The excellent atty for plaintiffs concludes with two more args

On the right being limited to info: To interpret the right to privacy so narrowly would destabilize many other rights that have relied on it, like parental rights

On the concern about the unborn: If you overrule, you would be allowing the state to force someone to take on increased risk and harm for the sake of others, which is unprecedented.

Oh, I should mention that the state's attorney, bless him, was not as adept as she, and argued that the right to privacy in the Florida state constitution, a provision that again, reads : “Right of privacy: Every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into the person’s private life.”
he argues that it covers only informational privacy

Atty has answers:

The voters had a chance to overrule abortion rights, and they didn't

There is no need to go beyond the plain meaning of the text

Roe was well known

Court cases, which also contribute to original public meaning, clearly recognized right to privacy as incl abortion

To overrule precedent, the precedent must be clearly erroneous

[There is more]

@jsrailton Is there any chance the DOJ is looking into these communications with a foreign power? Has he violated the FARA act with this? Or the sanctions in some way?

A month from now (give or take a few hours) my plane will be touching down in Baku for the 74th International Astronautical Congress!

And I will be facilitating and speaking at a Space Law Special Session on Friday, October 6th @11:35 a.m. in HAC Hall C. We’ll be analyzing different aspects of due diligence and good faith in commercial outer space activities: iafastro.org/events/iac/iac-20

No prior experience is needed to attend!

If you’re going to let me know.

Question? Can anyone from the groups suggest a law community forum for appellants representing themselves in the State of New Jersey or attorney who specializes in contingency tort claims🤔

What it means to say that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is self-executing dorfonlaw.org/2023/08/what-it-

"Section 3 is self-executing in the way that other self-executing provisions of law are, not in the way that laws of nature are. To say that Section 3 is self-executing is to say only that government officials can and indeed must give it effect even absent implementing legislation."

🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨

I recently finished watching The Book of Boba Fett and Season 3 of The Mandalorian and the space law geek in me was way too excited about how the issue of religious accommodations came up twice.

4. Woodward actively participating in conflicts of interest by representing multiple clients who have evidence of crimes of fellow defendant.

Woodward highly unethical, arguably criminal. Time will tell.

2. BREAKING: A key witness named in the MaL docs indictment (Trump employee #4) has retracted their false testimony after changing their lawyer (Woodward).

They are now implicating the 3 defendants (Trump, Nauta, De Oliveira)

and

This also raises an obvious question: are Trump attorneys instructing witnesses to lie?

The conflict of interest with Woodward was apparent when he took on multiple parties involved in the case…and who was paying him.

Once that conflict was appealed, it set the wheels in motion.

Slowly but surely, they are starting to crack. of

"What was defense counsel Woodward telling Individual #4 that led them to commit perjury, and why?"

The next question is, "How does this new information affect the testimony of the others, and their culpability for it?"

Do you need a Keynote Speaker for an upcoming event? Do you need 1-2-1 Executive or Board Coaching on implicit bias, DEI, or a specific legal issue? Do you need an incident specific training on harassment, discrimination, or civility?

There’s a lot of understandable concern about forced clauses in updates.

Just to note, that for UK *consumers*, a compulsory arbitration clause is often unenforceable under either the Arbitration Act 1996 or the Consumer Rights Act 2015, especially for lower value claims.

However this is less of a concern for businesses trading in the UK, as it is quite hard to start a US-style class action, so they are relatively rare.

@Popehat is cited in this David French essay comparing the prosecution’s and defense’s case in the United States v. Trump.

“It’s necessary to prosecute Trump on these facts — not because a conviction is inevitable but because our nation cannot set a precedent that presidents enjoy a zone of impunity for their misconduct that no other citizen enjoys.”

Listen to the Indictment Reading

The entire indictment with the co-conspirators names subbed in.

It’s free to the public with no commercials.

2.The Ethics In Government Act is a law. Enforce it.

There is something more fundamental that demands DOJ investigation - from 2000-2009 Thomas disclosed assets (all illiquid) totaling between $150-410K.

During that period, they earned at least $5M that can be documented.

It doesn't add up.

Especially considering all the expenses they *could* have paid but didn't have to. Travel. Vacations. Tuition. And now (possibly) even his RV.

The Ethics In Government Act is a law. There is too much here NOT to investigate. And Congress and DOJ are not doing their job.

Sincere question...Who is going to make the report to the IRS criminal division or FBI tip line?

“Clarence Thomas’s $267,230 R.V. and the Friend Who Financed It”

Ckarence Thomas - there is a tax issue if Thomas RV loan was forgiven in whole or part and not recorded as income on his .

And there might be tax on behalf of the donor/lender. That person probably deducted it, which is also wrong if it was supposed to be a loan.

What his benefactor, Anthony Welters, "a close friend who made his fortune in the health care industry" said was "the loan was satisfied." Don't you love that wording?

A special episode of Donald Trump. They speak with guest Judge Luttig- who tells what transpired in real time on January 4-6 with VP Pence and his view on when the Trump trials should occur.

A ringside seat to history.
