somethinggeneric.daliban.social•129 days ago

EVERY single article about a legal case needs to link directly to the filing they are discussing.

I'm so tired of having to search it up to read it myself, when you KNOW they have the link saved.

ann4oakland.bsky.social•129 days ago

And shepardize it? Marbury = still good law
For now …

korgrocks.bsky.social•129 days ago

Wow. Juft wow. 🤣 One has to wonder about the person who transcribed this, and never realized that those letters were not, indeed, the letter “f.” 😂🤣😂🤣

Telling people to just Google everything is how wingnuts do all their research.

I know thif if a famouf cafe but I wafn't a law ftudent and I'm enjoying reading thif in the original - fo thank you for the link becaufe I downloaded it.

jonathanmlewis.bsky.social•129 days ago

I'm not linking Marbury v. Madison.....Google it.

baretree56.bsky.social•129 days ago

I guess I need to google how to do a link- assuming it is similar to cut and paste?

Cool, thanks for the link. I haven’t read early American law since high school. I liked weird things.

rccarol.bsky.social•129 days ago

I’m not rereading that case no matter how many links you post.

To elevate the dialogue all assertions should be cited……keeping it real

Yep. Adding further that the time for predictions is passed. It is now time for facts and reporting - the illegal and the immoral

Yes. No more "they said" or "many people say" or worst "I heard."

And images are not links (even if they are thumbnails of links).

tomfromtemecula.bsky.social•129 days ago

What if you post the link and don’t discuss the article? What part of the body do you eat then?

autisticannie.bsky.social•129 days ago

🎯💯

johnofhearts.bsky.social•129 days ago

This is a pernicious issue even within articles themselves: discussing filings or bills without connecting you to them or even quoting them directly enough for you to know what they're saying.

rendibexti.bsky.social•129 days ago

I appreciate the links. It is so hard to figure out what is real or not without having something to review.

If not something would live a post note stating it is an opinion piece. Facts are critical nowadays

I think we should block anyone who thinks talking about Drake is a good use of time.

‘The Prophecy is just another System of Control’

This Sys? Is particularly counter intuitive.

Takes more Memory/Storage Space to keep multi-copies of files than to just link to ONE source… Unless u want to CONTROL Access.

I think that other place trained everyone to be cautious about posting links because they throttled everything with a link.

The trauma is real LOL.

Hey, George, haven't you heard? Elon Musk says attaching links is for the "lazy people"...lol...

lazeeye.bsky.social•129 days ago

I too get frustrated when people don’t attach links to a post.

emskware.bsky.social•129 days ago

And if it's a link to a website, especially a news article, make sure there's no paywall please. I can't read what you're talking about with the paywall.

George, Canadians following may not realize that they can post links here. Both Meta and Twitter don’t allow us to post news links.

mikeyoung75.bsky.social•129 days ago

Just remember if you still post on the place to copy your links and put them in a reply or Leon will deprioritize your post.

Off topic, but is it possible that our collective bargaining agreements labor agreements at Federal agencies could be stripped? Also, what do you think the chances are being called back into office? My agency gave up a lot of leases. Thanks !

ventifact212.bsky.social•129 days ago

George, am I remembering this correctly “it is emphatically the province of the judiciary to state what the law is!”

As someone who had to read back to the 16th century to address the SCT’s Bruen decision, that’f no laughing matter.

Yes, but did you cherry pick or take it all into account?

mherringe.bsky.social•129 days ago

It’s cherry picking all the way down, isn’t it? I aimed for the conservative read of a truly intellectually dishonest opinion, just to eliminate the worst excesses.

Here you go. The story of Linder v US. SCOTUS ruled 9-0 against a Federal government agency. It made no difference at all. Turns out, SCOTUS doesn't have any cops to enforce their own rulings. We still live with the consequences.
