  1. I think Trump is mixing them up with Japan - you know - since they all look alike.
  2. i’m fighting a dismissal of a case that one of our younger lawyers botched at the trial court . On appeal, the other side’s opposition brief contained multiple statements of fact that were just completely false. And by that I mean, not the normal spinning true facts to the point of breaking stuff that lawyers do, but just flat out false stuff. On one point I was making they told the court I failed to cite any cases for my proposition. Actually, I had cited three cases - and a fourth case in our particular appellate jurisdiction commenting with favor on one of the three cases from another appellate court. We are fighting about an affidavit being excluded, and their brief said that I had never explained which of the individual averments in the affidavit I thought were improperly excluded. WTF?? In reality, I pointed out several of them and discussed why I thought they were improperly excluded. They also made a statement about basic hornbook law on comparative fault that was so incredibly stupid and wrong that no lawyer would’ve asserted that stupidity. It then dawned on me that maybe some associate used AI to draft it - and that the partner who filed it had not reviewed it. I pointed out in my reply brief how all of that was false, and suggested that it was an unintentional misrepresentation caused by the use of AI. Well, that will not make me friends with opposing council, but I don’t think I should have to respond to absolute bullshit falsehoods just because an associate is too lazy to write their own brief. I have used the AI feature on Westlaw for legal research, and while it is helpful, it gets all kinds of things wrong and can’t really get the procedural posture of all the parties right all of the time. There is a warning to check your work because they cannot guarantee the AI response is correct. And yet there is always some dumb son of a bitch who will cut and paste it into their work and send it on. It looks like a real problem.
  3. "I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
  4. Nonsense. They knew they were black when they came over here.
  5. This is reason eleventy-billion why I love Surly.
  6. Weird, but as much as I did not want Oklahoma to win, it is extremely satisfying knowing that so many Tennessee fans are suffering after an excruciating loss. I can never really feel bad about that. Fuck everything associated with that school.

  8. Plaintiffs have a week to say why the stay is bullshit, Trump has until June 9 to explain why the three Satan worshiping child abusing judicial activists were wrong and should be hung. Trump told the appellate court that they were going to run to daddy in the Supreme Court by Friday to make the bad people in the lower courts go away. So I’m assuming that they will not ask the Supreme Court to do anything until after June 9 now - whenever the circuit court rules on the request for a stay pending resolution of the appeal. If the circuit court doesn’t grant a stay, I assume they run to the Supreme Court then. And it looks like the circuit court has stayed Trump from changing any currently implemented tariff positions until it’s all figured out. But at least business interests have the clarity on tariffs that they so deeply desire.
  9. Interesting group. A large bucket of current Biden and Obama appointees, and a whole bunch of Reagan and Bush judges on senior status. I guess they will hear that second case invalidating Trump‘s tariff authority as well.
  10. Yeah, the “Godly inspired act to prevent black and brown men from whistling at white women” is probably being drafted by Stephen Miller as we speak. It probably wasn’t filed yet because they are trying to find the right verbiage to allow the death penalty.
  11. if you go by that theory, you should pencil in a loss to Oklahoma for Texas. I hope you are wrong, because I don’t want Oklahoma to win another one, and I don’t wanna keep losing to Texas in softball.
  12. ewe think your sum smart, butt voice softwear nos best
  13. This does not jive with part of the decision that says that Congress can only delegate the tariff authority if direction and limitations accompany that grant of authority. This, of course, ignores the ancient common law exception of Clarence needing a newer, nicer RV.

    You’d have to address this to someone who has lived and voted in Florida since the 80s Which ain’t me.
  15. I’m unfortunately working today with some deadlines, so I did not see the game. Congrats on the win. I hope you win the rest of your games ……unless you play us again.

    And they all move to Florida when they retire. Coal to Newcastle.
  17. Kavan is legit. Odd overlook. Good morning, game fans. Here’s to a good game with an umpire that is consistent with a narrow zone that makes people get the bat off their damn shoulders. Let’s both get out of this thing without using a ton of pitchers and with nobody getting injured.
  18. You’re not getting your tariff money, and you’ll like it!! j/k The former The orange shit gibbon can assign percentages to countries because it involves no research or knowledge or expertise in the type of materials and goods flowing from each country. That is why trade deals take years. I am Bigly hoping that the appellate court reviewing this decision will mention the white house comments that “"It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency.” Appellate courts love hearing that they do not have the authority to review legislative or executive actions for their constitutionality.
  19. so it dawns on me Trump‘s play might be to get Mike Johnson to whoop up some legislation giving Trump the congressional authority to do tariffs with some guidelines and slight limitations that might result in a different judicial interpretation. but if that is the play - that seems like it would empower all of the GOP hardliners to use that vote as a bargaining chip in the discussions with the Senate about the one big beautiful bill’s deficit increasing aspect. Plus, you would have the purple state/ potentially in election jeopardy Republicans - who could previously attempt to blame tariffs and damage to the economy from tariffs on Trump - but if forced vote to give Trump tariff power now would put the responsibility for any subsequent failure on them personally for that vote when they had a chance not to do it. so maybe Johnson does not get the votes that Trump wants, and it always turns out well for someone who offended Trump. Which is all to say that shit is gonna get really interesting over the next month. I would love to see Trump and Johnson try to get legislation only to have Johnson not be able to deliver and be kicked out as Speaker….hopefully with a shit show of a House Speaker election like the last few. in reality, we were just waiting this summer to see what hurricane hits where - and how fun it will be when Trump says FEMA can’t help.
  20. Libation? I agree.
  21. Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC just said that a Trump appoint he was part of the decision. I have no idea if that is true, just passing on Talking Heads stuff.
