Yeah sex is great but have you ever heard someone tell Steve Bannon that exit polls show that young men are evenly split between Dems and Republicans and he goes silent and then says, in a very soft voice: "that can't be right"

I mean, we got the whole statehood thing fixed in 1953 thank you VERY much.

A federal district judge just declared that Flock camera systems violate the Fourth Amendment! Applying Chatrie, the court concludes that extensive camera networks engage in unlawful "indiscriminate mass surveillance." A major ruling. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

Attention in the courtroom is pulled to the foyer as a member of the public has arrived with a dog and enters. It’s a pug.

“Sure I agree that it’s important that we have defense attorneys, but the people who do it should all be ashamed of their work and indifferent about the lives of their clients.”

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.? Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Defense attorneys are popularly derided as unethical because they defend the guilty, which is their job. But zealous prosecutors are heroes, despite the fact they DON'T have an obligation to pursue every case, and they KNOW how dumb cops are. Thanks, Dick Wolf!

What always gets me is that the FOP agreed to be part of the Collaborative Agreement and to participate in community-oriented policing. And ever since, they've acted like it's this brand-new thing they weren't actually a party to, and have fought it tooth and nail.

In DC superior court: Attorney: “I’m not sure what your schedule is but…” Judge: “Sir, I’m here for the next 15 years.”

READ: A woman was forced to give birth in Brooklyn criminal court 2 nights ago on a courtroom bench. Shackled. All while courtroom personnel gawked. And the judge ultimately refused even to dismiss her case--trespassing on her own rooftop. This is "justice" in America. More:

Jesus fucking christ. They made a woman appear for a criminal court arraignment even though she was 9 months pregnant and she gave birth while handcuffed to a bench *inside the courtroom*

WOW an Oklahoma judge grants Richard Glossip's bond request He has been incarcerated for 29 years, faced 9 execution dates and ate 3 last meals. Last year, SCOTUS said he deserved a new hearing after prosecutorial misconduct was uncovered. courthousenews.com/supreme-c…

People always ask this question and never “do prosecutors ever feel overwhelmed with guilt knowing they’ve put innocent people away?” Or “do prosecutors ever worry they aren’t doing justice when they destroy someone’s life over crimes of addiction or poverty?”
Has there ever been a case where a defense attorney was just overwhelmed with guilt for defending a client that was too evil to defend? Or are they all sociopaths?

I enjoy it when men underestimate women.
If you’ve ever worked in finance, you know women like this are a force of nature, especially at top-tier banks. They might not be the “rainmaker” bringing a deal in, but they’re often the ones making sure the deal actually gets done, the client gets their win, and the bank gets its fees. They’re smart, hard-working, usually the most focused and disciplined person in the room, and utterly ruthless. If you’re capable and you show them professional respect, they will move mountains for you. If you’re lazy, dumb, or a roadblock, though, they won’t hesitate to steamroll you and leave your body in an alley behind the building. The definition of no better friend, no worse enemy. You’d have to to be insane to pick a fight with someone like this, especially if the facts of the case aren’t completely on your side. We’re not even 24 hours into this story and it’s already clear the guy who tried dragging this woman through the mud is likely the dumbest dude who’s ever had a job on Wall Street. He truly has no idea what he’s done or what he’s in for.

So by this principle I can use my City Beat “best blog” awards from the 2010s right?
calling yourself an “award winning lawyer” is funny because the award could be a 3rd place trophy in a regional BBQ competition and it would still be accurate

Dug a little into the Gratis police department and the real problem of officers who’ve been fired for serious misconduct not having their peace officer certification revoked. And dammit if I didn’t just throw it into a Substack: open.substack.com/pub/julien…
