Yabut, in many places there is a well-defined category of food that does not include fish but does include serve mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms, cephalopods, whelks, and the like. For better or worse, the accepted name for this is "seafood." Like much of human language, the usage is il...

https://jessica.substack.com/p/texas-professors-want-to-punish-students Some wild news out of Texas (I know, not surprising): The New Republic reports that professors at the University of Texas at Austin are suing for the ability to punish students who take time off for abortion. The complaint, brou...

Trump: A lot key witnessers were not called

In most parts of the world, fish are generally not considered seafood even if they are from the sea.

Wikipedia Seafood.

I don't consider salmon seafood. It is fish. Crustaceans are not fish. :confuzzled: Don't be. I spent much of my life casually and Ignorantly treating "fish" and "seafood" as practically synonymous. I guess I never called crabs or lobsters "fish," but it certainly neve...

The Alito letter, a breakdown.

Read the whole thread; most of it isn't quoted.

"right," IMO.

A current president may return a salute from a member of the military, such as the Marines at their post, :snippity: :fingerwag: Although before Reagan presidents would occasionally return a salute, the routine, daily return of the salute was a stunt begun by Reagan. A Senseless Salute By John Luka...

Yeah Rolodex , I grok your point, but having stood with my hand on my heart four* times yesterday while a high school bugler played taps at a small town's Memorial Day observance, I'm feeling tolerant about the use of the hand on the heart (is there a short term for this?) as an all-purpose gesture...

It's a hopeless case, but the business of civilians saluting in formal settings is complete baloney, nonsense on stilts. And the tradition of the President saluting is particularly wrong-headed in light of the law and tradition of civilian control of the military, plus the whole "no kings"...

Own goal. Particularly with this arguably corrupt judge, it's necessary not to give her any excuse for ruling against you on a procedural issue. It weakens your position when you eventually go up to the 11th circuit.

Defense goes first in New York criminal trials. News to me; all the New York jury trials in which I've participated have been in federal court.

TFB friend and alumnus Mike Dunford gets a couple of paragraphs in this surprisingly good New York Times story about his current boss, Akiva Cohen, who coined the term "Litigation Disaster Tour," and how Cohen assembled a law firm group from people he met on the notorious (and enormous) Th...

I have a good deal of sympathy with outside counsel here. Just because a plaintiff has good grounds to allege one kind of awful conduct (installing a camera in a place where she is entitled to privacy) doesn't mean that she also has a claim for a different and more intense flavor of awful conduct (i...

Cannon has only presided over four* jury trials, but like every federal judge she has hundreds of cases on her docket. Making an assessment of how well she manages those hundreds of cases would be time-consuming, and I guess no one has taken the trouble. Most cases settle in one fashion or another, ...

And then there was the federal jury several decades ago in a southern state, possibly Georgia or South Carolina, in the prosecution of the CEO of a ... healthcare or insurance company, who had committed fraud of legendary proportions over many years.

Jurors are hard to figure.

He did, however, briefly gloat about how thoroughly he had impeached one...

Golly ...
