his likeness which would keep to His commandment. Moreover, the boon of God exceeds the fruit of Adam and Eve’s sin. On that contrast between the gift and the results of that one sin, we shall come back in later chapters.

By their act, going against God’s Will, and by wanting to be like God, their Maker gave them the opportunity to show how much they themselves could make of it all. God’s right to govern was doubted, so know they could come to govern themselves and could come to make something of the world. Because all the children of Adam and Eve came after their choice of adversary they all fell under the spell or curse God came to bring over them. Adam and Eve after eating of the Tree of knowledge came to know the difference between good and evil and became weaker than before, because they now had knowledge. We can not escape the relationship from the first human beings. For just because of their relation to Adam and Eve all men fall under the spell of God and have to bear the consequences of that rebellion of the first carnal man. Being the descendants of Adam and Eve we all became members of a sinful race and we all shall have to face death.

1 Corinthians 15: 21 1For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be 1made alive.

In the letter to the Corinthians we are also told there is a solution. In those Greek Writings we find another confirmation of the same consequent: for Christ is to be considered as opposite to Adam, that as from one man Adam, sin came over all, so from one man Christ, life comes unto all: that is to say, that all the faithful, as they die, because by nature they were born of Adam, so because in Christ they are made the children of God by grace, they are quickened and restored to life by him. {annotation of the 1599 Geneva Patriot’s Edition}

The way the apostle Paul looks at the 1° and the 2° Adam places the Adam-story within a royal context, because the essence of the matter were Adam and Eve impeaching the Divine Creator. Them to query God His Most High position, is the biggest issue. This way a battle over kingship and its relation to the universe was initiated. The position of the one sent from God as a solution is too often missed by the majority of people, even by those who call themselves Christian.

In the Garden of Eden sin entered in the world of man. In a royal garden or orchard Jeshua (Jesus Christ) accepted the fact he must follow not his will but the Will of the Most High God, and should go to the stake. (Matthew 26:36-46)

In the Holy Scriptures a garden is used to express joy, peace and satisfaction.

Jeremiah 31: 12 Therefore they shall come, and rejoice in the height of Zion, and shall run to the bountifulness
of the Lord, even for the 1wheat and for the wine, and for the oil, and for the increase of sheep and bullocks: and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall have no more sorrow.

Adam and Eve had no sorrow in the Garden of Eden. They had everything they needed. But God did wanted to teach them a lesson and did not want them in His Garden any more. Since Adam listened to his wife and ate from the tree whose fruit Jehovah God commanded him not to eat, the ground is cursed because of him.  So his deed became the cause of the earth coming in problems by man. It is often by the wrong actions of men that something bad happens in the world, for example mudslides because men took away all the trees.
All our life now we will have to struggle to scratch a living from it. God told man that it will grow thorns and thistles for us, though man will eat of its grains. This time not for nothing any more, like it was in the Royal Garden. From then onwards man had to make his own garden and work with his own hands for it. By the sweat of our brow, will we have food to eat until we die, i.e. return to the ground from which man were made. Because we shall have to be reminded that we were made from dust, and to dust we will return.
But woman certainly could not escape. For him and her there was first no pain, but knowing now good and bad they also came to know pain and sorrow. The pain of woman’s pregnancy was going to be sharpened, and in pain she will give birth. She still was going to be able to give children, but concerning having control over things it would be more difficult. God warned her that though she still will desire to control her husband, it will be him who is going to rule over her.

Genesis 3: 16  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy 1sorrows, and thy conceptions. In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thy desire shall be subject to thine husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17  Also to Adam he said, Because thou hast obeyed the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, (whereof I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it) cursed is the earth for thy sake: in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth: for out of it wast thou taken, because thou art dust, and to dust shalt thou return.
20 (And the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living)
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God 1make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22  And the Lord God said, 1Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now lest he put forth his hand, and 2take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever,

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the earth, whence he was taken.
24 Thus he cast out the man, and at the East side of the garden of Eden he set the Cherubims, and the blade of a sword shaken, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Adam, Eve, but also we should see that the transgression of God’s commandment was the cause that both mankind and all other creatures were subject to the curse God spoke in that Kingdom of God, the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve, fell from the estate of integrity in which God had created them and now had to build their own kingdom (a kingdom of man) in their own world.

Temptation was the occasion; it was not the cause. To be subjected to temptation is not sinful for the tempted. Embrace and acquiescence constitute sin, i.e. going in against the Will of God.
Eve succumbed to the ideas in her head. Her heart wanted to have so much as God. She herself made the choice to take the fruit and to eat it. She came to the point of overt disobedience to the divine prohibition. Adam trusted his partner and with her in the adventure, hoping also to get the knowledge of good and evil and wanting to become wise (Genesis 3:6 ASV)

The tempter had gained the trust of the first human beings. Eve had accepted as true what was a blasphemous assault upon the veracity of Good and came to regard the tree as desirable in the direction that contravened the divine prohibition. Eve served herself as carnal creature  rather than the Divine Creator.

The mannin her failure to recoil with revulsion from the temptation and the idea that she would not die (Genesis 3:4) is evidence that defection had already taken place and that she exemplified the invariable psychology of sin that overt action proceeds from the inward disposition of heart.

Proverbs 23: 7 For as though he thought it in his heart: so will he say unto thee, Eat and drink: but his heart is not
with thee.

Man loves to give the fault of their wrong doing to others or say it is not from them. But In the Messianic Scriptures the sent one from God clearly warns man that there is nothing outside man. Summoning the multitude rabbi Jeshua (Jesus Christ) addressed the crowd close to him and told them that we should worry about what comes out of man. It is that what is inside and comes outside that pollutes or defiles man. It is from inside, out of man’s heart that come evil thoughts and actions, like self-seeking, pride, jealousy or envying, slander, malice, double-dealing, lying, deceiving, misleading, betraying, sexual vice, adultery, fornication, theft or stealing, wickedness, murder, all things that make a person unclean.

Mark 7: 21 For from within, even out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, uncleanness, a wicked eye, backbiting, pride, foolishness.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.

We may not be mistaken, it is all from within ourselves.  The satan or adversary comes from our inner thoughts which we allow to go wrong and where we give in. We can choose not to follow certain ideas, but when we chose to follow the wrong path then we sin. There may be manyfold temptation but it is how we react on them.Whenever you find yourself surrounded by various temptations do know that it all depends on your choice and on your faith which shall demand action (works of faith), leading to steadfastness, developing endurance. But to withstand such temptation man shall need now the courage to choose the right path and let patience finish its work that you may become fully developed and perfectly equipped, lacking in nothing or in no respect deficient. So when you are drawn away, enticed and baited by your own evil desire, like Eve was, let yourself not be beguiled and allured by your own evil desire and enticed by a bait. Remember that when passion or desire conceives and gives birth to sin, than when the bad act or sin runs its course and get fully matured it shall give birth to death. We may not be mislead and make no mistake about this.

James 1: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own concupiscence, and is enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth 1sin, and sin when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 1Err not my dear brethren.
