The Supreme Court's opinion is disturbing.

Your concept slightly more formalized is sometimes called the "veil of ignorance". ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/glossary/vei...

Watch for the American Right to begin to make claims that by overreacting to and mischaracterizing the Trump immunity decision, critics are causing “unrest”, and then watch for them to use that to justify the things Trump does.

I believe that cannabis should be treated like alcohol and harder drugs should be handled primarily as a public health issue rather than primarily a law enforcement issue. Harm reduction works.

It appears, the Biden admin is looking at moving slightly closer to that.

Suing someone for calling you a troll is irrefutable proof that you are, in fact, a troll.

I see that Discourse is happening among people who think US courts have not, in fact, found that code is speech and is protected by the 1st Amendment: www.eff.org/cases/bernst...

I have to admit, it no longer surprises me, but I remain deeply disturbed.

Once, after a marathon study session and in complete exhaustion, I forgot the word "chair" and said "those things...those things you sit on."

This is remarkably disturbing.

This is terrifying. Also, without doing a full analysis, it seems the takings clause would come into play for trying to reinstate a debt to the government after it was cancelled and/or forgiven.

I had a chance to watch Godzilla x Kong with my kids this afternoon.

It is fantastic. The effects are great and the fight scenes are epic. The plot has holes that Godzilla and Kong could walk through side-by-side, but who watches a movie like this for the plot?

Biden’s statement upon his son’s conviction is more or less everything you could hope it would be. I’ve had my criticisms of him as a President but one shouldn’t forget the difference with the institution-scorning rule-of-law foe Trump is very stark.

Initial reporting is not always correct. But if this story is correct, then the behavior of Cherokee Auto Sales in North Knoxville is reprehensible. It helps highlight the power differential between the average dealership and average buyer.

There was a really bad First Amendment decision that came out of the Eleventh Circuit this week.

I wrote a post slamming it, "The Eleventh Circuit Ignores The Supreme Court And Its Own Precedent To Stick It To Black Women."

Arstechnica said it well. Google's AI Overview lacks discretion and understanding of context, but those things are necessary to be able to evaluate information from a web search.

Ocampo Wiseman Law achieved another appellate victory. We had an erroneous dismissal of a case overturned for our client. The client will now be able to fully pursue their case before the District Court.

AI has amazing potential. But it is being rushed into places where mistakes including confabulations can have repercussions without being thoroughly vetted. That has the potential to be dangerous. Current iterations of AI should be used with caution.

Unless that lawyer is me. Feel free to raise me up on a pedestal. ;) Seriously though, there are some meritorious defamation cases, but many of them are meant to seek revenge or use legal process to silence critics. Anti-SLAPP laws are meant to help with that problem.
