This feels like a trap. Or a Kantian hypothetical.

But sure, bring a ladder though. There’s no stairs and you’ll go through a hatch in the bathroom. Just be sure to close it on your way out.

My house. In fact.

Possible, but reopening discovery is something judges want to avoid like the plague. Just a big can of worms.

My colleagues had success with this in our case against Bayer, which was also in the merger context, but a little late for discovery here, no?

There’s also perhaps an argument that having Paxton in the senate would be better than Cornyn. Voting behavior would likely be indistinguishable, but Paxton is a clown.

Word always brings out our worst demons. Multilevel lists are basically a coin flip on whether I commit an act of violence.

Not when they are the senior partner.

The main problem with styles is getting everyone on a team to use it. It only takes one person to decide to add block quotes hitting space repeatedly to cause chaos.

I’ll revise: it is one of the most important skills for a *good* attorney to have.

As an attorney, that’s also one of the most important skills for a lawyer to have.

Measles outbreaks are disturbingly on point.

But do they have sushi on the menu?

My favorite part about this movie is that the underlying crime that sets off everything is a securities fraud.

Not disputing he also seems to be kinda a dick!

I mean, in fairness, he did cover the crime beat for over a decade and wrote a major nonfiction book about homicide detectives?

You also probably could turn the Titanic around overnight?

I thought this was performance art.

Yeah, the kids are getting priced out of Westbrook, it’s racially diverse, and a bit grungy but in a good way. Or so they tell me.

Lewiston is hip now. Haven’t you heard?

I think he’s in an awkward spot and wants to keep the focus on Hegseth. He probably worries that blaming Bradley will just help Hegseth. Is he right? I don’t know. But I get the conundrum.

“This legislation will…ensure federal workers receive back pay, as required by a law I got passed in 2019” really encapsulates this deal.

Trading for something you already have.

It’s also an odd thing to say when the most famous dinner in Christianity was (or closely resembled) a Passover Seder?

Also, even the most “open border” does not = no border.
