I was a moot court defendant to help out a friend in law school once, and an extraneous comment I made during the deposition part came back to bite me in the trial. Never been in any legal situations since but if I ever am it’ll be yes, no, and I don’t know, the shortest and most focused answers possible and that’s it. Don’t think you can help yourself by talking.

appointed by TFG.
BTW, a Reagan judge just referred the warden of a DC prison to DoJ for civil contempt and civil rights violations of an inmate:

I’m thinking that a bunch of the misdemeanor types are these kinds of profiles, and that–maybe unspoken–that’s why prosecutors haven’t gone hard on sentencing requests. I also think these stupid loonies were recruited and manipulated by conspirators who knew exactly how to fire 'em up and send 'em out.
They did the same fucking thing in Alabama in 1963. Same (or similar) oligarchs, same (or similar) loons.
And in 1861.

But he got to listen to the sound of his own voice for two hours. And now he’ll have plenty more time to hit up the prison law library:
“You’ve engaged in a pattern of behaviors that shows contempt for the criminal justice system, and I just have no confidence that you will follow my orders if I release you,” McFadden added.

Actions have consequences, whether they need reminding of that or not. Being a useful idiot should have the same consequences.

“You’ve engaged in a pattern of behaviors that shows contempt for the criminal justice system, and I just have no confidence that you will follow my orders if I release you,"
Can we get that stenciled and framed so we can hang it up by every judge’s bench who are hearing these cases? Seems like it could come in handy.

That has a family resemblance to what I felt about the dude with the spear and the horns and no shirt, the Flamin’ Shaman or Ramjet Stardust or whatever he called himself. I thought he was pathetic. And a lot of folks said GRRRRRR that doesn’t matter lock 'im up and throw away the key. I thought mens rea was a thing in the law but a lot of the graduates of the Richard Wolf Night School of Law & Order thought otherwise.
