SpaceX says they lost control of their rocket. How do you lose control of a ballistic rocket? For that matter how do you exercise control of a ballistic rocket. It isn't like you use power steering on the way to low earth orbit.

In 1873, Justice Edward Ryan, chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, addressed the graduating class of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and asked: Which shall rule—wealth or man?
The day has come—and on Tuesday, Wisconsinites will answer that question. 🧵

To understand why Democrats are angry with Chuck Schumer's leadership, he voted for cloture. Cloture shuts off debate. It requires more than a majority. At a time when most Democrats want to scream, Chuck held one side of the duct tape.

Whether Judge Boasberg was correct on the law is largely irrelevant to whether the government is in contempt for willfully disobeying it. If the Trump administration knew there was an order from a federal judge and then willfully violated it, that is the end of the analysis.
