I am #notalawyer, but there are plenty of cases like this where officers are not convicted. The better Qs to have are *why* ICE is storming left-leaning cities, why Trump appointees will frame this as "violent rioters" + "domestic terrorism," and why so much of the right will believe them.

Depending on where you live, there can be community kitchens for doing this.
Some people use them once, & hold the knowledge that they *could use them again in case anyone comes asking to see where their baked goods are made.
"I totally rent this amazing kitchen space" 😜

Also, IIRC they did hurt someone, quite seriously. Notalawyer, but if they're not demonstrating any remorse for that, it not exactly going to encourage a judge to grant bail, I'd imagine.

I thought I saw there is a tendency of this SCOTUS to weigh in now but leave it open for review in the future. I don’t know the term but it was basically, we’ll do it for this president but it won’t be available to others once revisited. #NotALawyer

#notalawyer but I’ve got a hunch that you can’t overturn constitutional provisions with a line in a legislative act.

#notalawyer but I think the idea is that e.g. if Hegseth was charged with a crime and argued that the order was legal in because of the OLC memo suggesting the laws of war applied...even if a judge agreed with him about that, he'd still be in trouble.

I'm also #NotALawyer, but, I think she's covered by the AG telling her she was appointed.
A small fig leaf of "I thought I had the authority to charge. Oops."
Besides, Rudy Colludy barely got disbarred, and look at all of the ways he tried to break the law, in multiple states. And sometimes DID.

Wow. As a long time legal nerd, former big law firm legal assistant, but #notalawyer I’m beyond shocked at this entire exchange. When do we get bar referrals for losing licenses?

Will you be surprised that another liberal man who wants to ally with Nazis (just for a little while, he swears) is also eager to sacrifice trans kids?

Meaningless and unenforceable without defining "biological", something which the Supreme Court failed to grasp. "Self evident" is not meaningful phrase in law, I would think.

If he means he can lean on Red state Govs, then, sure.
Beyond that? Not legally, they can't.

in light of sandwich guy I am contractually obligated to remind you that jurors can always prevent a conviction by choosing to say "not guilty" 🙂
the power to refuse to convict is espech important rn given the Trump admin's rampant criminalization and repression of dissent (and other freedoms, too)

Why would I investigate a person who wrote an article I strongly disagree with? Of course I read the entire article. So did you. I’ve investigated the subject matter. Both sides. My opinion is the result of that investigation. The writer, notalawyer, says he is not a legal expert. I agree with them.
