I hate that this is correct.

And, of course, it comes just as we elevate an insane, despotic president. (I think this was largely coincidental) You'd hope the proponents would have a modicum of self awareness and restraint to maybe slow things down for a minute. But no. Full destruction. Bring on authoritarianism!

Summary for non-lawyers: this week is the capstone of a project to undue EVERY important institution, norm, freedom, and right that we have been relying on (and taking for granted) for the last 80 years. We have only barely begun to feel the repercussions; I suspect we will regret it dearly.

I’m mad about today. I’m mad that justices can’t do the bare minimum to uphold the Constitution. I’m mad that the law and our history, which I have dedicated so much of my life to, is an inconvenience than an inheritance to many. I’m mad that the academy, which I love, rewards and enables it.

Heyyyy a new legal pod just dropped!

Burned out from BigLaw? Fed up with government work? We're hiring a writer for LegalEagle! If you're a lawyer who can exhaustively research the crap out of inane legal subjects fast, accurately, and comprehensively, let us know. It's like writing a bet-the-company MSJ, except actually important!

OK FINE we covered the Bricks & Minifig saga! Watch on Nebula and YouTube.

Hey! I think i forgot to tell you that I got to cameo in Jess McKenna and Zach Reino's Mock Trial mockumentary. Check out the trailer! (Though it might hit close to home if you did mock trial...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYG2...

Here's a tip for all press photographers from one content creator to another: when you're photographing these thugs, attach an action cam to your cold shoe (i.e. the top of the camera); you need video of their atrocities too.

It's an @annabower.bsky.social joint. I've seen an early cut, it's going to be 🔥.

1. Generally this isn't going to go well for the pro se(s). 2. Real lawyers will make a ton of money defending these things. 3. Everything they ask of Ai is discoverable and will be turned over to the other side, feeding back into #1 and #2.

girlboss lawyer puppets HATE to see us coming

Whoa. My Game Changer premiere and verified in the same day. Everything is coming up Eagle!

Watch this episode or I'll see you in court!

@samreich.bsky.social The people have spoken.

I did a thing. (Not the drugs)

I saw their plan but dad’s plan was better.

🤡

Devin Stone turned punchy legal explainers into a YouTube empire. Now he’s warning that the sheer volume of Trump administration scandals is distorting reality itself. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

Hahaha, that's silly! Yes.

It's official, I'm the "Internet's FAVORITE lawyer" (emphasis mine). Can't be argued. It's just science. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

[squints] @legaleagle.tv ???

On the one hand, it's probably bad that the Trump admin threatened the Pope. On the other hand, I've now read the wikipedia article on the Avignon Papacy (which absolutely rules).

For your citing purposes, U.S. law incorporation of the prohibition against genocide: 18 U.S.C § 1091; U.S. law incorporation of the prohibition against wantonly destroying infrastructure 18 U.S.C § 2441 which incorporates by reference Geneva Convention IV art. 147.

This aged well.

Congrats to Attorney General–designate Ed Martin.

Laypeople, keep asking legal questions of ChatGPT. Don't worry that your chat logs are discoverable!

Gooooood god. I'm not familiar with the underlying defamation allegations, but if you ever get this settlement offer, you take it and run (and then maybe hide in a hole for the rest of your life). Also, lol to anyone who said Ai would make lawyers unnecessary.

Nilay might be the best podcaster in the game. One of the few who is willing to ask the same question repeatedly when he's getting BS answers. My guess is he's taken a few depositions in his day. Masterful.

He died doing what he loved.

Big news for Marcus Aurelius.

Ending the Iran war is easy: Trump just needs to withdraw, apologize, and admit that he made a mistake because he didn't fully understand the situation. Oh god.

If he just renames it the "Strait of America", boom problem solved: no more blocked Strait of Hormuz.

Have we come up with a name for the policy of transferring immigrants to places they have zero connection to, don’t speak the language, and are often active war zones? I’d vote for “concentration flights.”

A lot of people need to go to jail if we have any hope of going back to the status quo ante.

When Iran retaliates (or Venezuela or North Korea or, frankly at this point, Canada, Mexico, or the EU) against us by nuking DC, in that half second between the blinding flash and total molecular disintegration, I’m going to be SO smug.

and Nixon (Watergate)!

Feeling pretty good about my decision to put solar on my roof and get an electric car.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you've litigated against a pro se plaintiff who refuses to get a lawyer and only corresponds via overlong chatGPT-drafted missives which often include devastating admissions.

The president is entirely right. The Court took too long and the failure to provide a clear remedy is absurd.

I'd estimate that import businesses probably have until close of business to import as much as they possibly can before Trump imposes more illegal tariffs.

The first part is definitely true; refunds will probably be a mess. But did the US actually make any real, actually-papered and ratified trade deals? I remember a bunch of words but I don't recall anything solid.

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

Shorter CJR: Brett, you ignorant slut!

HUGE open questions about what happens to the billions already collected and whether Trump will try an end run around the opinion (like calling all the tariffs "licenses") or under another statute.

Well look at that, SCOTUS finally agrees that the monstrously illegal tariffs are, in fact, illegal.

This is made more complicated by the fact that this is a JAG lawyer standing in for the DOJ (because most of the AUSAs quit). He was ordered to be a SAUSA, which means saying "I won't do this anymore" is a direct refusal to obey an order, which can trigger a court-martial or other discipline.

"Replace one word of this title with [thing]" is the Cards Against Humanity of posting. (extreme pejorative)
