Do you have anything to add to dispute this or are you just doing your normal schtick Freddy Rumsen? I'll add something—namely, that the "Global Terrorism Database" is simply ignoring acts of left-wing violence. On February 1, 2018, Antifa members and other folks set fires, damaged property, smashe...

Very important legal question accepted for review by the PA Supreme Court today. The appeal is Commonwealth v. Davis, 169 MAL 2018, and the question certified is: May [Petitioner] be compelled to disclose orally the memorized password to a computer over his invocation of privilege under the Fifth Am...

Didn’t Obama go to a prep school?

Good memory. Obama did go to a prep school from grades 5 to 12: the Punahou School.

Good thing I didn't go to law school. I had a picture of me doing a keg stand at age 19. What a disgrace to the law I'd be. :) Probably the drunkest I've ever been was during a party while I was in law school. There were no keg stands, but there were Jello shots, and I recall double-fisting two dri...

He should have stuck with marijuana and cocaine like Obama did.

Having sat in a law school classroom the day after Trump was elected and saw adult law students openly weeping I can say...yeah, you're probably right. That's honestly sad. I suppose that those folks might take their law degrees and go into non-litigation positions, and they might be able to surviv...

48 Harvard Law students filed Title IX complaints against Kavanaugh claiming his presence was sexual harassment. https://mobile.twitter.com/ScottGreenfield/status/1047188711790837760 Oh FFS. Any law student who actually believes that the presence of Judge Kavanaugh would actually be harassing to th...

Beech King Air suffers gear collapse and belly landing at Las Vegas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CapieGcAAUo Most of the audio is the rerouting of other aircraft from the incident runway. One of the aircraft that has to go around is Janet 787. "Janet" is the callsign for the top-secret government...

That's some good parsing there.

And your parsing is based on a supposition that Yale Law gives preference to Yale undergrads, but you have no idea whether or not that is true.

Does Yale Law give selection preference to Yale University alumni?

No idea. But even if the law school does provide a preference for alumni, I still don't think I would consider that a "connection" to the school.

Fake news. When Kavanaugh said "I had no connections there," he was referring specifically to Yale Law School, not Yale in general: "I got into Yale Law School. That’s the number one law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college." Taken directly fro...

Went with my family to Superior Motors for my mother's birthday. She wanted to go somewhere new. Really good experience. The food was great, and the place was packed even though we went for a later 8:15 reservation.

You didn't hear this level of opposition for Gorsuch. He's a bad candidate and partisan hack. Gorsuch was replacing Scalia—a replacement that would not affect the political/philosophical makeup of the Court. Kavanaugh replacing Kennedy is much more likely to change the Court. The Democrats had much...

Re: the American Bar Association. The surprising thing to me about the ABA in this matter was that they gave Kavanaugh a high score to begin with. I've said this before, but the ABA leadership is overwhelmingly left-wing in politics, and the ABA regularly adopts left-wing/progressive positions on is...

I think the asteroid looks more like a metroid.

Lawyer subscribes to legal mailing list. What a shocker.

Even better: "Tumeric kale chips ugh tofu whatever."

I get a weekly email from the Institute for Justice that contains a roundup of significant federal appeals-court cases from the last week. Today, IJ accidentally sent out their template email, which is full of random text. I'm not sure why, but I'm really enjoying the gibberish. For example, "artisa...

There are no Senators on the fence. There are only Senators who have yet to decide whether voting for or against Kavanaugh would further their own political career.

I am pretty ignorant on this stuff, so dumb question: can you not claim basically any answer could be a link? How do you know when your priviledge is acceptable or will make you look bad? If the privilege is challenged, the judge overseeing the matter will conduct an examination (which wouldn't be ...

While that would be prudent (no statute of limitations in MD), bear in mind a couple things. This is not a criminal investigation, so witnesses cannot be compelled to appear. So you're talking about volunteering for an interview for which you plan on not answering questions. You can only invoke the...

What does Judge mean by asking that the investigation be done "confidentially"?

He wants to testify in private rather than publicly as part of the greater Senate sh!tshow.

This weeks marks the 50th anniversary of the rollout of the first Boeing 747.
