As a frequent participant in high-stakes and high-profile cases 1998-2023, I observed pervasive bad faith of copyright industry extremists whose personal vilification of those whom they opposed was a foreshadowing of our country’s toxic divide today. Many sold their souls to distort the law.

So he votes, the Trump administration indicts and arrests him, and then he plays the “absolute immunity” card. The more I think about his “absolute immunity,” the potential arises for him to do some pretty wild things.

The NY Times and Wall Street journal should also pay local newspapers, right? Local delivery across the country of those NY newspapers did a lot of harm to local newspapers. I canceled my local papers years ago when NYT arrived. (I have resubscribed since then, but the effect was real.)

Yes. Pete Hegseth tells you to listen when Pam Bondi tells you to break the law and use force against your own countrymen on behalf of lies and anti-Constitutional dictatorship... Probably won't go over great.

Even better: one of my favorite clients, in a case that sadly I was not on, won in CADC and *joined in* the petitioners’ request for review, saying that it wanted a victory in the Supreme Court and not merely in the court of appeals. The Court granted cert and ruled for my client as it wanted.

10b5-1 plans set up regular trades on a predetermined schedule, are standard, and avoid implications of insider trading. Execs are crazy not to sell immediately upon exercising options, because of tax risks. Few publications make this clear. This article mentions the plans but doesn’t explain them.

I think so. I don’t think there is a chain of authorization requirement for information. Compare to a recalled email that the recipient screenshotted and posts the screenshot. As I know you know, 230 treats users and providers the same.

These fascists don’t use the words “crime” and “criminal” the way normal people do.
In normal language, crime is an illegal action; criminals are individuals who did crimes.
But to fascists, criminal is something people they hate are, unrelated to actions. Law following Haitian migrant? “Criminal”

“I just wanted the racism and the illegal removal of immigrants. I didn’t want him to hit my pocketbook.”

How did it work out for persons buying German Papiermarks on the dips during 1921-1923?

No charges, so it’s just a hostage situation then.
