And is exactly the kind of thing that Denmark would pick, because the Danes somehow manage to always choose the blandest possible entry.

Do I understand correctly that the administration said they'd detain any refugee who didn't get an adjustment to LPR after one year and then stopped processing refugee applications to adjust to LPR? Leading to inevitable mandatory detention of every refugee who didn't adjust to LPR before 2025?

AAG for Antitrust Gail Slater has abruptly resigned with no reason. Just a few days ago, DAAG Mark Hamer, who led litigation and civil enforcement, resigned abruptly with no reason. The latest nominee for the FTC has no apparent qualifications for the position whatsoever. What even is antitrust law?

I don't know if you're in the US or UK right now, but NBC did a bit on both those things in some of the interval coverage.

Oddly, my wife, who doesn't like country music at all, said that was her favorite from the semi.

A conversation I had with a U.S. lawyer who is learning another country's law:
Them: "Under Dillon's rule for municipalities, the state can't mess with the elections."
Me: "Under Dhillon's rule, though, you're required to mess with the elections."

That was worthy of a Moldovan semi, not a Swedish one. It did not work.

The North Carolina appellate courts have been steadfast in refusing to abolish the heartbalm torts and there has been minimal support in the General Assembly for doing so, even after judgments in the millions. The most they could muster was some procedural reform in 2009, codified at Gen Stat 52-13.

Wait, it's incorporated in New Jersey and is arguing that New Jersey isn't a proper venue for an internal corporate governance matter where New Jersey law would apply? What?

Did you notice that on the arrest warrant the magistrate judge struck through the FACE Act count (which could be a misdemeanor) saying no PC and left only the felony conspiracy to deprive rights count? So now the DOJ has to indict, which, good luck.

They do use a 50Β’/share "M&A option value" in parts of their analysis "for illustrative purposes" as a "theoretical possibility."

Wouldn't it just be a repeat of the Bijan Ghaisar situation? Criminal charge, removal to federal court, federal court dismisses on immunity grounds?

"Only Teardrops" was...fine. Sure, it deserved its win but I don't think it holds up. #ESC250

But she could! And then the entire arena would be lit up in extremely bright white lights! (It was extremely stark in the Olympiiski.)
