Also, even as to written orders, it really depends on the font, I would think

"There are actually questions about whether a verbal order carries the same weight as a written order" -- Leavitt on court orders and Trump's compliance (or lack thereof) with them

The main thing is whether the judge struck his her gavel against a wooden sounding board with a loud and satisfying "thwack!"

The written order wasn't in all caps, there was no exclamation point, it was written in helvetica, (is that even english? I don't know. Maybe that's an illegal font) etc.

It’s only a Trumpian Order if it is written in Sharpie. Otherwise it’s just a plain old wishful think. (?!#{<^~)

If the font hadn't been created at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, then the writing is constitutionally invisible. Originalist fonts only.

Hey, if briefs get rejected for not using Times New Roman, it's only fair for orders to get rejected too.

I only follow comic sans orders.

And the pen! There’s all kinds of pens for signing things, as we’ve learned.

Also where people are standing when different things happen! Physically standing. Or sitting.

This administration is really getting to the heart of these legal matters, thank goodness.

It doesn't count unless it starts or ends with "please"

Was the written order signed electronically, or...

To pile on, print an appeal on Comic Sans and it’s a mandatory death sentence, even in traffic court.

The most impact full 🐝ing interspersed with Wing-dongs

Buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters?

Scotus going forward will use Fraktur whenever they reaffirm president = monarch

There's a reason they're doing this and as it's not because it's a _good_ argument...

And no laser printing. Lasers did not exist in the time of the Founding Fathers.

Comic sans or Papyrus, for example, would render them null and void.

causeycan.bsky.social•8 days ago

Papyrus would be diabolical work.

“Serif” doesn’t even look like an American word!

adamsteinbaugh.bsky.social•8 days ago

and let’s take a look at the flag behind the bench. Is that fringe? In a so-called “court”?

Helvetica/Arial = LEGAL
Comic Sans = ILLEGAL?

georgepalaidis.bsky.social•8 days ago

Orders in sans serif are really more of a recommendation, or a suggestion, than an actual order

Gotta be written in bold for much weight to apply. It is widely known that a verbal order only weighs 0.41276 times the weight of a written order. This universal law is historically called Benedict's Constant.

Also you can never be too sure that the judge wasn’t joking or being sarcastic from writing alone. So, use your best judgement when interpreting.

mcnadroj.bsky.social•8 days ago

You can ignore anything written in Comic Sans or Wingdings.

jotatx.bsky.social•8 days ago

no one respects a court order written in comic sans, right? is like hearing a verbal order from a judge right after he inhales a whole helium balloon
