First Things has been a falangist rag for years and does not represent the average American Catholic.

It's an unsurprisingly appalling opinion.

Spare a thought for the future law students.

They need to speak to the people over here who can assure them you're a fascist.

I'm sure we only caught the tail end of the rambling part.

Some never do.

Even the dipshit dudebro podcasters who had him on before the election are currently running away from him as fast as possible, this timing is nuts.

Now if in the course of conducting normal voir dire he improperly biases the jury that does indicate wrongful motive and conduct, and the fact he used a normal procedure does not excuse it.

Can normal procedures be used in improper ways? Of course. But that involves examining the actions of the person using them. Put another way - the fact that the judge is using a normal procedure does not by itself prove he's doing something wrong.

Claiming that normal court procedures are not normal undermines the credibility of the claimant. Focus on the conduct that truly is abnormal.

Nope, that's highly unusual for a federal judge.

Not trying to be a pedant, but it's important to know what the regular procedure is so that the truly irregular can be recognized.

Also, as to the opening statements, he limited it to eight minutes per defendant sure to the case having multiple defendants. Total time will still be the same. Again, this is not uncommon in fed crim cases with multiple defendants.

In federal court, it is common for the judges to control the voir dire. Some judges allow attorneys to ask questions, but it's usually limited. So proceeding in this fashion is not abnormal.

It's about money, as always. Broadway shows are ridiculously expensive and the producers want shows that will sell. Jukebox musicals are a way to limit risk by marketing a known commodity.

The damage to the DOJ may be irreparable.

Who was a legal aid lawyer appointed during Biden. Truly head scratching.

I was waiting for this. What the hell was the magistrate thinking signing of on this nonsense?

Cute stunt, but have any of them asked the witnesses why they aren't following clear court orders from federal judges? You know, actual oversight questions?

Didn't really answer the question, did he?

The only way it could have been more Puerto Rican is if they roasted a lechon on stage.

Sugar field to coco cart to the dominoes - it just kept getting more boriqueno by the second.

I laughed out loud at the abuelos playing dominoes.
