As someone who practices in state courts only, 23 grand jurors seems like a lot?

A lawyer at our firm unexpectedly quit and a judge was unhappy so he show-caused me (who had never even stepped foot in his courtroom) to come explain who would be taking over those cases. I hadn't done anything wrong but it was still one of the more nerve-wracking experiences of my career.

I specifically remember being told that opposing hate speech laws was the same as supporting hate speech and that “what will happen when the other guy gets ahold of this” was reactionary nonsense.

Huh.

How did all that work out for Mr. Desmoulins?

I mean it's at least somewhat ironic that the guy calling a woman an ugly c-nt over liking a different football team works for a company that specializes in DEI initiatives.

All the crazy ways the 5th Cir grants QI and they deny it on this one, which actually seems like a legit QI case to me! I found the dissent far more persuasive, and that's saying something. It's a mess.

whoa whoa whoa, tackle? you clearly missed this line in the majority opinion:

"Cantu did not tackle Martinez but put his arms around Martinez’s upperbody and neck, and took him to the ground for handcuffing."

"Cantu did not tackle Martinez but put his arms around Martinez’s upper body and neck, and took him to the ground for handcuffing."

... otherwise known as tackling?

the whole point of being a judge is that you show up whenever you want and everyone has to kiss your ass.

I tell this to our younger associates and they look at me like I'm crazy because much of my docket is "bad" cases but I won't touch a contractor fraud case.

The worldview they operate in is one where everyone is a conman and everything is con. They don't trust you because they assume you are also trying to get one over on them. They lie, lie and lie about completely insignificant things. I stopped taking these cases years ago because it's not worth it

If you read the accuser in Job as Satan, then yes.

Paul is sensing that the dynamic between he and John is changing, and John is sensing that at some point he's going to be moving on. I think even "In My Life" is John anticipating the coming of Yoko and how that will change his relationship with the Beatles and Paul in particular.

Listening to Rubber Soul and Revolver lately and hearing songs more as John and Paul talking to each other rather than about love interests, in particular "You Won't See Me" "I'm Looking Through You" and "And Your Bird Can Sing."

When George isn't in Congress, all the other representatives should be asking, "where's George?"
