Not me, "I have no intention of being a railroad lawyer," finding myself irate over Hynes v. New York Central (1921, ffs 🙄) If not for the illegal affixing of the diving board to the private property the trespasser wouldn't have been there in the first place. Please be serious.

Reading a book about The Bluebook (which is bad enough in itself), but who's genius idea was it to create separate citation methods for academics and practitioners? Surely the logical folks that make up our legal community were able to foresee the benefit of seamless integration? 🤦‍♀️

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

Absolutely wild that there are folks out there (on this site, even) that, in the midst of this otherworldly shit show we're all experiencing, are still trying to justify not voting for Kamala because she campaigned with Liz Cheney.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Please remember that this administration is not “the government.” They are not governing. The government is not the bad guy. Trump and the oligarchs are the bad guys. They are dismantling “the government.”

"Criticism of legal writing is nothing new. In 1596, an English chancellor decided to make an example of a particularly prolix document filed in his court.

I shared someone else's take on this earlier but I can't get it out of my head what an unbelievably bad tweet this is. We elected people to fight for us, not just throw up their hands and let democracy slip away.

This post nailed it. The point of attacking Bishop Budde is to make everyone else afraid to speak up. If they succeed at that… that’s tantamount to acquiescence. Our job is to get LOUDER every time they try this tactic, and show support for those who are speaking out publicly.

What are we supposed to do with this information? Obviously the sovereigns he's threatening have the right to defend themselves. But how exactly are those of us who have done everything we can to oppose him to no avail supposed to stop him?

I really don't understand the point of posts like this -- Aside from the the fact that this platform doesn't even offer bookmarking; what are you hoping to achieve here other than fearmongering? No tips on how to prepare or resist. Just, "it's gonna be even worse than you think!" Unhelpful.

How quickly we forget the Congressman's willingness to turn on Biden when he was still the nominee - acting out against both party leadership and the consensus of the constituency. Look how that turned out. I wish to continue to like Jamie, but I haven't forgiven him. Proceed with caution.
