@JDScholten Bob Jacobsen! Still have the scarf and hat he sold me fall term of freshman year.

@CommerceGov @GinaRaimondo it’ll be more fun? FUCK YOU

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

@CommerceGov @GinaRaimondo THE PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER. STOP TALKING ABOUT IT IN THE PAST TENSE

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

@CommerceGov @GinaRaimondo these are not the real questions that people submitted. We all know what people’s real concerns are and this town hall is insulting

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

@CommerceGov @GinaRaimondo we’ve spent the last two years busting our asses and reordering our lives. Forcing us back into the office is going to cause massive attrition among the experienced professionals in the Department.

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

@CommerceGov @GinaRaimondo this is all utter bullshit. The vast majority of people in most bureaus don’t want to return to office.

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

A baseline is 2 days a week of telework is not sufficient. @CommerceGov @GinaRaimondo

No one buys the bullshit about value of in-person work after the last 2 years

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

This town hall is insulting to our intelligence @CommerceGov @GinaRaimondo

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

Is this entire town hall with @GinaRaimondo just going to be blowing smoke in our asses and complimenting themselves for our work?

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

If our safety was your first priority, you wouldn’t be forcing us back to the office @CommerceGov

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

CPSC is cool and all, but they ain’t got anything on the National Fire Research Lab just a bit up the road, where they can burn down an entire 2-story building - for science! https://t.co/C10nQXNGhG

Look, I get it. Everyone is tired of politics and the virus and all of it.

So take a second to read an article about a government agency that blows up mannequins and burns down living rooms in the name of public safety. With GIFs. https://t.co/UnbVUcbLvH

@MarkKittel3 @marceelias Don't get me wrong - I actually prefer the outcome in Heller. But the firm where I was working at the time was involved on DC's side and some of those "half-brain" folks are on Elias's team right now...

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

@DanielRSahr @marceelias This episode was on TV last night. "Breathtaking". Such a classic.

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

@MarkKittel3 @marceelias I just mean the theory of the case. "Can you believe these idiots think they can get a ruling that there's an individual right in the 2nd Amendment" was a pretty common refrain until the day SCOTUS ruled...

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

@MarkKittel3 @marceelias I mean, I know it's hard to take someone seriously when they use an aol email address in filings, but Dems ignore Bopp at their peril.

[altNIST @alt_NIST]

@MarkKittel3 @marceelias I was a biglaw associate in DC when those cases were working their way through. Everyone on left treated them as frivolous, particularly Heller.
