How about we stop giving these people shorter sentences and start giving them maximum. Yeah I'm bothered by the judge saying he would have gotten a shorter sentence if he wasn't so hardheaded. Fucking why? Why do any of them deserve leniency for attacking the Capitol to halt democracy and bring harm to Congress? Utterly insane how this country coddles white supremacist fascists domestic terrorists. Yes, the Proud Boys and Oathkeeper upper echelon has gotten lengthy sentences, however their success was predicated on the facilitation of the mob such as these people the court wants to be lenient on. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...

Contrition/remorse are factors considered during sentencing. That's where that comment came from. I mean, I understand that in general for normal crimes. I just feel like the judicial system in general is being rather flippant over the incident, like it's just a run of the mill case. "Oh, he's remorseful for stealing that item and it's his first offense? Ok, well I think I can offer a reduction in sentence" These people were trying to steal an election and we know what Trump would have done with it had they succeeded. We also see it in the USSC in the way they so casually handled Trump's insurrection in regards to CO. They argued it from an academic standpoint over the legitimate and stated threat that Trump is to the nation and its ability to function. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...

I mean, I understand that in general for normal crimes.Agreed regarding the sentencing side of things. The academic issue is broadly applicable to appellate courts in general in recent years, especially where the issues are not "traditionally" emotional/high stakes. It was very apparent when the gay marriage cases were circulating in the circuit courts, and the same is true with respect to the various statutory schemes regarding transgender care. It's an unfortunate side effect of appellate judges being detached from the trial level: we only had access to a written transcript of the trial proceedings and testimony and copies of the exhibits. Without that personal touch, it's difficult to not approach appellate work in an academic way. It also doesn't help that appellate judges are generally in situations where they are not personally impacted by the rules contained in the authored opinions. That insulation contributes very much so to the approach that appellate work is an academic exercise. Not to say that all judges are like that. When I was clerking and drafting opinions for my judge, one of the most important things for her was respecting the emotional investment of both the appellant and appellee in writing the opinion (where applicable; if it was an issue over money like a business to business breach of contract or something, she was generally "meh, it's just money"). While I try to be objective both in my work and personal comments, I keep that lesson in mind. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Without that personal touch, it's difficult to not approach appellate work in an academic way. But you'd have to be totally insulated from society to not know about Trump's cases. Once again I can see that being applicable for the vast majority of cases, however this isn't that. I'm still peeved that Brown-Jackson would pull that stupid "dur is the A14S3 even applicable to Presidents? Durrrr" nonsense when we'd already known about Trump's Project 2025 for a good long time. How would the A14S3 not be applicable to someone who was not only ruled an insurrectionist by 2 CO courts after evidence & trial (the USSC didn't discount their finding on this, they just didn't care), but basically promised to destroy the federal government so no one can stop him from doing what they want on their official campaign website, and she wants to fucking argue if the President is "actually an officer", even though their oath literally refers to it as the Office. A14S3 not being applicable to someone like Trump makes it seem largely useless, especially given that they went further than needed to neuter it. That's the kind of thing that really pisses me off. It's like kids in a debate class where their decisions have no real ramifications to greater society. ThePieReborn posted...

So apparently the California State Supreme Court will make the final decision on his law license. This decision will automatically put John Eastman's license in a suspended state.

Jeffrey Clark needs to be disbarred, too. He was an environmental lawyer in the DoJ int he Trump administration, but was actually briefly moved up to acting US AG. Trump backed off of that because other people in the DoJ said there would be mass resignations if Jeffrey Clark was actually going to be AG. His bar disciplinary trial started recently. Yesterday, he took the stand for a bit and refused to answer questions either with the 5th amendment, executive privilege, or other various "privileges." At one point, after he asserted attorney-client privilege, he was asked who his client was. He answered that his client was Donald Trump, even though he never had an attorney-client relationship with Donald Trump. As a DoJ environmental lawyer, his client is actually the people of the United States. This got his lawyers to panic a bit and remind him that he needs to just plead the 5th. The fact that he actually thinks Trump was his client is wild as hell. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
