  1. Nah, he's an OG, been around off and on here and elsewhere. Was a known accomplice of YGIFs in the past. Something relatively recent, COVID I believe, broke his brain.
  2. If 350USD it's reasonable, if 350CAD, it's cheap. Canadian lawyers, by and large, don't get the rates US lawyers do.
  3. In most cases, reasonably easy for a seasoned lawyer to gain admission to another state's bar. Also true of PE licenses? I might think easier in most cases.
  4. That guy is an absolute fucking moron. Is he a Mennonite or just a mongoloid or both? Any relation to Jeff?
  5. And a couple of bottles of whale juice to wash it down with.
  6. Well, given their experience, it would seem that they certainly know how to approach these things. I note that the suit is for defamation, not for malicious prosecution, which usually can't be pursued until termination of proceedings entirely in the defendant's favor, but is something you see from time to time from certain types of assholes.
  7. Wrong link, but here's another one.https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5251388-justice-department-maine-transgender-womens-sports/ On the one hand, it might have been a small stretch for the Biden Administration to hold that Title IX mandates trans athletes participating in other than birth sex sports. On the other, I think it's a massive stretch that Title IX prevents their participation. Bondi is a fucking clown. She added that the DOJ would also seek to have athletic titles won by transgender students in Maine revoked and “returned” to the second-place finishers, whom Bondi said were the rightful winners. The department is also considering whether to retroactively pull funding received by Maine “for not complying in the past.”
  8. Yeah, little or no right to counsel. No right to confront witnesses. Loose rules of evidence. Burden is almost always on the alien. So on and so forth.
  9. THAT actually doesn't surprise me. But it does seem like a lot of immigrants with lawful status really are here legally at the sufferance of the US. Kinda like probation.
  10. His attorneys seem pretty legit. https://nmllplaw.com/athletes-coaches/
  11. Did anyone ask him how Elmo and Petey Thiel got rich despite being autistic?
  12. Ever looked at most habeas opinions? Granted, the district court that hears any habeas petition is likely to be highly pissed at the administration. I think his proceeding is styled habeas, so it's probably Xinis. But it's a civil thing, not a criminal thing. The Immigration courts provide due process most of the time. Those are just examples of what works for civil due process in the immigration context. It ain't all it's cracked up to be outside of criminal court.
  13. I'm not talking about Fox viewers. I'm talking about the lesser numbskulls that swung the election because economy, immigration, and letting trans play on girls teams.
  14. Yeah, I think what people are failing to understand is that there are and always have been varying levels of due process of law. The highest level of due process is in a criminal case and failure to deliver it generally voids any conviction. And that means basically indulging every procedure and inference in favor of the defendant. Civil due process basically means notice and a hearing. You don't get it, you get a do-over, not nullification of what just happened. Look at the judgments of the Immigration Court and Board of Immigration Appeals. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69777799/11/1/abrego-garcia-v-noem/ and https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69777799/11/2/abrego-garcia-v-noem/ Now, Abrego Garcia did have counsel, the same one he has now, but without benefit of some of the evidence he has now. Giving him due process, and the others, may not change the outcome much. Also, I'm not sure any district court anywhere is going to directly order Trump to bring him back. They can maybe sniff all around it, and SCOTUS isn't going to let them do much more. So, yeah, convincing Trump somehow it's in his interest to bring him back should be a consideration.
  15. Which is pretty much what I was saying.
  16. Yeah, "premeditated" comes from some notion of common-law murder. Almost all crimes are now a creature of statute and the statutes vary widely from state to state. Some still require proof of premeditation for the more severe homicide crimes. Texas does not. For regular ol' murder, it's either an intent to kill or to inflict serious bodily harm by a dangerous act. Texas kind of hits "premeditation" in reverse, providing an affirmative defense to 1st degree murder reducing it to 2nd degree, when the act is the result of sudden passion provoked by adequate cause (by inference negating any premeditation, but not intent to kill or do serious bodily harm).
  17. He was not a citizen. A "senior ICE Agent" named Robert Cerna stated that he was deported in error because of an immigration bar on deportation. Based on that, the attorney for the government admitted on several occasions that the deportation was in error. One thing I have learned that's sorta shocking, but maybe not really, is how easily revoked a legitimate immigration status (visa, etc.) can be revoked, even following the law.
  18. The only thing that gives me hope that this makes a shit is those Iowa dirtfarmers eating out Grassley. But they're probably Democrats already.
  19. Ok, so you have the left, which is already convinced, the Trumpers who are also already convinced the other way. And then the dumb, but not quite brainwashed "middle." And between them and the Trumpers, they have a majority. So, I guess it's good we're not having elections that Democrats can't possibly win. And, I didn't say WHAT the messaging should be and didn't say anything about logic or relatable ideals. I just said they can't do what they usually do.
  20. The convincable middle is pretty fucking dumb too. See November 2024.
  21. There's being right and saying the right thing when something happens, which Democrats are kinda ok at. Then there's messaging that wins elections, which they suck giant green donkey dicks at.
  22. Yeah exactly. This is too easily dumbed down by the GOP into an immigration issue. Democrats are going to have to carefully message this.
  23. Well well well, might the lack of Chevron deference come into play here? In the lower courts, for sure. At SCOTUS hoist on its own petard? Or maybe major questions/nondelegation? Watching SCOTUS twist itself in knots should provide some amusement between the wailing and the gnashing of teeth.
  24. I think Eddie has a point in that a lot of people that aren't hardcore Trumpers didn't like the immigration situation under Biden. They didn't know shit about it, just like they don't know shit about this either. They're broadly in favor of restricting immigration and deporting people, especially alleged criminals, and don't give a fuck how the sausage is made. So the lawlessness here will have to be carefully presented. The base gives zero fucks, the "middle types" don't know enough about law to care much.
  25. Reading comprehension.
