“Television Marriage Semifinals” is definitely a phrase I’m going to utilize in any future Bachelor discussions

That is a fantastic and extremely classy threesome quote. BRAVO

Who voted for Current-State Jax? You’re likely to end up with a sweaty, crimson-faced corpse pinning you to his futon.

Not saying you’re wrong...

You would think but the vast majority of their articles dealing with legal issues are completely bereft of actual legal analysis. Another example is them trotting out the Answer filed by Wal-Mart’s defense attorneys in response to the Tracy Morgan lawsuit wherein they assert the affirmative defense that his failure to…

God help me, you saved my sanity today. I cannot believe what I am reading about this case, and from otherwise usually reliable sources of information.

Yes, every non-lawyer loves to scream that justice delayed is justice denied. There’s only one problem with that... justice denied is justice denied.

Also, I have not seen mentioned in most of the coverage that Sony offered to let her record her albums without working with Dr. Luke - she fears that if she takes that offer, they won’t be promoted as heavily. So this is also not a case of Sony forcing her to work with her abuser - it’s Sony wanting her to honor her…

I don’t think she’s obligated to work with, or be around Dr. Luke—and I don’t think she alleged that she’s in imminent physical danger here. I doubt she’s alleging that she suspects he’s going to rape her again.

But nobody is forcing Kesha to work with Dr. Luke. She has every right to have no contact with him. All the court is saying is that she doesn’t have the right to break the terms of her agreement by working for someone else or independently. The court does not award specific performance on employment contracts. That’s…

Or maybe Jezebel should ask one of their lawyer commentators for some assistance before drafting posts about legal issues. I’ve been volunteering for years. Just like when Gawker posted that awful article lambasting the aunt who sued her nephew for a broken arm without any context for why or how that could happen…

Word. PLUS - that comment that she should be pursuing criminal charges instead?

See my reply to snapdragon.

Thanks for voicing this. You can be pro-Kesha to the Nth degree (as I am), but people have to recognize this isn’t what the civil suit is about. Until he is convicted, there’s no legal reason to void her contract. It’s awful, but the correct application of the law.

Jez really needs some legal advisors. The generalizations and misinterpretations for the sake of drama/outrage generation tend to undermine their arguments. I mean, the court isn’t exactly dry-washing its hands with evil glee while they kick back a few with Dr. Luke and Sony’s legal team and drown kittens in a sack.

Yes, you can lose an injunction and still win the case. I’m trying not to be hard on the laypeople here, but it’s hard when so many feel qualified to provide their opinion on a legal matter.

Right! And sometimes they’ll even say as much in their decisions. “The Court would have provided Plaintiff with relief, but they failed to request same in their complaint.” I mean, you even see it on Judge Judy (I know) sometimes. She’ll say “I would have awarded you $5k, but you only asked for $3k so that’s as much…

Thal for this. Legal matters are so tricky.

It’s about the interpretation and application of existing law. If you don’t like it, talk to your state representatives. But let’s stop with the bashing of the Judge and Court. Her ruling was not wrong.
