The defense could move to dismiss the indictment. Normally it’s a long shot. Probably still a long shot here.

That is a lot! I hope you have built in some down time at the end of the year.

And there are lots of ways to get around a statute of limitations issue (conspiracy charges — a continuing offense). But agree completely on the state charges. All symbolic on that front.

Update. Easy recipe. I messed up the proofing directions so the air bubbles are weaker than they should be. Great flavor even without any toppings.

We just got back from Italy and swore we’d master it (husband is trying some 40-yolk pasta?). Will report back!

While I’m here, I love your baking posts. It’s my outlet from the stress of the law and <waves hands around>. Trying Bon Appetit focaccia recipe today ….

Love this website and its recipes. They are more flavorful/interesting than ATK though I loved ATK’s meticulous testing.

The fact that it is “near zero” rather than “zero” is just staggering to consider.

Letter briefs are normal in federal district courts — but are they strange for SCOTUS? @stevevladeck.bsky.social

I’m just a lowly trial lawyer but I’m pretty sure SCOTUS could issue an opinion explaining why there is no irreparable harm justifying a stay and not confuse anyone that it’s an opinion on the merits. 🤷‍♀️
