Is this really a big deal?

Wednesday, November 15, 2023

Multiple other media outlets I’ve read seem to agree with Truthout that Former Trump Lawyer’s Revelation is ‘Devestating for Trump, Legal Experts Say. This refers to the leaked proffer testimony of Jenna Ellis summarized as follows: Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis told prosecutors in Fulton County, Ga., that a senior aide to the former president […]

New trends in lawyering

Tuesday, November 14, 2023

I’ve only been retired from the law for a few years, but it is becoming clear to me that the practice of law has changed dramatically since my days before the bench. In the olden days, if you were taking a legal position in a case, you would try to convince the judge that your […]

An oft ranted rant in the liberal blogosphere

Wednesday, October 11, 2023

You can’t spend much time on the left wing blogosphere without running into a rant like that which follows, but I’m going to do it anyway. It has become increasingly obvious that Donald Trump’s mental illness has become more extreme, exacerbated, no doubt, by oncoming senility. I have not kept up a database of the […]

Fun reading

Tuesday, August 15, 2023

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 […]

It’s Good Friday again

Friday, April 7, 2023

Almost forgot to keep up the tradition. This year I am going to dedicate this video to a certain very stable genius whose followers keep comparing him to Brian by claiming he’s being crucified. Maybe he should follow Eric Idle’s advice instead of constantly confessing to his crimes on his failing twitter rip-off. As to […]

The January 6th Committee closes up shop

Monday, December 19, 2022

I watched a good deal of the January 6th committee’s hearing and I’ve downloaded their report, which you can find here. I haven’t read the whole thing, but what I’ve read so far is well structured and persuasive, but when you come right down to it, it’s a fairly easy case to prove. Trump is […]

Here we go again

Wednesday, November 16, 2022

I am in Vermont at the moment, looking out of window at a snow scene, wondering why we ever came up here in the first place, given that we knew this snow was coming. Featured in the view from here is an extremely muddy road, recently scraped by a snow plow and now being sopped […]

Is anyone qualified to sit on a Trump jury?

Tuesday, October 25, 2022

I was not surprised at all to learn that they’re having a bit of trouble picking a jury  for the civil case against the Trump Organization. It seems that a lot of people have preconceived notions about Donald Trump, and although he’s technically not a party, it just might affect their judgment. What a surprise! […]

Trump’s subpoena

Friday, October 14, 2022

I spent part of Thursday afternoon watching the January 6th hearings. One of the pundits on PBS felt that it was a bad move on the committee’s part to subpoena the genius, because-guess what- the Trumpers will criticize them. I think it may work out well in some ways, though I doubt that Trump will […]

A bit of speculation

Tuesday, July 12, 2022

I have to say that I like the January 6th committee’s pattern of having Liz Cheney drop a bombshell at the end of each hearing. Today we learned that the genius tried to tamper with a witness, who refused to take his call, notified his or her lawyer, who notified the committee, which notified the […]
