@TombradyEth @ASFleischman Yes, that’s correct. It’s one of Learned Hand’s lesser-known legal doctrines. Sparsely adopted and, to date, recognized only in Florida.

One of my favorite things about marriage is how you can just be on your own, minding your business and Boom

Banana bread.

@Unified_Duality @TheFP It amazes me how many people seem to NEED Palestinian suffering and for that suffering to be intentional to justify their own hatred. If there wasn’t genocide or deliberate famine, how do I keep telling myself I’m a good person for hating an entire country and its people?

@ARabbioutsalt9 @divinationpath @kansasquakerks @jason_koebler Way to shift the argument. The bribe analogy is not about the question of legality. It's about the logic of "attempts." The claim was "there was no attempt to cheat." Attempts don't require success, nor do they even require that success be likely or possible.

[IK (parenthetical statement) @ilkappy]

@divinationpath @kansasquakerks @jason_koebler Yes there certainly was an attempt. Just because it didn't work doesn't mean there wasn't an attempt.

If you slip $500 to the law clerk asking them to provide the judge with incomplete or incorrect case summaries, you still attempted to cheat even if the clerk refuses.

@DrEaMwOuNdS1 @kansasquakerks @jason_koebler No one says litigants can't use AI to draft arguments and bear the risk of bad AI. The problem is trying to exploit systems to win outside the merits.

This situation is more like submitting a paper filing with a chemical contaminant that inhibits the judge's cognitive ability.

@DrEaMwOuNdS1 @kansasquakerks @jason_koebler There is no prosecution or appointed counsel here fwiw. Whatever specific scenario you are referring to sounds wrong and unjust.

What's your point though? Because courts have not always upheld an ideal standard no one should be held to any standards? That's a preposterous take.

[IK (parenthetical statement) @ilkappy]

@divinationpath @kansasquakerks @jason_koebler No one says the court doesn't. Where is that an issue? The court did exactly that. The judge's staff read the pleading! And in doing that it also found that the litigant intended to cheat the system, which the court has an obligation to protect from bad faith actors.

[IK (parenthetical statement) @ilkappy]

@kansasquakerks @jason_koebler Litigants have a duty of candor to the court whose authority they are seeking to invoke. Using subterfuge to artificially weigh a decision in your favor is unethical and courts have a responsibility to protect the system from that behavior. Hence the sanctions.

@estherzelda0514 This is an excellent post.

@mattyglesias @neeratanden The goal is not to win. The goal is to be angry about not getting everything you want.

@HowEPhil Trolley line trail is awesome and it's a great example of adaptive reuse. But for purely selfish reasons, it would be amazing to have so much direct access to all of the commercial development that came from those reimagine Memorial projects.

@ZachLangleyNBA This team was playing loose and easy with no pressure for two months. And they played great. Whatever they did to exceed expectations was gravy.

Then they were up 2-1 to the Knicks in the playoffs, which put them at the center of a national media firestorm, and they collapsed.

@ceejaytalksball Jalen needs to be more aggressive. He can't pass up one man in the lane or an open three for a pass around the horn that ends up in Dyson's hands. He needs to have faith in himself and believe that he can make a play.

@AntwaneWillisJr ~80% of the Hawks' minutes go to guys 6'5"–6'10" with wingspans near or above seven feet, every one of whom can jump, run, and defend at a high level. CJ McCollum is the only regular who breaks the length profile. They're a brutal matchup. They were underestimated.

@RedWhiteBlueJew A sinister irony hides in these bad-faith debates over defining antisemitism. Those complaining loudest ignore that the term was coined to mean "hatred of Jews" by people who hated Jews, then attack Jews for misappropriating the meaning of Semite. It's subversive antisemitism.

@jonfavs @Yair_Rosenberg @jonlovett @TVietor08 They have become what they purport to hate: the left's version of Hugh Hewitt.

[IK (parenthetical statement) @ilkappy]

@jonfavs @Yair_Rosenberg @jonfavs @jonlovett @TVietor08 are making a calculated choice to expand their and the DNC’s political power and influence (which are intertwined) by courting openly hateful people, whitewashing them as reasonable, and misleading the audience to justify their positions.
