In the United States, if you’re going to call a man a pedo, you really need to make sure your shit is buttoned up tight. Because if it’s not, you’re going to have a tough time defending the libel lawsuit.

Now, if you’re a homeless person on the street, or an anonymous Internet poster with “dozens” of views, you probably won’t get sued. Because the chances are you don’t have enough money to make a lawsuit worthwhile.

For a company that has money that could be collected in such a lawsuit, it’s a lot easier and cheaper to just not say that.

Okay. Now go to File Explorer and right click to create a new text file and try to name it “con”. That’s three letters: con. You can’t do it. Not allowed. Because CON has been reserved (in every directory on every drive) for piping to and from console since MS-DOS 2 or so. (I think 2 is when they stole pipes from Unix)

Okay. Now, open just about any kind of desktop window and double click in its upper left corner. In > 9 windows out of 10 that action still closes the window even though the “close window” button was moved to the upper right corner by Windows 3. Even though a bunch of modern applications don’t even have any icon there at all any more.

What the lawyers say is not under oath unless they go to the witness stand and swear in. The main reason is that lawyers mainly are in the court to make opinionated arguments, not to give facts.

Lawyers do have a “duty of candor” to the “tribunal” at all times, however. This is because they have taken an oath (different from the witness oath) to become “officers of the court”. This means they cannot knowingly misstate facts or law to the court.

But the maximum exposure on a duty of candor violation is court sanctions, like fines or adverse court outcomes, possibly contempt, and bar discipline, and so on. It’s not the crime of perjury.

There is a rule that covers fake citations, AI or not. But it’s not immediate.

What’s happens is the court makes a disciplinary referral to the state bar association, which handles barring and disbarring. At minimum there’s some kind of additional bar discipline hearing before adverse action.

Each federal court, district or appellate, can also independently revoke admission to the bar of that individual court.

It sounds like they sent two full vials into her arm muscles and just about anywhere else in her body except the blood system.

My understanding is they got two whole vials of pentobarbital into her. But she had previously warned in one of her legal challenges that a pre-existing medical condition would prevent the one drug protocol from working on her.

Your thumbprint or face ID can also be “searched”. But your unlock code is testimony, for which you have the right to remain silent.

Within the first amendment law, there are distinctions between the White House press briefing room versus other events in other parts of the white house. There’s a stricter standard for denying press access to the briefing room, because it was designated as a non public forum. Whereas the rest of the white house is simply non public / non forum.

That’s why some of these issues likely need separate litigation and motions.
