#appellatetwitter It was an honor just to be on the team supporting Abu Zubaydah. "When elected leaders betray their allegiance to the law and abandon their faith in the cleansing power of the truth, they must find no quarter in the Court."

Everyone says I look mean on television.

New Year's resolution - still need to make an #appellatetwitter trip! Giving @JudgeDillard a boxing workout is on the list!

[Judge Stephen Dillard @JudgeDillard]

These are still excellent New Year’s resolutions.

So I frequently disagree with @ProfGrewal but he is absolutely correct here. Ozempic is a strong vindication for those folks who argued that changing dietary habits is comparable to kicking addictions.

If you've worked in the fitness industry, you've seen it firsthand.

[Andy Grewal @ProfGrewal]

Correct, you just have to “choose” not eating, over your mind and body demanding that you do.

It’s the same for the dehydrated man in the desert. If you offer him water, he can refuse — his arms don’t themselves bring the glass to his lips. It’s a choice.

🙄

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@ProfGrewal @MahlerAdam Yes, that is 100% correct.

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

It's been a good 2024. Let's keep that energy in 2025

#appellatetwitter KYCOA today: "This is a case concerning pickleball, but it is not a referendum on pickleball. This Court has no opinion on the propriety of pickleball as a sport, nor whether there are times or circumstances where pickleball play can or should be curtailed."

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@Txp_RBI_Xctuxl @CultLaser @DocStrangelove2 He trained like a 58 year old because he's 58. I guarantee his camp had to include multiple breaks/dialed down intensity. I'm 41 and I just had to take several days off because I slept weird and aggravated an old disc injury.

You just can't go as hard in training.

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@jbblawmd @lohanshaw You would be in the ring right now. That's just legs going out. He's probably perfectly fine day to day.

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@jbblawmd @lohanshaw Age is undefeated, my good man. We can, and should, fight it. But it's a fight we all lose one day.

Me in re: #PAULTYSON

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@jbblawmd @lohanshaw I think Paul by decision in 8 or a stoppage by Tyson's corner sometime after round 5. Boxing is really hard. It's much harder when you're almost 60.

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@jbblawmd @lohanshaw About that

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@jbblawmd @lohanshaw Those clips tell you nothing. Anyone can look lightning fast in a clip. I can look like I've got world class hand speed in a ten second clip of me working the mitts.

The question is how long can you do that accurately while not getting rocked yourself?

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@jbblawmd @lohanshaw I think Paul by decision in 8 or a stoppage by Tyson's corner sometime after round 5. Boxing is really hard. It's much harder when you're almost 60.

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

My two cents: insisting that lawyers treat judges as unfailingly fair and unbiased in all instances does not protect the judiciary. It harms it.

Judges are fallible and human. Treating them otherwise at all times makes the entire legal system look ridiculous to non-lawyers.

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

@chriskozak19 Yeah I mean I'm not going to sit here and say I could actually hurt Ngannou wearing a glove that size, no way. But the flailing, awful form makes it so much worse.

[Johnny Friend @JohnnyFriendLaw]

Just because someone looks like they can punch doesn't mean they can. And just because someone looks like they can't doesn't mean they can't.

[Happy Punch @HappyPunch]

Francis Ngannou violated a fitness influencer trying to hurt him with a body shot 😭
