True, but we had been training on handwriting daily for 17+ years by that point.

"A new Marquette Law School Poll national survey finds strong support for federal courts when they rule against the president on legal matters. When asked whether a president must obey a ruling by a federal court, 79% say the president must obey and 21% say the president can ignore the ruling."

Some thoughts on "white genocide" in South Africa, as a scholar of both South Africa and genocide. The idea of a "white genocide" has been floating around for well over a decade.
To assess the claims, requires looking both at the treatment of whites in South Africa and the definition of genocide.

Asked to comment on Vought's quote, the White House sent a statement from an unnamed senior administration official: "What about the January 6 defendants and political prisoners who suffered real trauma and committed suicide over the harassment, bullying and imprisonment by bureaucrats who weaponized the government against them?"

When the White House was asked about Vought's promise to traumatize employees, they responded with "what about the J6ers?"
Perfect distillation of an ethos where those serving the government are viewed as less worthy than those seeking to destroy it.

My own view is that law school classes for the most part teach the basic concepts in a field -- the "instincts" you mention in the first paragraph. The time limit is not so much to mimic some real-world exercise, but to see if the students have absorbed the essential framework that precedes research

Your email is too important for your computer to allow you to jeopardize it.

For the reasons stated above, the government's motion for a stay of the transfer order requiring Öztürk's transportation from immigration custody in Louisiana to immigration custody in the District of Vermont is DENIED. The government's request for a writ of mandamus is also DENIED. The administrative stay entered by this Court is hereby VACATED. Recognizing both that the district court's original transfer deadline has passed, along with the practical and legal consequences of our decision for the parties, the government is hereby ORDERED to comply with the district court's transfer order within one week of the date of this opinion. Accordingly, the district court's April 18, 2025 Order is hereby amended as follows: "To support the Court's resolution of these issues, the Court orders that Ms. Öztürk be physically transferred to ICE custody within the District of Vermont no later than May 14, 2025." The district court may amend its hearing schedule as it deems necessary in light of this order.
