I just cannot get enough of watching this race and the trainer’s reaction as she realizes there’s a chance they’re going to win. I can’t behold that level of pure human joy without tears. It overwhelms me.

@dilanesper This is a long way of saying Congress should have put what it meant in the statute instead of hoping future courts would interpret the law based on vibes and feels.

So he'd love if it didn't apply to districting and gives it a bad, results oriented reading. Gorsuch is sympatico to this. But it's obviously wrong. The argument is a joke. It's as frivolous and poorly reasoned as anything endorsed by 2 Justices can be.

(a is Justice Thomas' argument in his concurrence. And it's a TERRIBLE argument. Exactly the sort of "gotcha' textualism that gives lawyers a bad name. The 1982 amendments to the VRA were literally passed to address districting. Everyone thought that was what they were doing.
Brad Smith@CommishSmith

Most people opining on SCOTUS decision in Callais have never read Voting Rights Act. Here is the section on dispute. Do you think a) this applies to districting at all; and b) if so, does it require racial gerrymanders to benefit minorities? C) if so, is it constitutional?

People always ask this question and never “do prosecutors ever feel overwhelmed with guilt knowing they’ve put innocent people away?” Or “do prosecutors ever worry they aren’t doing justice when they destroy someone’s life over crimes of addiction or poverty?”
Dissident West@dissidentwest

Has there ever been a case where a defense attorney was just overwhelmed with guilt for defending a client that was too evil to defend? Or are they all sociopaths?

@ProsecutorsPod @brendasbullshit You're as much of an appellate attorney as Mark Zuckerberg is a farmer. You can play in the barn all you want, but if you never actually scooped cow shit, are you actually a farmer?

Richard Allen filed his reply brief. The only news is that briefing is complete. There's nothing new in it worth covering. He's asked for oral argument. If granted, it will be solely because of the seriousness of the case. The appeal is a loser and will be denied in due time, likely before the end of the year.

Want to suggest @ASFleischman for those of you who are looking for insightful legal commentary. Pretty sure he and I agree on precisely nothing politically but I find his legal analysis to be thoughtful and often spot on.

@ProsecutorsPod Nick McLeland told me in writing that you’re a liar. Do you have any comment on that?

Been going back and forth between Chief Wallabee and Commandment for today's derby. Think Commandment is the pick.

@ProsecutorsPod I feel like this is a hate post for comments. Are you a real attorney? Seriously asking. I can't believe a real attorney wouldn't be able to look at it, even if you believe he is guilty, with an unbiased eye at the merits of the appeal.

I guess we will see if the appellate judges will agree with Brett and Alice. And it wasn’t a “Some Other Dude” defense strategy. It was a defense strategy that included at least 2 dudes that had been suspects and had very close connections to the victim and to the ritual related beliefs and practices. One of them confessed to the crime. Same with another suspect who was as the owner of the land on which the victims were found. Also confessed. Have you heard of Occam’s razor? It’s a the idea that the simplest explanation is usually the most likely to be true. Especially when it explains the facts just as well as a more complicated explanation. This case is a perfect example how this strategy was not implemented. Btw, did you know that Brett never actually tried even one case in any court? Zero trial experience. Would you take criminal trial related legal advice from him if it was your life or a life of your loved one?
