US Virgin Islands wants access to secret Ghislaine Maxwell files
[NYP] The US Virgin Islands asked for permission to view sealed documents in a civil case against Ghislaine Maxwell as part of their lawsuit against the estate of multi-millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In court papers filed Tuesday, a lawyer for the territory’s government argued the sealed documents in the defamation case brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre are "very likely relevant" to their case against Epstein’s estate.

They argue the sealed material is of particular importance because Epstein himself cannot testify in their suit against him because of his suicide in 2019.

"In light of Epstein’s death in federal prison after the discovery in this action was taken, his direct testimony is unavailable to the USVI. Thus, any testimony by or about Epstein in this action may be critical to the USVI’s law enforcement action," attorney William Narwold wrote in the court filing.

The sealed material in the Giuffre case has been at the center of a legal battle between herself and Maxwell, who is fighting to keep depositions and other evidence in the case secret.

A number of documents in the case were made public in July, including a deposition by Giuffre in which she detailed "constant orgies" on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands.

When asked where she saw Maxwell have sex with other women, Giuffre said "100 percent" the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned his private Little St. James Island.

"The island was a place where orgies were a constant thing that took place. And again, it’s impossible to know how many," Giuffre said in the deposition.

In a civil suit filed in January, the US Virgin Islands alleged Epstein abused victims on the island as recently as 2019.

Maxwell is awaiting trial on charges she procured underage girls for Epstein to abuse and lied about it under oath.

-Land of the Free
California Tries to Save Gun Magazine Confiscation Scheme
[FreeBeacon] California Democrats are launching a longshot legal maneuver to protect a gun-control law that a federal appeals court declared unconstitutional.

Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D.) requested an "en banc" review of a three-judge panel that ruled the state's ban on the possession of any magazine holding more than 10 rounds, even those Californians previously bought legally, ran afoul of the Second Amendment. Such a review would convene every judge in the Ninth Circuit. Chuck Michel, president of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, said gun-rights advocates are willing to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court if Becerra succeeds in his appeal.

"This case may present the opportunity to set things straight on the broader issue of what the standard of review test should be when considering any Second Amendment challenge," he told the Washington Free Beacon. "The Supreme Court seems inclined to do away with the complicated subjective tests that many courts have wrongly applied in Second Amendment cases, in favor of a clearer, more objective ’originalist' approach that considers the text, history, and tradition of a law to determine what infringements might be tolerated."

Becerra said in a statement that he disagreed with the initial ruling and will "continue to use every tool we have to defend the constitutionality of our laws."

In 2016, a Ninth Circuit "en banc" panel overturned a similar three-judge panel's decision in Peruta v. San Diego, which declared California's restrictive gun-carry law unconstitutional. President Donald Trump has since appointed 10 new judges to the circuit, which may make the new panel more sympathetic toward gun-rights arguments. If the panel rules in favor of the plaintiffs, the outcome could have a significant impact on the future of magazine bans or mass confiscation orders.

Gun-rights advocates have been disappointed by the Supreme Court's reluctance to take Second Amendment cases in recent years. While the High Court reaffirmed that modern devices like stun guns are covered by Second Amendment protections in the unanimous Caetano v. Massachusetts in 2016, it has denied numerous challenges to state gun restrictions.

The confiscation measure is not being enforced due to the rulings, but the ban on sales of magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds remains in place as the case is being deliberated.
Seriously Phuck California.

They don't want you to be able to fight back

August Shatters Another Gun Sales Record
[Free Beacon] August 2020 saw more gun sales than any other August on record as Americans continue to rush to gun stores at a record pace.

A Washington Free Beacon analysis of FBI data released on Tuesday found a 57 percent increase in sales compared to August 2019. There were at least 1.6 million sales in August 2020. Only two previous Augusts had broken a million sales, though limitations in FBI reporting means that not every gun sale is captured in the data. August represents the sixth month in a row to set a new sales record with March seeing the most gun sales of any month in the history of the FBI background check system.

Sales thus far in 2020 have soared past previous years. Sales through the first eight months of the year are up 43 percent over the previous record.

#2  Well, Crapple controls the design and production of their hardware, so they can probably do that.

#4  COVID as excuse for about three months now. Nah, four at least.

So what does that mean, virus tracing?

I suppose that means that it will go through your entire travel history, and history of trying to connect to other peoples' device via bluetooth and whatnot.

Does that mean then, especially if other device runs Apple and/or Google, then that device is activated and that unit's entire travel and/or connectivity history is accessed.

And so on. And so on.

Conversely, could an individual be selected, and like a game of Kevin Bacon, traced to someone who has tested positive for whatever?

Apple and Google: look at us, we are so edgy and in, we are the creative class.

Also Apple and Google: yeah, we're pretty much the Borg.

#9  Believing that you are a man does not change the physical reality that you are a woman. Believing in something contrary to physical reality to the detriment of your well-being is pretty much the definition of delusional mental illness. No different from believing you are a bird and breaking your leg when you attempt to fly from your balcony.

"Modern" progressivism's infiltration of the medical profession and psychology has done immense damage to these people, who formerly would have been treated for the disconnect, instead of having their aberrant condition reinforced.
