More unnecessary chaos created by a man who understands nothing about the economics of the movie business.

I agree about the need for a cultural change. But the level of gun violence doesn't even seem to register on people for more than a few minutes. This is compounded by the fact that ICE agents are strutting around with guns & assaulting people. There is so much chaos that little gets through.

I think it's time for the Administration to do something besides focusing on ICE raids, sowing economic confusion, and enriching the president.

Gun violence has reached epidemic proportions and it gets lost in the chaos that the Administration has created.

Who is going to break it to Bondi that she doesn't have sentencing power?

The WSJ should also seek Rule 11 sanctions. The defamation suit is baseless.

Sadly, I don't think these people know better. Miller never went to law school. Bondi probably just doesn't know the law. They don't care about getting it right. They care about the soundbite.

Rep. Jim Himes: "Look at your senator, look at your governor, look at your member of congress — if they didn't say 'Deep breath, calm down. In this country, we don't have enemies, we have people who disagree with us, and that's a strength of this country,' then fire them."

Am I missing something? I thought that the federal and state authorities do not (and cannot) force private property owners to lower their flags.

Disappointing that Perkins Coie reacted to the backlash and fired a lawyer for negative comments about Kirk. Also somewhat ironic.

There were studies that looked at whether video games led to violent behavior. They didn't find support for this theory. I thought it was put to rest a decade ago.

Russell Vought, Head of OMB, "said in a statement to The Times that the contraceptives had been destroyed, and falsely suggested that they induced abortion."

3/ None of this is normal. If Republicans continue to view themselves as Trump's employees, instead of an independent branch charged with checking runaway executive power, the damage to our democracy will be fatal.

Thank you for all that you do to keep this continuing story from dropping out of sight.

There are so many reasons why it would be a terrible idea for the Florida Supreme Court to agree an ethics investigation against Bondi cannot proceed. And unfortunately, it is likely that's exactly what the court will decide.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to be a university president right now.

FWIW... I maintain my bar licenses because being a licensed lawyer is part of my identity. I also do it so I can perform pro bono work and so I don't have to worry whether the advice I am giving constitutes the practice of law. (CT has a very broad definition.)

Fair point. But I think It's going to be inevitable in movies and similar content. it many not be entirely AI. But AI will be incorporated.

You almost undoubtedly will. You just won't always know it.

Really happy to see the district court judges doing their jobs, regardless of what SCOTUS may ultimately do.

Attorney General Pam Bondi fires DOJ staffer for alleged obscene gesture toward National Guard members The Justice Department on Friday confirmed the termination of a paralegal accused of flipping off National Guard troops on her way to work.

Edmonton Public removing more than 200 library books to comply with provincial rules | Globalnews.ca Edmonton’s public school board is pulling more than 200 books from its library shelves to comply with provincial directive on banning books containing inappropriate sexual content.

Just imagine how much better things would be in Alberta if we removed idiots from positions of authority instead of books from libraries.

Anything that aggravates him and diverts him from doing real damage is fine with me.

En direct, guerre en Ukraine : si Vladimir Poutine ne rencontre pas Volodymyr Zelensky d’ici à lundi, il se « sera joué » de Donald Trump, estime Emmanuel Macron Le président ukrainien a de nouveau exprimé sa volonté d’obtenir des « garanties de sécurité juridiquement contraignantes » en cas de cessez-le-feu ou d’accord de paix.

Emmanuel Macron: by Monday it will be clear that Putin has yet again played Donald Trump, just has he has now done continuously for many years. Trump is merely his plaything. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Absolutely true. You can't do this in an area like immigration law.

It's also possible, with very little training, to help domestic violence victims fill out court forms seeking restraining orders.

True. But there's pro bono work that can be done outside of court that virtually any lawyer can do with minimal training.

Good news for Missouri. Many will be delighted to see him go.

I'm teaching Legal Profession this semester. On Day 1 I'm assigning an article describing the opinion striking down the EO aimed at Susman Godfrey. The article's last line reads: “The Order threatens the independence of the bar — a necessity for the rule of law.”

Nothing subtle here.
