Teddybear posted:Sorry if this has been posted already, but it seems interesting-- a California federal judge has ruled the state's death penalty unconstitutional. After skimming the opinion I would be surprised if this doesn't get reversed at the Ninth Circuit

I am a race traitor because I vote for the Democratic Party and they actively work against white interests by promoting affirmative action

Teddybear posted:If you don't have this on your table, you're not a politics wonk. Why would anyone who's not in law school or law ever need this loving piece of poo poo book? Random poo poo, but I know an autistic law student that was obsessed with legal citations (he source collected every citation in our casebooks for every assignment in every class) that found a typo in the Bluebook's citations for some California reporter or something, and HLR said they would correct it in the next edition.

KIM JONG TRILL posted:Bluebook owns, but it needs to be freely available. The rules for citing federal and state materials are fine, but the international rules are so inconsistent and bizarre. Why do Japanese case citations only include the docket number, court and year but don't include the name of the actual case like every other citation in an American document or article? Why are Chinese citations so goddamn long and why don't law professors ever know the proper format? Maybe these are based on those countries' citation systems but they seem arbitrary when compared to well established domestic citation rules. I was on six law journals and I think that made bluebook gently caress with my head.

Nintendo Kid posted:Japanese law scholars prefer to omit case "names", so that's why you're told to do so as well by the book. I guess Japanese law scholars are stupid then.

Nintendo Kid posted:No, it's simply just not done. It doesn't really benefit anything to do it, especially when being dealt with in non-Japanese writing. I too was outraged by the recent decision in 13-354, 573 U.S. -- (2014). EDIT: ^^^^^^and here I was ready to dismiss that country outright Double edit: vvvvv why do i even read fishmech posts Homura and Sickle fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Jul 27, 2014 |

Mitt Romney posted:Sarah Palin isn't dumb, crazy or other stuff. She's just making money. She talks the same as Rush Limbaugh. Really slow pace with lots of emphasis on random words. Speaks for 30 minutes without really saying anything. It's not just the bizarre rhetoric that has long since been surpassed by other right wing shitheads. Her syntax is very odd. I think it goes beyond being a bad public speaker because it's in her writing as well. Not to diagnose people over the internet like Brill Frist (Okay I am but whatever) but word salad can sometimes be a symptom of mental illness or at least a sign that there is some damage to someone's faculties. It could just be an aphasia from getting kicked in the head by a moose or something, or she could be schizophrenic.

djw175 posted:Out of curiosity, how do lawsuits for people from outside the country work? I suppose this applies to tourists as well as the illegal immigrants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_non_conveniens#United_States quote:In deciding whether to grant the motion, the court considers: I don't think that this would be an issue in some federal lawsuit against militia members filed by the families of presumably decedents that attempted to cross the border because the events at issue would have occurred in America, unless the militia members are literally shooting into Mexico. Furthermore, the whole reason such an event would have happened because the defendants believed the borders were so goddamn loose and insecure. I can only imagine the most shitheaded of Reagan or Bush appointed judges could accept an argument from them stating that moving between Mexico and the United States is too difficult for the other party.

In all seriousness, the Republicans' current fastest rising star is Mitt Romney. In addition to hoping that Joe Biden remains VP for life, I really hope that Mitt Romney is our generation's William Jennings Bryan of perennial hopeless lovely candidate edit: that gets somewhere, so not ron paul Homura and Sickle fucked around with this message at 11:25 on Jul 30, 2014 |
