If Trump wins reelection, Fulton County's charging and hiring decisions in the case against him will be seen as some of the most impactful prosecutorial fuckups in world history.
@brainchild138 @Cho_cathal_ic @RoborosewaterM You have effect A, that cares about event X (draw, damage, whatever). X happens, and A applies its effect. Now we have "X modified by A," which A doesn't modify again because all A cares about is X and nothing more.
Not sure that perfectly captures the rule, but might make sense
@brainchild138 @Cho_cathal_ic @RoborosewaterM If I understand you correctly, the example on the page I linked addresses that situation:
If you have two permanents with "if you would do damage, double it," and you shock something, it does 8 damage (not 4 or an infinite amount).
@brainchild138 @Cho_cathal_ic @RoborosewaterM It wouldn't loop endlessly:
614.5. A replacement effect doesn’t invoke itself repeatedly; it gets only one opportunity to affect an event or any modified events that may replace that event.

Yesterday, we lost a music legend and, more importantly, a beautiful, luminous human being. Shaun Martin touched so many people during his life and through the beautiful immortality of music, will continue to do so. There’s so much that can be said but words can’t do justice. RIP
@espinsegall @JC_Hathaway The biggest problem with talking about originalism is that everyone uses the term differently. I didn't mean to suggest anyone does originalism like we do, and I hope you don't mistake either it or myself as defending originalism as it's practiced in the US.
there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?
@AuntIzzy@legalwritingpro None. She was pro se, and probably needs the kind of professional help prisons and jails are bad at providing. That and federal judges are so hesitant to find people in contempt. I doubt the judge did more than chuckle and perhaps, like me, bring it up at often as possible after.
New paper by @BrianFl38315947 and @almeida2808 finding that, as a descriptive matter, people don’t have merely descriptive theories of law. https://t.co/ggbEl47t42
