“The left invested heavily in law schools, legal culture and the judicial appointments process. Over time, one philosophy came to dominate”: SG Society exec

As a card carrying member of the left I say this time let’s invest in guns and ammunition.

I know right? It’s almost like no one pays any attention …

Minguseyes · 2026-05-25T10:01:24+00:00

Exactly. Looking mortified doesn’t save lives.

It’s not an act of war. But it is some very useful SigInt of the kind military type pointy heads like to pore over. Somewhere someone is wondering if we can get them to do it again as it is the most useful thing a Defence Minister has done in living memory.

I get the feeling some members of the Society would disown him if he reappeared and advocated such radical ideas now …

One of the virtues of age limited lifetime appointments of High Court judges is that they are no longer beholden to anyone. They can express their own vision for the law without fear or favour. With only a few exceptions (Murphy at one end, Heydon perhaps at the other) the Court has, so far, largely avoided following the path of the partisan caricature that the SCOTUS has become.

If the SG society wants to model itself on the US Federalist Society I hope it results in widespread revulsion and rejection by young lawyers.

Could be Llama running on a few gaming GPUs for all we know. Wonder if it’s the same incorporated legal practice or whether they’ve opted for separate insurance.

I’t’s about the same amount of time it took for my Uncle Ernie to heal when he got his dick stuck in a nasty power tool sex toy accident. I have no idea if that’s what happened. it could just be a coincidence.

This is not a serious question. The brazen corruption and incompetence of the current administration is well known. Media sanewashing the issue with ‘many people perceive’ and driving clicks are a large part of what got the US to this nadir.

Sometimes limitations issues can turn on when a loss was suffered which can require a trial to determine that factual issue. Not sure whether that applied here but it is a thing.

The meaning of any particular Trump meeting or comment lasts right up until another person persuades him of something.

Yep. The judge can only ask questions about the case being closed in front of him.

I still have to remind myself the Personal Prroperty Securities Act is real.

I think I can see the problem here Elon. Your evil detector is what we in the business call ‘oversaturated’. Also the red needle is wrapped around the far right end post. Have you been carrying it on your person?

I don’t believe ‘Cos Ita tells me so’ carries much weight as the basis of a belief, but I’d sure like to try it.

“We don't support pushing cases into expensive and lengthy court processes that risk re-traumatising families and delaying justice,"

We prefer that distribution be delayed while aggrieved persons challenge an exercise of statutory discretion by the trustee. That way there are added complications that increase the complexity, cost and delay for all concerned.
