This One Simple Trick and it's totally unethical for an attorney to report on a judge's misconduct.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have seen pro se parties present better arguments that this one from the Antonin Scalia Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.

"The rules either incorporate court-imposed confidentiality requirements or they don't." Why? What the fuck are you talking about?

This reasoning is so incredibly tortured even John Yoo is like, "whoa, slow down, partner!"

There's no First Amendment exception for the speculative violations of state professional rules based on said state rules somehow incorporating the in-house chambers rules of a federal court.

Brutally male coded. Given the option between checking a bag or spending half a vacation day at a mall, my brother in Christ, I'm checking the damn bag.

You can put the exact same substance in a format that at least pretends to comply with the Rules.

COMPLAINT 1. Kashyap P. Patel, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, brings this lawsuit to hold Defendants The Atlantic Monthly Group LLC and its staff writer, Sarah Fitzpatrick, accountable for a sweeping, malicious, and defamatory hit piece published on April 17, 2026. Defendants are of course free to criticize the leadership of the FBI, but they crossed the legal line by publishing an article replete with false and obviously fabricated allegations designed to destroy Director Patel’s reputation and drive him from office. Indeed, Fitzpatrick could not get a single person to go on the record in defense of these outrageous allegations, instead relying entirely on anonymous sources she knew to be both highly partisan with an ax to grind and also not in a position to know the facts. Defendants published the Article with actual malice, despite being expressly warned, hours before publication, that the central allegations were categorically false; despite having abundant publicly available information contradicting those allegations; despite obvious and fatal defects in their own sourcing; despite The Atlantic’s well- documented, long-running editorial animus toward Director Patel; despite a request deliberately structuring the pre-publication process to avoid receiving information that would refute their narrative. Defendants cannot evade responsibility for their malicious lies by hiding behind sham sources. PARTIES

I know it's a losing battle, but for the love of God stop doing this. It's a complaint, not a 19th century serial.

Setting aside whether it was fair or not, the wealthy would have paid a very high amount of the tariffs and property taxes that largely funded 19th c. American government.

Yeah. Leave it to the Canadian gentleman to remind us all to consider others.

So amped for this to end in a dismissal and confidential payment that conservatives will pretend is 1000 times larger than it was.

Lol, no.

This is a worse idea than serving Prego.

I don't get the aversion to airport lounging a lot of people have, but this is backwards to me. I live in a relatively easy place to fly into or out of and dealing with a missed, canceled, or delayed flight can be a pain in the ass, give me airport bathrooms and overpriced cocktails all week.

ROE to the lower left ofnthe mug handle.

Placed so it will change quickly and right handed drinkers will see it all the time.

Don't you think it's time to stop blowing a guy when you have to resort to bad faith readings of pretty straightforward statements to defend him?

At least in that scenario he'd be an honest imperialist rather than the act he's trying to pull off.

I get that, I just can't imagine anyone normal and non-problematic going in the other direction.

As an elder millennial Iraq War protestor, I can tell you that it is not absurd at all. If you had told me anyone at those rallies signed up for Blackwater at some point in the future, I would've been comfortable branding them as permanently unfit for national office, and correct to do so.

Congratulations for achieving 1890s technology.

Lyndon Johnson was a former teacher and won his presidential election 486-52. Do you think he talked down to people?

I went to a basic-ass public high school and she sounds like my English teacher.

It's telling that the reply to that is a clip of Warren talking plainly and the response to that video is that, well, she's talking down to the viewer. That is a truly wild Goldilocks standard to put on female politicians.

That's true, they may still win hardware but even if they don't at least their rival is in an abysmal state.

The alternatives are to keep Mikel Arteta and have this keeps happening or sack him and risk the fate of Man Utd. It's funny every time.

Chart of English premier league winner odds from polymarket. Arsenal was well above 75% with a slow climb all season and now is down to 43%.

For anyone new to English football or who just likes laughing at an ongoing Boston Red Sox / Buffalo Bills scenario, this handy graph describes Arsenal as a club:

"Decorative hardware"

Illinois county breakdown for 2022 governor's election. The darkest red on the map are all rural counties

"Open to progressive ideology." Okay, this is how Illinois voted between JB Pritzker and Darren Bailey, a guy with Mike Pence politics and slightly less charisma. Do you notice any correlations here?

Gee, this sounds a lot like that "judicial activism" thing conservatives wouldn't shut about any time a court recognized minority rights in any facet of life.

Tree law is lawyer theater. It typically involves commonplqce petty neighbor boundary line squabbles (setting, characters) where the antagonist does not understand the consequences of what they've done (plot). Lawyers can hit catharsis based on a paragraph and some pictures.

Yeah, but something tells me Kash doesn't read that section of the paper.

Hold up, can Kash Patel even make a lay-up consistently?
