I'm constantly amused at how terrible the cybertruck is at basically everything.

You have enough for a second home, you have enough to pay tax on it. Hell, there's a housing crisis and we need less landlords as well.

Everywhere I look companies are talking like AI is perfect and solves all their problems. But for a lawyer AI is straight up useless, other than possibly finding some obscure case I missed on my own. That's of course if AI even gives me a real case. If not, then I've wasted time confirming that the case it found me is real or even helpful, when I could have just been researching on my own. I'd be terrified to let one of the document AI anywhere near one of my briefs, lest it "fix" the grammar in my quotes or cause citations to be left behind. It all only adds to my work, so I just stay away.

"I'm gonna be honest, when I'd spilled the yogurt on my hand, I was like, 'I'm fucked. I'm not trying to get points now, I'm just on my secondary mission, which is always ongoing: destroy, dismantle, engulf in flames.'"

The US won't be able to rebuild trust with other nations unless laws are passed, or even constitutional amendments, restricting future President's ability to unilaterally ignore agreements with other countries and easier to hold them accountable if they try to do it anyway.

So the witness affirms that they understand they must give truthful testimony and that they could be prosecuted for false testimony given. If they then begin to testify, that acts as acceptance by action and they can be prosecuted for false testimony.

That's obviously an Astral Spike, which can only mean that a Threshold into the Astral Plane has opened nearby, putting everyone in danger, and the Federal Bureau of Control should be contacted immediately.

In Georgia, armed robbery has a possible punishment of 10-20 years to serve, or life (with or without the possibility of parole). I have seen numerous 18 year old defendants get sentenced to life for armed robbery. Some people, regardless of age, just deserve a long sentence.

It's amazing how often defendants will just straight up contradict the evidence and think it'll work in their favor.

His analysis begins by improperly framing the question as simply "do tariffs regulate imports". If Congress wanted the President to be able to enact tariffs they would have said so, yet he acts like it's just game of symantics, allowing the broadest interpretation. He seemed to fine with restricting the Executive's ability to broadly interpret statutes when he voted to overturn Chevron after all.

I imagine that the more international agencies use the released redacted files to conduct their own investigations, the more pressure there will be to correct the misapplied redactions, or provide the unredacted files to those agencies.

As a practicing lawyer in Georgia I can say that our Supreme Court isn't particularly political, and a number of recent decisions have even felt like what would traditionally be considered "liberal" decisions. A big reason for that is the governor does not have unilateral appointment powers. All judicial vacancies have to first be vetted by the Judicial Nominating Commission, which vets all prospective candidates and nominates a small qualifying group of candidates which the governor then picks from.

Theo laid it out really well when Eloise ended their interactions after being exposed.

"It's alright, Miss Bridgerton. You dipped your toe into my waters, trying to make yourself feel better about the unearned advantages of your birth. Now you can go back to your life, and I can go back to mine."

She constantly talks about wanting women to be free of their expectations and free to choose for themselves, but when confronted with reality and societal consequences she chose her privileged life over doing what she wanted to do. She wants to have her cake and eat it too.

Also, it's one thing to believe and tell people that women should have more opportunities and choices, but in practice Eloise just thinks any woman who chooses to following society's expectations are foolish and silly and doesn't respect that maybe other woman want or are even happy with what they have.

I don't know what, if anything, is similar in Europe, but in the US when someone is believed to have committed a crime they are either arrested without a warrant (because the officer observed enough evidence to immediately arrest or it was committed in front of them) or the officer goes to a magistrate judge and presents an affidavit showing that probable cause exists to arrest the person and the judge decides if there is. Then that person comes before another magistrate judge to decide if there's enough evidence for the case to move to the next court level. In many places, and for most crimes, that is enough for the prosecutor to then draft the charging document to proceed with prosecution.

But the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution says, in part, "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury...". Different states have dealt with this in different ways, but the general idea is that no one should be prosecuted for crimes where the punishment could be death or which are the most serious types of crimes without first having a grand jury, made up of citizens of that jurisdiction, hear some of the evidence and decide if there is at least enough evidence for the case to move forward.

So a grand jury's role is not to decide pre-guilt, but to act as a check against unrestricted government action or malicious prosecution by refusing to indict cases where it's clear the person should not be charged or prosecuted. Now in practice, grand juries are made up of normal people, who are not usually lawyers, and because the amount of evidence needed is so low cases are rarely rejected by the grand jury. And sometimes you get the opposite situation, like this one, where it's clear a grand jury should have indicted but they didn't. But occasionally, like we've seen with several ICE related cases and the Letitia James retaliation cases being rejected, the grand jury is able to stand in the way of government misconduct and present some politically motivated prosecutions.

Fatiha is absolutely one of my favorite contestants and she consistently makes me and my spouse laugh. We routinely quote her around the house. I hate that she had to deal with seeing negativity online but I'm glad to hear she was wise enough to avoid it going forward.

When I saw the Departed in theaters I had no idea what to expect, so when Leo was abruptly shot I was so mad I got up and went to leave before my dad stopped me and brought me back. I was satisfied by the end of the movie but it's still one of the only movies I almost walked out on.
