I agree with this sentiment completely. Juries are wrong plenty of the time, but they are basically incorruptible, and not a single juror has ever worried about being reelected or reappointed to the position.

Two of Tennessee’s Court of Criminal Appeals judges just disqualified themselves in a shaken baby case. The Governor’s Council for Judicial appointments just nominated *both* of them for a promotion to the Tennessee Supreme Court.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Could have gotten a bazillion dollar valuation if they’d just added blood test results on top of this.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

So I participated in a Zoom CLE the other day. There was a live transcript that was perfect (not just good; *perfect*). I don’t know what the technology is, but court reporters charge a per diem of hundreds of dollars plus thousands of dollars to create the resulting transcript, which takes weeks.

I finally got around to reading the dissent in the Texas voting rights case. It is the most unhinged judicial opinion I’ve ever encountered and it’s not even a particularly close call.

It’s also just bad writing. The economy of words matters; he could have just said “it’s the Jews” and been done with it.
My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.
But worry not, he has a footnote explaining why his fixation on Soros "is not political."

If you ever wondered why lawyers get spearphished so much, it’s because clerks send egregious emails that look like this every goddamn day (this is real)

She is among the least sympathetic people alive, but despite that reality, I wish we didn’t have bipartisan consensus that prisons need to be putrid places of perpetual agony. American prisons are grotesquely inhumane. They are cruel. They do not promote rehabilitation. This shit doesn’t help.
Unique among inmates, Ghislaine Maxwell gets room service in her cell, after-hours access to recreation, a private visitor suite with refreshments and even a service-dog puppy to play with.

I’d love to know what would have happened if Democrats had tried even a little to make the case that “immigration is good, actually,” which is *extremely easy.* It’s starting to happen now as ICE violently snatches day laborers for no fucking reason, and sentiment seems to be shifting as a result.
