Lawyer writing about law, genealogy, and bad ethics. He/him
On the one hand, I sort of get why my refrigerators door alarm can't be permanently disabled. On the other, I really wish there was a "I'M FUCKING FIXING YOUR BROKEN ASS, JUST SHUT UP UNTIL I CAN RESOLDER THIS COLD JOINT" setting

In case you ever wonder why companies choose to negotiate generous severance packages that include NDAs with strong incentives to comply rather than firing for cause, this is why.

Last night, the Supreme Court ruled that the VRA cannot protect even against *intentionally* discriminatory voting policies When we say there is no federal statute remaining the enforce the 15th Amendment, this is what we mean

black people electing black people to congress in districts where they form a plurality or majority? potentially invidious racial discrimination. the only way to escape constitutional scrutiny is to elect a white conservative, then we know dr. king's dream of colorblindness has been achieved

Literally any statistician could have told you that the second you incentivize based on a metric, the usefulness of that metric drops to nothing.

The thing about Platner is that I swore we were all passing around some anecdote a little while back about how you can't allow even one nazi, even a well-spoken one with good vibes, into your bar. I have a very clear memory of this. We all agreed with it and found it trenchant and apt.

Some clues from a quick skim: -The judge has a career clerk and foregoes an AA to carry two term clerks -The judge's term clerks serve for one year (The judge has an extensive criminal background and probably served in a local DA's office -The judge likely has minimal civil litigation experience

This is disturbing behavior. The judge didnât just repeatedly lie in writing about his own innocence: he targeted the clerk he thought had reported him. (From the CA11 judicial counsel opinion.)

It is absolutely a dereliction of duty to allow that judge to remain âprivateâ in their reprimand. If they were sleeping with a cop, ALL CASES where a cop testified must be looked at. Every person who came thru that court deserves another chance. Rule of law just doesnât exist anymore I guess
