Probably Not A Crow, Unfortunately

The fact that we have police officers and FBI that have been found to be liars on the stand and they just keep turning it over in Brady material but never, say…firing them…also says a lot.

Also “The Way Things Work” as a “boyhood guidebook” is also journalistic malpractice.

Yeah, I know decent people who failed the California bar, but this is not that.

I made two prosecutors’ days worse today by obsessively remembering legal elements. 💝 🎉

This is what boldly practicing faith requires.

I feel like it doesn’t have to though

The funniest thing about doing public defense is slowly destroying my conservative mother in laws faith in the system. “You can’t have had that many clients today, how would the judge have had time to hear them all?”

*me waiting while she figures it out*

Oh sure but they aren’t even *checking it* apparently.

My instinct was to say “the fact that the government is suggesting they should not be held to on record statements suggests they may be making false declarations and that any and all violations must naturally be willful”

The other public defender was much nicer than I would have been under the circumstances.

Actual prosecutor: “it would be unreasonable for the court to hold us to our actual words on the record.”

I am hearing from a friend that some prosecutors are trying to use AI to automate their discovery obligations and it is going…poorly. I can’t imagine playing roulette with my bar license like that but maybe they just like living dangerously.

That is in fact my question, which remains unanswered.

The drugs are definitely life changing for people who can afford them; it’s just shitty that the reason they are life changing is because the world is built to be discriminatory.

Wait accidental pregnancy? That…kind of sounds like a benny to some. I’m surprised they aren’t advertising that.

Less talky more links to throw money at for attorneys who had a lot of court today please.

100%, and many do. But a lot of the dogs that people think are “fake” are precisely those dogs.

4. As ever, capitalism. In a world where dog walking and sitting services didn’t consume enormous amounts of money, you’d see less perverse incentives.

I think the real problem is not fakers but a different problem, which is:

1. What many people *think* of when they think “service dog” is a very expensive, high degree of training generally not covered by insurance

2. They think that’s the minimum ADA standard

3. It’s not.

Much less like, actively remain attracted to them.

Look I fight politics with my de facto spouse but it’s just different flavors of left I can’t possibly imagine being married to a Trumper right now.

Well - so it’s complicated. Things can be war crimes even when we aren’t at war, because various UN treaties anticipated countries being “we totally aren’t at war boss and that’s why this was fine” and were like “no it fucking isn’t you pieces of shit.”

It’s basically asserting dual jurisdiction.

If you would like to know what the life of being an ethical lawyer is like, it’s getting chewed out for “trying too hard” for a client.

Holy shit he outlawed dip? I’m surprised there wasn’t a fragging.

I had two good 1sgts that if they called me today and said they were on the run from Johnny law I would seriously consider tearing up my bar card and hiding them. The rest could be on fire and I’m not sure I would spit to put them out.

I would say colonel, but otherwise you’re not wrong. I have met some absolutely DGAF colonels. They knew they were never going to get a star because of stances they had taken and weren’t heartbroken by it.

This is not, for the record, hyperbole: I am absolutely offering a unilateral contract, and you, if a reporter, are welcome and encouraged to accept it by performance and come show the video and get your 200$.

200$ to the first reporter to ask Mike Johnson, on camera, “As an attorney, have you heard it is professional misconduct to engage in conduct involving dishonesty, deceit or misrepresentation, and that lawyers holding public office assume legal responsibilities going beyond those of other citizens?”

Quoting this as well, to point out Hegseth’s weird hero worship issues started early. No one wanted Steele, aka Temu Colonel Kurtz, in charge of them, in combat or any other place. The man was well known as a motherfucking lunatic.

For those of you wondering exactly why Hegseth was never allowed to command a Company, or to exercise operational leadership ever again in his military career, here you are:
