Let's get this straight:

- Alok Verma couldn't be sent on a leave or suspended because his tenure is fixed... But that happened.

- Asthana couldn't have complaints filed against him because a recently amended law prevents it... But that happened.
- Neither Verma nor Asthana could be moved from their positions because both were dealing with cases and SC had ordered them to remain... But that happened.

- As a bonus, a bunch of other officers were transferred in bulk because... Lol why not.

Laws have truly become a joke.
And now... This.

What is happening even.

ALERT!
Supplementary List of Business in Lok Sabha is out.

Two bills listed for introduction, including the Constitutional Amendment Bill for 10% Quota. What's more, it is also listed for consideration and passing TODAY!
#SansadWatch
They seem to be in the mood to bulldoze this bill through. It's a super important Constitutional Amendment, mind you.

No time will be given to MPs for filing amendments. The Bill was circulated TODAY! Parliamentary practice is being thrown out the window.
#SansadWatch
In his interview to @smitaprakash, PM Modi had said that there should be deep discussions in Parliament on every aspect. But when his Government introduces and pushes through bills at such short notice, what they heck is he even talking about?

Whattay farce.

Lok Sabha resumes with hearty Happy New Year cheers.

Slowly and steadily they get replaced by random JUSTICE JUSTICE chants.
#SansadWatch
Can't quite figure out which party is screaming in Lok Sabha. INC MPs are asking supplementary questions & you can see their MPs sitting quietly in the background.
House adjourned to meet at 12 pm.

Aadhaar Amendment Bill to be introduced in Lok Sabha today. This will probably be cleared and certified as a money bill.

Because, you know, who gives a damn.
#SansadWatch
Reports indicate this Bill circumvents the SC Judgment. It will again allow private companies to use and exploit Aadhaar.

Thread. 👇
This bill has not been introduced yet. A draft should be available to the public but... well, it isn't. After introduction today, sufficient time needs to be given to MPs for filing amendments.

If it is bulldozed through shamelessly, it's fraud.
Pure and simple.

(1/21) The 2017-18 @HouseGOP had plenty of indictments, #GOPCorruption, and ethical breaches (see my 21-tweet-thread: ). Now meet House GOP freshmen being sworn in on 1/3/19. With their baggage, they'll fit right in.

(2/21) Ross Spano @RossSpano #FL15
In a clear violation of @FEC campaign finance regs, Spano funded his campaign with large, unreported loans from personal friends. Given the amt & his relatively narrow win margin, it's shocking he is even being seated. (tampabay.com/florida-politi…)
(3/21) Anthony Gonzalez @anthonygonzalez #OH16
In another flouting of @FEC regulations, Gonzalez faced scrutiny for apparently (and illegally) colluding with a supportive Super PAC that was funded solely by - wait for it - Gonzalez's father! (washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/christ…)

Very odd development in Boston: The National Police Association has filed a bar complaint against incoming Suffolk County DA Rachael Rollins. The complaint can be found here: nationalpolice.org/dev/wp-content… 1/x
The crux of the complaint is that the NPA is upset about Rollins statements during the campaign that there are certain crimes that she will not prosecute when she assumes office next month. (Full disclosure: I wrote about the list a few months ago: prawfsblawg.blogs.com/prawfsblawg/20… 2/x
To be clear, I am characterizing the substance of the complaint as the NPA being "upset" because it is very difficult to ascertain which ethics rules Rollins is supposed to have violated. Instead, NPA seems to be using the word "unethical" in a colloquial manner. 3/x

NEW: The 10th Circuit has dismissed ethics complaints filed against now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh — as a SCOTUS justice, he's no longer covered by the judiciary's disciplinary system, the judges concluded uscourts.gov/courts/ca10/10…
STORY: All of the ethics complaints against now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh have been dismissed — a panel of judges concluded the judiciary's disciplinary system no longer applies to Kavanaugh now that he's a SCOTUS justice buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
SCOTUS doesn't have its own formal disciplinary process, so there's no mechanism within the federal judiciary to vet ethics complaints against Kavanaugh buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil… Congress could still investigate if they wanted to, see this previous piece: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

JY is the same man who joked about helping 10 year old girls insert a tampon.

"16 Canadian women have had human rights complaints filed against them by MTF trans individual for gender identity discrimination after they refused to wax his male genitalia."

dailywire.com/news/38105/tra…
"JY had also talked about being a trans woman online—in posts asking for advice on how to approach a naked ten-year-old girl to ask for a tampon, and whether it is appropriate to show a young girl how to use it."

amp.economist.com/briefing/2018/…
This is Jonathan Yaniv, the man who is currently suing sixteen Canadian women for refusing to wax his genitals.

He also wants to know if he can "bond" with naked ten year old girls about "period stuff" and wonders if he can help girls insert tampons.

NEW: Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to #SCOTUS, but the ethics complaints filed against him haven't gone away — per letter just made public, Chief Justice John Roberts is transferring them to the 10th Circuit buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
What happens now? Judicial ethics experts have said they expect the complaints against Kavanaugh ultimately to be dismissed — the misconduct review process that applies to lower court judges doesn't cover justices, and #SCOTUS doesn't have its own system buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Notably, the 10th Circuit is where Roberts sent an ethics complaint against former DC federal district chief judge Richard Roberts, re: decades-old allegation pre-dating his time as a judge that he sexually abused a teenage witness in a case he prosecuted buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
