A mastercut of shitty lawyers trying to fool the Court with their automated laziness.

“It's striking, concerning, disappointing, and saddening to think that members of the bar would forward cases to a court that don't exist, and to think that the lawyers on the other side of that didn’t read it for whatever reason, didn’t check it.”
Update. "Feds failing in bid to take a supercomputer from a climate research center."

The judge ruled that the Trump admin failed "to articulate any rationale" for its action (violating the Administrative Procedures Act) and was "meant to pressure Colorado’s Democratic governor about an unrelated matter."

I hope some Simple Sabotage is being applied to the demands of the corrupt DoJ, a good lawyer should know how to do that...
"While the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, or GINA, protects workers from being fired over their genetic test results, and the Americans With Disabilities Act protects those with active disabilities, neither law compels an employer to provide accommodations to help mitigate a person’s future health risk."

Nearly a year ago, nine people from Spokane, Wash., were arrested for conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers after they participated in a protest at the city's ICE building. Six took plea deals. Today, three were found guilty, facing maximum sentences of six years in federal prison and/or $250,000 in fines. @RANGEMedia, which has been extensively covering the trial, has more.

There have been #SciFi stories for decades about androids and aliens not being presumed to have human rights, from Asimov to Star Trek. I've long thought that no real-world legal system would actually have done this, though.
It turns out that #Delaware, with no fanfare, extended voting rights to all 'artificial entities' in 2006. (Notice that the list is 'including but not limited to' rather than exhaustive. That's legally important.)
Now-former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was convicted of felony obstruction of justice for concealing an undocumented immigrant in her courtroom. Now, there's a chance she may get a judgment of acquittal or a new trial. @allrisenews's Adam Klasfeld talks to former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman about the legal grounds for this.
The now-former Milwaukee County judge learned that a new precedent undermines a key legal instruction.
