Fun reading

I just finished reading the Georgia indictment. A bit of a slog, since you have to go through so much boilerplate legal language, but still a fun read. I didn’t practice criminal law, and RICO wasn’t a thing when I took criminal law in law school, but it looks like a pretty strong case to […]

Another modest proposal

Now that we have evidence that Clarence Thomas has committed a crime by failing to report the “sale” of his house to his rich benefactor, who proceeded to let Clarence’s Mom continue to live there (rent free I’m sure) while paying for improvements to the place and the property taxes, it would seem that Clarence […]

January 6th transcripts, Jeffrey Clark part 1

I have set myself the task of reading and digesting each of the newly released transcripts from the January 6th committee. We’re I a betting man I would bet that I’ll never complete the task, but one never knows. It’s my understanding that the released transcripts are a subset of all the transcripts from the […]

Open criminality is the new norm

Sometimes things move much too fast for someone who isn’t paid to blog. When I first heard about the stunt DeSantis pulled sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, it seemed to me that there was something, you know, illegal about it. My first thought was that it was kidnapping. I didn’t practice criminal law, and even […]

Schadenfreude of the day

Try as I might (and I’m not really trying), I can’t seem to dredge up any sympathy for the folks who got conned by Madison Cawthorn and his friend’s Let’s Go Brandon (LGB) cryptocurrency scam. Seems the “value” of the currency went way up shortly after Cawthorn endorsed it at the end of last year, […]

More Republican Election fraud—What a Surprise!

This is truly unbelievable. Well, in this day and age not unbelievable, but it should be, being yet another example of Republicans committing the crimes that they accuse Democrats of committing: Five candidates vying for the right to challenge Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) are facing the possibility of being eliminated even before the primary […]

It doesn’t take Nostradamus to predict this

Well, this is totally unsurprising. Seems that Jared Kushner has been paid handsomely by Saudi Arabia for serving its interests, including covering up a murder. A good discussion about it by Juan Cole here. You have to hand it to Jared. He may have set a record so far as the amount of money that […]

Democrats ready to attack?

Could it be that the Democrats are finally going to start fighting fire with—-well, let’s be honest, a tiny flicker of a flame. Every lawyer knows that it is unethical for a judge to rule in a case in which the judge or a judge’s family member has a personal interest. Anyone who has familiarized […]

Why am I not surprised?

It’s apparently a law of nature. The more a Republican accuses others of breaking the law, the more likely it is that they themselves are breaking that law: Tina Peters, a county clerk running as a Republican for secretary of state of Colorado, was indicted Tuesday evening on 10 criminal counts related to allegations that […]

The Supreme Court isn’t partisan…

It’s just a massive coincidence that it’s rulings all favor Republicans, as they implement their racist agenda to once again deprive African Americans, other minorities, and Democrats generally, of the right to cast a meaningful vote, assuming they are allowed to vote at all. Today the court stayed a lower court ruling that found -surprise-surprise- […]
