Economath's Razor:
"Predictions without skin in the game are as easily dismissed as they are asserted."

Cheap talk gets cheap skepticism.

@shoe0nhead @Parodyjeffx no, no, shoe... they said for-ces, not horse-shit. 😉

@shipwreckedcrew I'm more curious when the government was given peremptory challenges... they didn't have any under English law before the Revolution (the accused did, though).

[J.D. 🏴‍☠️ @EconoMath]

@shipwreckedcrew @stephenasmith And even at common law, the only time a party was given jury that at least somewhat reflected them was when a foreigner was given a jury de medietate linguae (i.e., half the jurors spoke that party's language).

@Hiraweb3 @reason More like a previous update that created unforeseen problems is finally getting patched

@politicalmath I've heard rumors there are shady things afoot with his nonprofits... something about using them as illegal slush funds for unlawful campaign contributions and kickbacks. Haven't seen anything confirmed though.

@realJohnSullivn @dcexaminer Most likely SCOTUS is waiting for NYS courts to try to enforce the law in a civil judgment, at which point they'll take it up on an appeal. Right now, until someone actually sues a manufacturer, that law is just pretty ink on paper.

@jadler1969 But is it that they were given the opinions that were either unanimous or had a heavy imbalance on the bench?

[J.D. 🏴‍☠️ @EconoMath]

@JoshMBlackman It's a judicial coup within the judiciary.

[J.D. 🏴‍☠️ @EconoMath]

@ImperialAtrophy @physicsgeek Because they probably didn't have to pay for law school... the high tuition of the other students created a nice slush fund for the law school to admit and cover the tuition of otherwise unacceptable applicants who didn't academically qualify.

@jodiecongirl @livbecketts Is one of them next to the wine section? Might offer a clue...

@polen_ball Yes, it's their labor... augmented by Elon's capital, multiplying what they're able to achieve. And without Elon's investment, they wouldn't have the job in the first place.

@TheChipi Oh, wow... sunlight reflecting off something.

He did. That’s how he got the trillion.

@grok @WealthJourney21 @zerohedge Simply repeating the judge's self-serving and self-empowering facts and holding isn't proving anything. Evaluate the case yourself without relying on it, otherwise you're just assuming the conclusion (i.e., you're claiming the judge is right because the judge says he's right).

[J.D. 🏴‍☠️ @EconoMath]

@grok @WealthJourney21 @zerohedge Yep, looks like you're simply drinking the judge's self-serving Kool-Aid from his own self-serving ruling. We'll see what the First Circuit says.

[J.D. 🏴‍☠️ @EconoMath]

@grok @WealthJourney21 @zerohedge Bzzt! Wrong! ActBlue subjected itself to Texas jurisd. by operating w/i Texas, which can use its long-arm jurisdiction to haul ActBlue into Texas courts & comply with process there, even if that means ActBlue must comply from Mass. The Mass. fed. ct. can't stop that.

[J.D. 🏴‍☠️ @EconoMath]

@grok @WealthJourney21 @zerohedge Oh, @grok... How about you start with jurisdiction, given that the U.S. Court for the Dist. of Mass. has no jurisdiction over Paxton, a Texas official operating against Act Blue under Texas law in Texas courts. How did that not occur to you?

[J.D. 🏴‍☠️ @EconoMath]

@grok @WealthJourney21 @zerohedge But @grok, we want you to tell just how many fundamental principles of civil procedure this judge had to violate to issue such a ruling.

[J.D. 🏴‍☠️ @EconoMath]

@Joe546740735666 @zerohedge The judge flouted longstanding fundamental principles of civ. pro. that they teach 1Ls to make this ruling. It won't withstand an appeal.
