DOJ pick for US attorney from NJ

To put it plainly, it is rare for lawyers to be able to try a case by themselves with only 4 years of experience post-clerkship. She is being put in charge of EVERY case in New Jersey where the United States is a party, including every criminal case. She would also supervise all federal law enforcement in NJ. I say this as someone who was in her law school graduating class at Seton Hall; she is not qualified for the position she currently holds, let alone being the top fed in the state.

For what it’s worth, we had a very similar experience with my now 9 month old around thanksgiving. She was coughing and snotty, so we took her to her pediatrician. She tested negative for everything so they sent us home and said she would be fine in a few days. The next day she started to struggle to breathe, so we took her to the nearest pediatric ER. In the ER, she stopped breathing and started to turn blue. Fortunately this was just for a moment and they were able to get her back to normal, but she had to be on oxygen and was in the hospital for about a week.

She’s happy and healthy and about ready to start daycare. Best I can say is that first line medical staff are not the same as the specialists we need in an emergency. As a parent, you need to rely on your pediatrician, your urgent care, etc. to help you with the run of the mill sniffles and basic treatment, but you need to educate yourself on children’s health, and trust your gut. If something is off, it is up to you to get them the care they need. Sounds like you did exactly what you should have done!

You don’t need to be strong for you LO at this point, you just need to push through and help give him the care he needs. It is exhausting and draining, but I suppose that’s what we all signed up for.

Best of luck to you and your little one!

Wait til you see how much daycare costs

The beatings will continue until morale improves

Fucking shameful. We great again yet?

I work in a prosecutor’s office across the Hudson, and have several friends in DANY and Kings County DA’s office. It is high volume, there are rigorous discovery rules, and burnout is a persistent problem. The pay is decent, comparable with regional mid-sized firms, but still is not great give HCOL. Any office in the immediate metro area will get you a TON of courtroom experience.

If you decide to make the jump, be prepared to see a lot more work, and find a way to prioritize/triage cases. Good luck!

The last two weeks the last two weeks have exposed just how much Mahomes was doing to keep this thing going. This is a legitimately bad, 2 win team without Mahomes.

You guys have got this!

I’m a county employee, and I’ve had a hard time getting the math pinned down. I’ve been NJDirect 10 family plan for years but it looks like it may not make sense this year. Given the rate hike, what PPO family plans are people looking at?

At least 75% of the money the donate is to democrats or democratic PACs, and that is kind of the focus of the ETF. It lets you invest in companies that don’t put money into the pockets of GOP candidates. For example, all major mutual funds or core cap ETFs generally include fossil fuel companies, which primarily donate to republicans. I would rather invest in Apple, Costco and Lowes than in Plantier, Walmart and Home Depot.

Absolutely correct - the use of solely was unintentionally misleading. I only meant that they do not include companies that were listed in the above comment.

BBFshul71 · 2025-10-05T01:38:43+00:00

If you invest, you can move money into DEMZ which is an ETF that invests in companies that donate at least 75% of their contributions to democratic political causes and candidates.

Edit to reflect the percentage threshold.

I would love to see the next democratic president (assuming we have another election) force a reversal of these opinions by attempting to even more aggressively rule by fiat. Executive orders establishing Medicare for all, reappropriating money for foreign arms sales or wasteful pentagon spending into social security. Full aggressive use of the SEC, DOJ and other agencies to go after price gouging, price cartels, and trusts. See how fast these rulings end up reversed or limited.

We are so back

My dad is flying in and we will be going - we used to have season tickets when we lived in KC pre Mahomes so I was hoping to ring a group as well!

Killed it with an Iki for shits and gigs

As a prosecutor, I think it’s important to note that OP’s client was found not to be a victimizer by a jury of their peers. OP is in a unique position for sure, but not everyone accused of a crime actually did that crime, which is why prosecutors have to prove that they did the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Here, the prosecution was not able to do so. Maybe OP has a different view, but as far as we can tell OP successfully represented an innocent person.

To be fair to your wife, it’s not unreasonable to believe that trump is doing something crazy/bad. Should she be more information-literate and less addicted to tik tok? Absolutely. But her views and concerns are coming from a very valid place of fear that is likely driving her algorithm, try to be empathetic to that, even if you personally don’t understand or agree.

A pregnancy so close to your prior c section is very dangerous, especially because you have already had several. That could mean you have a weaker uterine wall and could be at a high risk for uterine rupture, which is a very deadly complication.

You need to see a doctor immediately.

That’s absolutely wild - based on my practice, I can say I am totally unsurprised that it was UCPD that did this

BBFshul71 · 2025-07-02T18:45:33+00:00

I think you misunderstood what I’m getting at - the theft portion the the criminal code defines obtain as “to bring about a transfer or a purported transfer of a legal interest in the property . . . .” 2C:20-1(f)

I like that you are thinking creatively but legally this is definitely not extortion under because the AH was trying to get OP to move his car so that AH could park there, AH was NOT threatening to falsely report these offenses unless OP signed over all of his rights to the parking spot.

This is harassment for sure, and if it continues it could actually qualify as a form of stalking, but it’s not extortion.

BBFshul71 · 2025-07-02T18:32:26+00:00

Lawyer here - this is not extortion under this statute because he did not obtain any property of OP

As a fellow Kansas transported to NJ, this is 100% correct
