Does UAW still have a federal monitor reporting its internal ongoings to the Biden-Harris administration?
Expressed as a percentage, how much of UAW member labor goes to the manufacture and delivery of Teslas?
Maybe.
The more pressing issue occurs to me to be the leverage that flanking parties (i.e., media, other branches of government, etc.) will have over the executive office writ large.
Any number of good faith decisions in response to complex, complicated fact patterns may be undermined by political subterfuge and the threat of impeachment, etc., if immunity is pulled back.
This is the commercial equivalent of purging the business judgment rule in the private sector.
Yes, Americans' command of basic civics has bottomed out. And yes, this administration will continue to exploit and leverage that educational failure to no cognizable end short of complete power consolidation.

There are a number of stories cataloguing licensed attorneys' use of artificial intelligence to support briefs and pleadings submitted to courts. These briefs and filings often contain erroneous citations—many completely fabricated citations—to otherwise "binding" caselaw.
The article linked below is the first report I have read regarding a non-attorney doing the same. It also illustrates the basic reason I believe a licensed attorney should be subject to the most strict and decisive discipline for compromising its basic duties of candor toward the court and acting in the best interests of the client: public perception of the market for legal services is all we ultimately have.
Where those within our ranks make haphazard, reckless embrace of emerging technology to perpetuate fraud upon our courts, the integrity of our discipline shatters beyond our ability to comprehend.
The risk profile presented here is incalculable. Our court system survives on a great deal of mutual trust. Consider the second, third, and perhaps fourth order downstream effects of erroneous or fraudulently supported briefs and pleadings to the basic structure of stare decisis.
How long before well-meaning and diligent lawyers are unable to discern whether the opinions being yielded from legal research have been built atop any number of half-truths or worse?
I am grateful that North Carolina federal courts have taken a leading step in recent weeks to forestall the threat I have described here. State bars must be strong on this, however. We are a self-governing, self-regulating profession after all. That is, as long as we continue to earn the trust of the clients and industries we serve.

The "Biden" administration has substantiated its aim for Supreme Court "reform". I have linked the WaPo opinion piece published yesterday as a reply below.
Proposed changes:
1. No more presidential immunity.
2. Justices limited to 18 years.
3. New code of conduct.
Yes, Americans' command of basic civics has bottomed out. And yes, this administration will continue to exploit and leverage that educational failure to no cognizable end short of complete power consolidation.

The dismissal of the classified documents case is a seismic development. From the beginning of all of these cases, I have said that the Mar-a-Lago case was the greatest threat to the former president. It is now dismissed.
@LawPodDaily @PattisNorm @MichaelBoyer_ I'm very grateful for the energy and brilliance you've both brought to life through law and legitimacy. I will sincerely miss you both and hope to remain in touch.
