Wick

I am eagerly awaiting DOJ’s response that the appeal is not moot because there is a probability that DOJ will continue to disobey court orders in the future.

It's the Raiders. You expect good decisions from them?

Grading on a Raider's curve, I can almost see it. (a) Las Vegas must overpay (b) having an experienced center for a rookie quarterback is a priority (c) demand at the position and (d) Gap between TL and the next best available was vast.

My answer would be "I don't, and I don't." Put the burden of proof on him where it belongs.

A wise general counsel would look at Sidley Austin hedging their bets in the signature block as a sign that this may not be a wise course of action.

I agree with you, although there is a certain rough justice in the programmers of a frivolous motion machine being hit by a frivolous lawsuit for their conduct.

Too many people confuse obduracy for advocacy.

Post appears to have been rewritten to correct the error. It was in the first paragraph.

It's a factual error in the NPR piece. Very credible publication, but this just seems like a comment on the NPR error.

You are not all that old, apparently.

Elizabeth Warren has had some pretty big corporate clients at some points in her career. That has hardly turned her into a corporate shill in the Senate.

All the folks who have idealistic standards about the type of law one should practice and the clients attorneys should represent, have precisely no clue about the realities of the legal job market and the economics of maintaining a law practice.

Free Speech Absolutists are the 21st Century equivalent to the Holy Roman Empire, in that none of the three words are accurately applied.

Pepperdine? Seriously? That's been a right wing hotbed for decades?

This '83 concurs.

Amendment would be more durable. What is changed by court packing can be undone when the other side regains control of the Court.

The non-emergency appellate process is not speedy. The brief is being filed rather promptly under those standards.

In the jurisdiction from which I retired, Malpractice Insurance was not required, although, if you didn't have it, you were required to disclose that to the client, in writing, before undertaking the representation. Unfortunately, compliance with that rule was also a problem.

If a lawyer is clueless enough to try this, I'd be surprised if he had malpractice insurance. There are way too many marginal lawyers running around without it, especially solos.

Speaking as someone who has been put in an overwhelming situation with regard to case load, you can just get sucked into the work and lose track of just how ridiculous your situation is. You don't think about the ethical duty of competency because you don't have time to consider the big picture.

Arrest George Soros for violating Child Labor Laws!!!

It's really difficult to find something so stupid that this DOJ wouldn't do, but still . . .

Obviously in fear for their lives.

Cue allegations blaming the mother and that the girl is a crisis actor. 3 2 1 . . .

"The street finds its own uses for things." William Gibson 1982.

It's a testimony to the unpredictability of the NFL that none that the two Super Bowl contestants were picks 16 and 22. That's a big part of what keeps us all coming back.

It's just a reminder that the league is run for the benefit of the owners, not the fans, players, coaches and front office staff.

Congrats.

On a semi-practical note, when my cat tree starts to wobble, retightening the bolts with the Allen wrench restores stability.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled Star Trek snark.

They can only give him store credit until the next coup attempt.

This is so feckless that I am fuckless; I have no fucks left to give. Democratic Congressional leaders need to be replaced.

Texans OL has been better than expected for most of the year, but the lack of depth is killing them with players out.

And proud of it!
