John Eastman disbarment hearing

I have a bank account with USAA, and I get all my insurance through them. This makes me happy. I can understand why a bank would not want to be caught up in an obvious grift.

The dregs of birther remainders.

Also, too, why isn’t Harry the one who’s being asked for the proof, since any claim to succession flows from him and not his wife? Back in the olden olden days they'd watch the couple doing "the act." This is the almost only way you can almost tell for sure whose offspring it is. Ew. Even...

Watched Baby Reindeer last night and this afternoon. What a ride! I talked to my husband about it. He has a hard time with stuff like this. He asked if I would watch it again. He wanted to see it. I warned him that it was disturbing. He made it through three episodes, then was like, OK, just tell m...

A Gentleman in Moscow on Paramount +. I absolutely loved this book, and the series (so far) is incredibly faithful and so well-done.

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

This is incomprehensible to me. How does appellate counsel challenge something on appeal if the arguments of counsel and the comments of the judge are not memorialized? If there's a chance to correct/augment the record, appellate counsel may be able to marshal a better "recollection" of w...

- A little light on his role as explainer of law, but thorough on What is Evidence? Judge often explain what the law is at the end, right before deliberations. I presume the concept is the jurors should be focused now on the facts (and deciding what they are), so they can later focus on applying th...

One thing that struck me as odd about that necklace is that there was enough room to put gratitude on one of those leaves or hearts or whatever they are, but they had to put an & on one? Why couldn’t they have used that space to put another mom-affirming word, like respect or something like that.

Orenthal James Simpson 1947 - 2024. Was he a murderer?

My take is jury nullification (I'm not alone in that belief, obviously--a few of the jurors agree, at least in retrospect). If so, how can you put the onus on judge or prosecution? Remember thee stunned look on Kardashian's face? It dragged on a lot longer than it needed to. The DA put Fuhrman on t...

Orenthal James Simpson 1947 - 2024. Was he a murderer?

I was on an airplane when the verdict was announced. The captain came over the airplane’s PA system and announced it. Stunned silence in the cabin. Later, I saw a video of mostly Black law students reacting joyously at the verdict, and my first thought was, “There are things going on in this country...

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

It’s not enough to identify the prior bad acts; the prosecution also has to explain the relevance (motive, absence of mistake, intent, etc.) The notice says that, if the defendant testifies, it will use these acts to impeach his credibility. Impeaching a witness's credibility always is relevant (su...
