May it Displease the Court Podcast

A podcast by attorney Mary Whiteside that looks critically at the American legal system with a focus on behind-the-scene power-players and how it can improve.

FYI: Direct File is still available & safe to use for 32 million people in 25 states.

Elon Musk said he "deleted" 18F, an agency that worked on Direct File.

This caused a lot of confusion, but Direct File is still up & running.

Help us combat Musk's misinformation & pass it on.

@atrupar Reasonable doubts about the free and fair election. We’re their enough votes to make manipulation harder to detect? That’s believable. Russia, billionaires, zealots and bigots didn’t cheat to assume power sure sure sure

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

To federal employees eyeing Trump's federal employee buyout scheme, consider this:

We don’t even have a budget in place. Trump lacks the appropriations to fund his promises.

Buyout authority has a $25K limitation, by law.

Democrats failing us alongside GOP who are lost. Disgraceful and immoral and pointless. Designed to cage climate change refugees that the powerful know are coming bc of uncheck fossil fuel greed making parts uninhabitable. The ultra rich think they can survive irregardless

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

UPDATE: voting is happening now, and enough Democrats have already joined Republicans that the filibuster can be broken and this monstrosity will become law.

@harrylitman @MSNBC @AnaCabrera Thanks Merrick Garland! Is he some foreign operative or just the worst man for the job? Doubt a woman would have been so spineless. Him and Mueller I don’t know if they were just insanely unable to rise to the challenge or double agents. Both epic failures

Could not be more disgusted at fellow Californians. Not surprised at Kamala, bc a former prosecutor can’t help themselves.

[Andrew Kaczynski @KFILE]

Prop 36 in California which increases penalties for repeated theft offenses and certain drug crimes - and which Kamala Harris declined to give position on last days of the campaign is currently leading in *every single* country in California and has 70% support.

I hate it here. People suck

[Mackenzie Mays @MackenzieMays]

California voters have approved a measure that undoes progressive crime reform and are on track to:

-reject a minimum wage increase
-reject a measure to outlaw forced prison labor
-reject a measure that allows more rent control

@Jer_Baron I bought it. But I’m too nervous to even crack it open.

[Jon Tester @jontester]

I'm a third-generation Montanan and the Senate's only working dirt farmer. My opponent is a multimillionaire out-of-stater who Montanans can’t trust. I'll take those odds any day.

Go vote.

@espinsegall Who derives her power from promoting the patriarchy and white supremacy. Explains many white women

@DietCoke_Esq If male partners want to keep this guy then they should do 100% of the work and give the female attorneys 80% of the fee.

[May it Displease the Court Podcast @courtpod]

@notcapnamerica No. Of all the analysis to explain the phenomenon that is ridiculous. And shows you have no understanding of the lives of most women. An ultra tiny rich minority in the world have servants and even those women perform unpaid sexual labor.
