This was the dumbest way to get rid of the case. It’s a stupid appointment argument that I remember from 20 years ago in law school, where we all had a good laugh about how lame it was. This is the first time I’m aware of that it has prevailed.

I mean I agree with it to the extent I thought she’d find some actually clever way to kill the case. This is just blatant and manifestly wrong legally. If not for the supreme court case I’d put the odds of reversal and new judge at over 50%.

She saved herself so much homework here. And on the first day of the RNC!

Honestly who gives a shit? She’ll get overturned if they go quick enough to get it done before the election but in 6 months from now Trump will just have all the prosecutors executed via an Official Act™ so whatever.

It’s at least possible that she never wanted anything to do with this case and made as many favorable rulings for the master as she could to avoid the inevitable death threats that would surely come her way from MAGAland. Now with everything else that’s going on, she saw an opportunity to just ditch it and wash her hands from the whole thing once and for all

Take the L

I was at a conference recently where one of the speakers was a lawyer who made a crack about technical econometric terms being confusing. I was a speaker on a later panel, and I wanted to ask if anyone could tell me what stare decisis means. Pretty sure it’s Latin for “whatever the fuck the Federalist Society wants”

Pardon incoming. Once the price is negotiated.

Am I the idiot for always assuming “boneless chicken wings” means that the chicken wings I’m buying don’t have bones?

the idea that “of course we don’t think chicken fingers ARE REAL FINGERS!!!” is such a terrible fucking analogy to be used in an opinion…

I kinda assume that if you’re eating a piece of breaded, cooked meat you’ll occasionally bite into a piece that isn’t all muscle. It’s usually gristle instead of bone, but whatever, chew your food, Buckeye.

I know right. Only an idiot would assume boneless means boneless, just chew your food. It reminds me of that idiot lady that tried to scam McDonald’s because her coffee was hot - everyone knows coffee is hot, just don’t spill your coffee bucko.
