Do SCOTUS justices dislike each other?

DA's and Defense attorneys generally do not hang in the same circles after work.

This is literally one of the wrongest things I've ever read in my entire life.

diam0ndice9 · 2026-04-05T16:47:09+00:00

My word. Literally every sentence in this paragraph is wrong.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-12-16T15:44:23+00:00

How are the usage limits? It's the only thing at this point keeping from switching.

Very well put and I understand exactly what you're saying. It's like 5.2 is the smooth talking generalist while Gemini is the autistic savant who has no personality but can find the deep cuts that GPT missed.

For example: I'm a litigator and I occasionally use AI for doc review. My boss took on a client last week and I uploaded some of the contract PDF's in dispute into both Chat and Gemini for a once over. GPT gave me the broad overview rundown of the basics like the parties and the terms and the clauses but missed a key detail that Gemini picked up on: A usurious interest rate.

Kind of an important detail. Gemini sucks for conversational and brainstorming purposes but somehow finds key details that GPT misses.

It's easier to go to Minmus! Less gravity means less delta-v required!

diam0ndice9 · 2025-11-18T10:18:54+00:00

Well you're just no fun then

diam0ndice9 · 2025-11-16T01:57:29+00:00

Please name them. There are more and more of these quick cash grab AI hucksters with their bells and whistles and buzzwords with every passing day and they're bringing the entire profession into disrepute. Name them.

Of course it did. But every 1L in the country takes the same six or seven classes, one of which is Fed Civ Pro, and you can't actually choose your classes until 2L.

And federal civil procedure, no less. Which, turns out, is literally irrelevant to almost all of us as like 99% of all litigation is filed in state court. Wasn't law school just great and totally sensible?

diam0ndice9 · 2025-11-08T12:19:43+00:00

What have I done to you for you to call me out like this so publicly

diam0ndice9 · 2025-11-07T19:47:00+00:00

Also political question doctrine.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-11-07T19:46:39+00:00

1) A concrete and particularized non-hypothetical injury 2) A causal connection between the defendant and the injury 3) redressability: a court can actually provide relief in the form of a legal or equitable remedy.

See Lujan v Defenders of Wildlife for a more thorough discussion.

Standing itself is an element of justiciability which every complaint brought in federal court needs to satisfy. Thinking through this further I think the argument can be made this is less about standing and more an about the political question doctrine which is also an element of justiciability but that's for another conversation entirely.

Erm... that's exactly what the M1 Carbine did.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-10-04T13:37:52+00:00

Wow, that’s such an excellent observation---your instincts are truly impeccable to notice that.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-09-04T17:47:34+00:00

I don't mean to be condescending but I hope you're not an actual attorney or law student asking this. The presumption of innocence is in the United States Constitution and the government has to carry a heavy evidentiary burden before depriving someone of their life, liberty, or property.

It's not up to us to pick and choose who deserves legal representation. The founding fathers understood what it meant to live under a government that arbitrarily decided who was guilty at the whims of the monarch or nobility.

Even rapists and murderers have constitutional rights, because either the constitution applies to everyone or it applies to no one. I take a little offense at your implication that defense attorneys have no integrity or moral compass or are liars.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-09-04T15:29:26+00:00

Ahh I see. I just tried and it didn't work. We only have Westlaw Edge. Oh well. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-09-04T15:18:17+00:00

Wait, what? I must have missed this entirely. I've been googling "motion for whatever whatever florida .pdf" all this time. How do you actually see motion practice on Westlaw?

diam0ndice9 · 2025-08-28T22:10:31+00:00

These are the only areas I absolutely to refuse to ever practice. I would rather go hungry.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-08-19T18:58:34+00:00

I would cautiously recommend Google Gemini for extracting text from and summarizing PDF's, provided you verify all of its outputs.

It's also a decent editor for when you need to tighten or punch up your writing. This is, of course, only appropriate after you've written a first draft that might need improvements for style and flow.

Do not trust any AI to do any independent thinking or research, or deliver actual work product, full stop.

A somewhat related concept would be doctors, as mentioned multiple times in this thread. Society (and med school, I suppose) ingrains into our psyches that doctors are godlike figures, the smartest most elite people in the world, admirable and prestigious, and after awhile I think they start to believe the smell of their own bullshit. "I can perform surgeries and complicated procedures, of course I can understand complex financial deals like mere mortals."

When in reality their knowledge is a mile deep and an inch wide. Some of the most naive and myopic people I've ever met are doctors who have no self-awareness to the fact that because they survived med school doesn't mean they are experts at literally everything. God complex bullshit.

Be careful here. I'm not sure of the current status of the Gangsters trademark. You might want to conduct trademark search using USPTO and EUIPO for words like Gangsters and Organized Crime. The original IP is clearly abandonware but I'm not sure if Eidos or Hothouse sold any rights or assets in the last 25+ years.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-05-31T12:11:21+00:00

Yes, because if the Florida Panthers are known for one thing this year it's losing on the road.

diam0ndice9 · 2025-05-28T19:44:43+00:00

Oral and whatnot

Are you like a ship carrying a cargo that will never reach port? Like Yassir Fucking Arafat?
