So, the Judge altered the caption and did that intro…Article 3 means never having to say sorry I guess.

Makes adverse possession arguments pretty interesting if the bear hangs on for a few more years…

What a way to spend Christmas

This probably made me laugh more than I should have.

What a powerful statement from a genuinely great lawyer and an even better human that has contributed to so much to this Country—not to mention #apellatetwitter.

I read the decision, thought I should share with you, and then, when I backed out of it, the site updated and I lost it. I think this concurrence does Yeoman’s work for explaining why (cleaned up) is superior

State action. Only way the Constitution applies is if it is State action…

This one. This one wins the internet today.

This made me chuckle. How do you offend an entire journal enough to alter the parenthetical…

So many thoughts on today but the idea that the wardrobe of those in the meetings today had something to do with what happened is summed up far better with @dieworkwear.bsky.social thread than anything I can do.

In short—tie, no tie, the yelling happens and everything else is subterfuge.

Wow…just terrible officiating to start the game.

Every time…

Here…comes…DUKE!!!!

It’s also a shame there is not a beloved television show that could explain this process to those elected representatives.

Remember the judge that ordered two lawyers to get lunch and talk it out?

Well, they did it.

Nevada court blocks police from using federal loophole for civil forfeiture In a landmark decision for property rights, a Washoe County judge has ruled that Nevada law enforcement cannot exploit a federal program to circumvent state law

Property rights in Nevada are a little stronger after a very well reasoned decision from Judge Steinheimer. This fight certainly is not over, but today, today is a good day for liberty in the Silver State.

America lost another great Sailor today. Your contributions to our seafaring Nation are well documented. His contributions to genuine humanitarian and good causes is equally well document and equally impressive. Rest in power Jimmy Carter.

Fair winds and following seas shipmate. We have the watch.

I called it weeks ago that @stevevladeck.bsky.social would rabble rouse the 5th Circuit with the CTA decision…

Honestly, slippers are the most thoughtful gifts for parents with small children because it protects you and makes sure you don’t slip and almost break your neck Home Alone style. To say the least, I am so happy with my new slippers in spite of the thousands of new small toys in my home now

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

Small world…good for AB if he gets hired and turns UNC around

The five stages of writing a reply brief:

1 - "I can't read their opposition, there might be something devastating in there."

2 -::reads:: this is ridiculous, OC suuuuuuucks

3 - ::rage writes::

4 - okay this is too angry ::edits::

5 - note the parts left unaddressed, intro, edit, file!

And the powers that be will move where the mute button is placed

Can state officers search or arrest for federal marijuana offenses where state law has legalized it? Difficult question, fed court concludes. But this is a govt motion for reconsideration, so error has to be clearly established. Open question, so govt loses. drive.google.com/file/d/14uE6... #N

This is great

This. This one wins the internet today

I mean, the federal judge in his favorite federal circuit court of appeal jurisdiction issued a universal injunction for the CTA on commerce clause grounds is the lowest of hanging fruit for Steve

This is the portion that I 🤦🏻‍♂️ because it just seems very very wrong from a legal reasoning perspective. The law imposes real costs that’s for sure, but the grounds in which the court struck it down seems…wrong
