Could be because they don't want their own witnesses cross-examined, could be that they're going to make the argument that the feds didn't make their case, could be that they literally have no defense. Who knows?

I mostly reserve "Nazis" for people who hate Jews, like swastikas, think Hitler was alright, etc.

I find some combination of authoritarians, fascists, white supremacists, and white nationalists works to describe most of the various flavors of awfulness.

Normally it's a sign they think they're going to win.

it's done when they don't believe that the prosecution has proved without a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty.

Guessing they're going for "we poked enough holes in the prosecution's case for there to be reasonable doubt (we hope), and since our client is guilty as gently caress we're going to try to appear self-confidently righteous since any evidence or witnesses we tried to present would just get torn apart by the prosecution."

The end of the oceans

quote:

Even more disturbingly, these falls mirror similar declines in marine life around the world. According to a 2015 report by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, populations of marine vertebrates including fish, turtles, birds, whales, dolphins and seals fell by half between 1970 and 2010. And although the drops in numbers were most extreme during the 1970s and early 1980s, in recent years they have accelerated again, suggesting a similar study conducted today would find an even greater decline. And in a separate study the United Nations found that, although demand for fish is still rising, almost 90 per cent of the world’s fisheries are fully fished or overfished.

There is no question these headline figures disguise considerable variation between species and regions. (The study of Australian fisheries found the biomass of exploited species actually increased in areas where they were protected from fishing.) But that should not divert our attention from the fact that declines were worst in those species humans rely upon for food: the WWF study found populations of tuna, mackerel and bonito dropped by 74 per cent in the same period. Or that other studies estimate the populations of large species such as whales, dolphins, sharks, seals, rays and turtles have declined by more than 75 per cent on average, with some species, such as right whales, leatherback turtles and blue whales, declining by 90 per cent or more.

Half of all marine vertebrates gone in 40 years. A third of large fish in Australian waters gone in the past decade. Ninety per cent of the world’s fisheries already at their limits or beyond. These figures speak to a reality few want to acknowledge, and the decline is made even more shocking by the fact that it has taken place so rapidly.

...

The threat posed by plastics, PCBs and other forms of marine pollution may be immense, but it pales into insignificance against that of climate change, something that was made heartbreakingly clear in 2016 and 2017, when the Great Barrier Reef suffered devastating back-to-back bleaching events that killed almost half of its coral.
