Today’s social media: prominent members of Congress and commentators get the holding wrong in Chatrie but “lord voldermalort” gets it exactly correct.

[Ryan Locke @ryanlocke]

@RepThomasMassie They did! Is anyone actually reading the opinion?

[Ryan Locke @ryanlocke]

@MorePerfectUS Not the holding! They decided it is a search and remanded to the Fourth Circuit for findings on reasonableness.

@GsuGrinding It's also the additional context or information about family/work/support situation. Even if it doesn't change the bond amount much or at all, it helps greatly in setting appropriate conditions of bond. I'm very happy when I see private attys at FA.

@Kam7810 A line up the west side makes a lot of sense, esp with all the development in the past decade

@nbaschez Yes send the link!

@dSebastien @fortelabs @lucaronin +1, trying it out this week and it's very simple and fast

@brianlfrye Especially funny because the article is written by a practicing lawyer I think. But to the critics it’s more important to have human-written esoterica than an AI-assisted article about what’s happening in practice from someone who’s doing it day to day

@ASFleischman Is the second best version paying random attorneys 2K to appeal two-week-long codefendant murder cases?

@bran_don_gell Please be the md editor, I’m ready to buckle up and replace Typora

@ProfRobAnderson I make counsel read the leading article out loud to the entire courtroom so everyone can appreciate the nuanced thinking and clear doctrinal takes. Often the entire gallery gives a standing ovation at the end!

@ItsMattsLaw Same! https://t.co/UU3pQU2o9E

The way I would put it is most judges will render a decision they think is unjust only if the lawyer convinces them they have no choice under the law, and will render a decision they think is just unless the lawyer convinces them that they can't.

@culturedcode @lionelrudaz this works great for me https://t.co/1kVUIbRn4d

@ASFleischman I have yelled at people and it’s okay, but the absolutely most effective response to bad behavior is to tell everyone we’re taking a 5 minute recess so I can go read my notes about holding people in direct contempt—and when I return suddenly everyone is on their best behavior.

@DougRobersonAJC They were playing in Canada so they don’t need US work authorization to do that. If they entered the US on ESTA, they have to consular process to change to their new visa (what they’re doing in Toronto).
