Using a real law library today for the first time in ages (I needed some LaFave treatises) and it has been delightful #appellatesky

Bird Law Expert @birdlawexpert.bsky.social · 7d

it’s hard to believe there are still two more to do to finish the squad, but the Death Riders are *almost* done #paintingwarhammer #deathkorpsofkrieg #imperialguard

When you lose an appeal on the merits but the court compliments your “restraint” in not making spurious harmlessness arguments #appellatetwitter #appellatesky

After finishing my first Death Rider three months ago, I finally finished a second. At this rate I will finish the squad in 2028 #warhammercommunity #deathkorpsofkrieg #paintingwarhammer

I too find Joe Walsh’s Turn to Stone reminiscent of Sodom’s destruction by The Lord

of all the cases one could cite for the premise that “reliance is not the watchword of stare decisis,” my opponent chose Dobbs. A curious choice.

Bird Law Expert @birdlawexpert.bsky.social · 21d

when I used to try cases, I would tell witnesses (especially cops) not to fight with lawyers on cross because you, the witness, will always look worse

I see that either no one gave the FBI director that advice, or he declined to follow it

SWALWELL: Did you ever tell the AG that Trump's name is in the Epstein files

PATEL: The AG and I have had numerous discussions about the entirety of the Epstein files

S: Did you tell AG that Trump's name is in the files?

P: *crashes out*

S: We'll take your evasiveness as consciousness of guilt

Oh fun, thanks for sharing! I do love an informative TikTok

Man ain’t that the truth

Bird Law Expert @birdlawexpert.bsky.social · 25d

since whether Nazis were left or right wing is a hot topic on the other app today, I’ll just say “Nazis were socialists” is about as historically valid as “Confederates were Democrats” - in name, but not in anything else

also, isn’t it weird how they’ll use these labels but also be big fans?

I’ve watched the series with Ethan Hawke but haven’t read the book. It’s on my list though!

Bird Law Expert @birdlawexpert.bsky.social · 26d

I have not. This would be my second Brown bio after John Brown, Abolitionist, so I will add Midnight Rising to the list

It would be pretty hypocritical of me to say “political violence is never the answer” while reading this book, so I will not
