Uh. So. A judge having an ex parte communication with a party and a witness midtrial without notifying another party is ....... really bad. And a judge being more concerned with how the defense found out is likewise..... suboptimal.

In 2005 I was jobless and homeless. I applied to work at a gym where I had been able to use the showers because I had a friend with guest passes.
I didn't have an ID or an address. The HR Director allowed them to hire me anyway.
Ten years later I made partner at a law firm.

I wonder if the "I can't relate to this" and "movies shouldn't teach to disobey their parents" crowd enjoyed a movie about a clownfish who disobeyed his father leading to an epic journey involving an amnesic Ellen Degeneres who can speak "whale."
Ya'll remember this guy? He killed himself.

There are things in life that just happen. You will insult someone a little too harshly. You will trip and fall. You'll take a chance on a risky fart and lose.

Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley, on Canada PM Justin Trudeau invoking emergency powers to deal with the "Freedom Convoy" blockade:
"By this rationale, they could have cracked down on the Civil Rights movement. They could have arrested Martin Luther King."
This man looks like this because all of the local prosecutors are so scared of him and the judges respect him so much that he can dress however the fuck he wants.
Bullshit. This man has seen it all. This man will file the most scathing motion you’ve ever read & follow up with a “sent from my iPhone” email. This man sees the judges daily & won’t be fooled by your BigLaw ~fear me~ attitude. I’d trust this man with my life.

Today I did something I've only done once before in my entire career - fired the client.
He said he didn't care about my mother's brush with death and that I should have gotten something (minor) done for him at the hospital. Take your money back and GTFO, son.
I don't care if Biden is currently 11 raccoons in a trench coat, I'm pulling the level for him. We can triage "how the fuck did it come to this stage" right after.
As much as I hate Biden and would love to sit this one out, if you don’t want Trump, even if you’re a Republican, you gotta vote for the corpse. We really could lose democracy with this one, boys. Imagine an FDA loyal to Trump. There’s a legal path to that happening. Just vote

Congratulations to her. And I mean this. Yeah she's got unlimited resources and it's easy to hate her. But it seems like her heart is in the right place and I won't ever hate on someone who wants to do right by other folks and is at least trying.

Something I first noticed when I became an attorney: the normalcy trap. So her reaction to a 14 hours of work/commute/chores is "this sucks." Normal people then mock her mercilessly for being a lazy wimp.
