That’s not true. But in October of 1904, Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky left the Baltic and sailed 18,000 miles to the Sea of Japan to avoid an interview with Chotiner.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure he’s been to, Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia and those states are only border states if you count the ocean as the border. I figure that Greg counts any state as a border state if you can leave the USA from its borders.

Well, he is a member of the Cherokee Nation. I don’t know about the Cherokee naming practices.

I think you are correct. But he told them that when they do liquidate the unliquidated accounts they have to zero out the IEEPA tariffs.

I think the judge pointed out that the law sets a 90 day deadline. If the refunds aren’t timely processed through the normal Customs mechanism, Judge Eaton is going to ask for a witness from Customs who can explain why they haven’t complied with his order.

Not even just petulance. They were caught off guard to the point of having to tell the judge that they couldn’t answer his questions because they had no instructions from the client.

That’s not true. But Hannibal Barca marched over the Pyrennes and the Alps to escape an interview with Chotiner.

That’s not true. But John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, marched all the way from Bedburg to Blenheim to avoid an interview with Chotiner.

That’s not true. But Chief Joseph led the Nez Perce on an 1,100 mile trek to evade an interview with Chotiner.

That’s not true. But Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped on a boat to Skye to avoid an interview with Chotiner.

US: What about potential claimants who haven’t filed a claim?

The COURT: You don’t want them to file a claim. You don’t want to respond to thousands of summonses. And I don’t want to hear thousands of cases.

@gregdoucette.bsky.social

Did you listen to this? It’s hilarious!!

US: We aren’t prepared to brief the merits today.

The COURT: There aren’t any merits.

Well, throw them into an unfamiliar office with no training or access to the right tools and assign them to 100 cases and how well they know Word is going to be the least of their problems.
