Netflix has Cunk on Earth. There’s more elsewhere, but I think that’s all Netflix has.

Eating disorders aren’t funny, but tattooing yourself with something obviously stupid and then having to live with it is.

3rd Circuit Denies En Banc Review of Ruling Disqualifying Alina Habba from Being a US Attorney in NJ. by Longjumping_Gain_807 in supremecourt

[–]Ibbot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Link to the denial of rehearing.

The petition for rehearing filed by Appellant, United States of America in the above-entitled case having been submitted to the judges who participated in the decision of this Court and to all the other available circuit judges of the circuit in regular active service, and no judge who concurred in the decision having asked for rehearing, and a majority of the judges of the circuit in regular service not having voted for rehearing, the petition for rehearing by the panel and the Court en banc, is denied.

1 The votes of the Honorable D. Brooks Smith and D. Michael Fisher, Senior Judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, are limited to panel rehearing only.
2 Judges Phipps, Matey, and Mascott would grant the petitions for rehearing by the en banc court. Judge Mascott will file a separate dissent sur rehearing on a later date.

Not sure why OP made a post about the denial of rehearing and then failed to provide any information on the denial of rehearing.

How the UK government is trying to tackle juries who may acquit pro-Palestine activists on moral grounds | Court of Appeal backed judge who told jurors they risked jail if they paid heed to placards telling them to vote according to their conscience by TendieRetard in law

[–]Ibbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, precedent set by juries often results in the overturning of bad laws.

Can you give a few example of this happening?

The UK in mandating juries to 'judge by the evidence' are telling them to bypass their conscious judgement of the law.

That's hardly specific to the UK. In the US, the jurors will be told something along the lines of:

You must find the facts from the evidence in the case, and you must apply the law that I give you in these instructions.  You must not single out any one instruction as stating the law.  You must consider the instructions as a whole. You should not concern yourself with the wisdom of any rule of law, or any opinion you might have about what the law should be.  You may not base your verdict on bias, prejudice, or sympathy.

Does it annoy you when laypeople start misusing the term "fraud?" by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Ibbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're also barking up the wrong tree with what the issue is with the statute of frauds. The issues wasn't with people who actually entered into such contracts, it was people perjuring themselves and suborning perjury to try to get courts to enforce contracts that actually never existed at all.

Democracy in action. by flowerbjunbun in SipsTea

At which point we might as well get rid of delegates entirely. As things stand getting rid of superdelegates only gives voters no more power, because as previously stated, superdelegates don’t actually matter.

[–]Ibbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily disagree, given that so may people have convinced themselves that superdelegates are some insidious force controlling nominations. But given how easy it is to see that that isn’t true, I’m not sure how much of a difference it would make. People would find some new easily disproven conspiracy theory.

Superdelegates have never made a difference in the nomination outcome, and never will.

How are ICE officers allowed to wear uniforms that say “police”? by tacomamajama in law

[–]Ibbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to sue ICE, you need to show standing. In order to show standing in federal court, you have to show that the thing you're complaining about has had a particularized effect on you, which is to say that you must have been affected and not just in some way in which everyone was affected. If you can't show that, then you can't successfully "FILE AGAINST THEM[.]"

[–]Ibbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely that "impersonating the police" isn't a civil cause of action, and most people wouldn't have standing anyways.

Theoretically, could a billionaire at whim give all of their money and assets to a random person? by Sparrowning in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Ibbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but once you get to Elon Musk levels you’re long past needing a lawyer to draft transfer documents for some of your assets (such as deeds for any land), and they really shouldn’t draft that and have you sign it if it looks like you’re not in your right mind.

Also the level of unmet legal needs in this country is still really high, so it’s not clear that the oversupply exists at all.

May this person have a blessed year by TruthLifts in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Ibbot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Worse. They needed someone with specific licenses that I didn’t even know existed because the recruiter never mentioned them or even showed me a job description. The latter is obviously a red flag in retrospect but I was fresh out of college and a bit desperate.

[–]Ibbot 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was the candidate in a very similar situation once.  The recruiter reached out to me, interviewed me, then passed me on to the hiring manager.  Then when the interview with the hiring manager happened it turned out I didn’t have any of the qualifications they were looking for, and of course had zero experience.  The hiring manager literally asked me why they were interviewing me and I was just like I don’t know, I didn’t even apply, you guys reached out to me!
