guy who is being such an rear end in a top hat that he gets muted by the court and found in contempt

quote:


Marshall, who was indefinitely suspended for at least a year in January, said he wanted to address the court in his defense. But Chief Justice Shannon Bacon said since he is not currently a licensed attorney, Marshall would have to be placed under oath first.



Marshall, a former state legislator from Albuquerque, repeatedly interrupted Bacon until she finally halted the hearing and the justices walked out of the courtroom.

When they returned minutes later, Bacon announced she had spoken with the court’s “IT folks” to mute Marshall, who was appearing at the hearing remotely.

we liaised with relevant stakeholders and concluded that the project is not happenable given current constraints.

the types of peeps were are posting in this thread are immortal human character archetypes. long before zoom meetings would ever exist, there were still these peeps
