I hate immigration discourse bc it always devolves into the problem being some people are too morally good to be deported compared to whatever racist caricature of bad immigrants fox news is peddling that week, but actually the problem is just deportation
After QTing I looked at the bio and it appears to be a public policy professor?? Who doesn't know how to read a chart.
ICE cannot increase its enforcement of people with deportable convictions much bc they were already deporting almost all of them
How many non citizen "sex traffickers and violent criminals" do people think are out there 1) at all and 2) that ICE was ignoring previously?? This chart shows enforcement has gone up for everyone there are just a lot more people with no criminal record who exist
We should have sent @dieworkwear.bsky.social to the trial
Do you think it was part of the judge's instructions that jurors were not to go to Subway and get their own sandwich to see if it hurts to get one thrown at you?
I assume the jury is holding out til lunch tomorrow when they can properly reenact the testimony with their government provided lunches

If the sandwich donβt split, you must acquit
They ran out of I Voted stickers at my polling place (w/in commie corridor) just now, I feel like that's good????
do you recognize that sandwich
no. NO!!!!
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

He's been racing longer than me!!! He deserves a break.
To be a robbery it needs to be located in the violence/threat of violence area of action, otherwise it's just a sparkling grand larceny
I assume this is bc the actual definition of a burglary is incomprehensible to those without lawyer brain but you'd at least think we could learn what a robbery is
This Louvre heist reminds me of one of my great pet peeves, that we as a society do not teach people the difference between a burglary and a robbery
omg
AI this and AI that, the tip of the autocorrect sword can't even tell the difference between possessive and a contraction
What you won't get at Columbia is the ability to use the right its/it's
Nobody ever really talks about the law school as the woke part of Columbia, but I came out of it's college a liberal and it's law school significantly to the left of that
My 1L Contracts professor introduced contracts with a whole class on surrogacy (bless her) and it was so horrifying I'll never forget
