Sounds like you missed this part of the article: “According to the lawsuit, 2 Milly applied to register his dance with the Copyright Office on December 4, but having a registered copyright isn’t a requirement for copyright protection.”

When’s the last time you saw a hearsay objection sustained during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing?

By that metric, Bernie Sanders would be booted from office as someone “too old to get 18-25 year olds excited.”

Maybe. In that photo, he looks like a white guy to me. I’ve never heard of him or seen him before.

Your first reaction to this new information detailing the horrific sexual assault accusations against a potential Supreme Court Justice is a political advertisement? Yeah, #metoo. As soon as I heard that there is credible evidence that supports this professor’s allegations, I thought to myself “Welp, time to start…

The prosecution has no duty to “refute” this witness’s “expert” testimony with anything other than a solid cross-examination, which they apparently did. They don’t have to call a rebuttal witness to challenge this gentleman’s credentials, methods, theories, biases, opinions and/or conclusions. If the jury didn’t find…

The thing is, most of the people who want to adopt a child are looking for an infant. I don’t think it’s nearly as difficult to adopt if you’re willing to adopt an older child. It’s also not that easy to find adoptive parents who are willing and able to take several biological siblings at once into their homes.

I feel highly confident that very, very few people have any IDEA what it means to be sent to an El Salvadoran prison. Neither would I, if I hadn’t stumbled across this article about that very subject a few years ago. I can’t emphasize enough how much I wish that everyone discussing this topic would hold off on further…

Especially since “Jamaican Barbie” is how the victim describes herself in her Instagram profile. If Brochu had come up with that name herself, then I’d agree that she implied some sort of racial malice when she referred to the victim as Jamaican Barbie.” However, since that is a nickname the victim had adopted before…

Could you possibly ungrey me? I’m so confused by Kinja.

At this time, Cruz has no known connections to or affiliations with any white supremacist or white nationalist groups. The white nationalist who initially told the media that Cruz had joined his Northern Florida-based White nationalist group later told the press that he wasn’t actually sure whether or not his earlier…

So you’re opposed to gun control AND opposed to treating mental illness?

All it takes is votes. If enough of our state and federal elected representatives vote to repeal the 2nd Amendment, it will be repealed. There’s nothing special about the first 10 Amendments that would make it more difficult to repeal them as compared to the other U.S. Constitutional Amendments.

Clearly, you’re not a parent. A dozen dead children, killed en masse, are not “a small grove of trees.” They are dead children.

I honestly don’t think it’s feasi to exclude every juror (or even every female juror) who knows someone who’s been a victim of sexual assault. Like you said, that’s just too many people. There’s a limit to how many preemptory challenges (challenges without cause) that a defense lawyer can make. And there are lots of…

When I was an assistant prosecutor, one of the chief prosecutors in the Sexual Assault Unit said the same thing to me. The way she phrased it was slightly different though. She said female jurors were “much harder on victims” than male jurors. The implication was that female jurors “expected more” of the victims than…

Actually, when I studied law and criminal justice in college and law school, we were taught that there were 4 primary aims of criminal punishment: retribution, rehabilitation, general deterrence, and specific deterrence. Retribution quite clearly means vengeance. Thus, at least as recently as 2001, college and law…

I don’t understand. You didn’t find my comment persuasive? ;-)

There really wasn’t a lot of humble in that brag, was there? I apologize for sounding like such an asshole. In my defense however, there wasn’t much i could do to avoid it, as I am, in fact, an unbearably insufferable asshole.

I worked with her at the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. I assure you, this is not a hoax.
