Not every maritime worker automatically qualifies as a Jones Act seaman.
Your connection to a vessel or fleet, the time spent working on the water, and whether that waterway supports interstate or international commerce can all matter.

@AnnaBower Had a similar situation where the company we sued was secretly sold during litigation. When I learned of it, I called a hearing. The judge asked who was in charge of the new co. Defense counsel replied he didn’t know. The asked him to make a call and come back with an answer.
The U.S. Constitution places limits on the American government's powers. Those limits would be meaningless unless they were subject to judicial review and enforcement. Fairly straightforward concept.
@blakearcuri@CJMordock@Boat_Lawyer@RunWithJason “For years, New Orleans prosecutors sent documents marked “subpoena” threatening jail time to reluctant witnesses to convince them to meet with prosecutors ahead of trials — even though the office never obtained a valid court order for such a document.”

@blakearcuri@CJMordock@Boat_Lawyer@RunWithJason Yes. And it references the “fake subpoenas” to which I referred
“Judge Julien ordered Orleans District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro to pay $50,000 for failing to turn over fake subpoenas — which the DA’s office used for years until The Lens exposed the practice in a 2017 story.”
@SaintsForecast The “years old” story was the Saints provided PR help, not that it was involved in removing names of pedo priests from the list with an assist from the Orleans Parish DA. That and leaning on local journos and outlets for favorable coverage.
@nick_underhill “Had a cc w Leon Cannizzaro last night that allowed us to take certain people off the list," — Greg Bensel
“allowed US to take certain people OFF the list.”
