sexpig by night posted:what the gently caress even are 'punitive damages' as some side thing. I thought that was the point of 'pain and suffering'? "You hosed me up and made my life worse, you have to pay"? It’s supposed to send a message to cut this poo poo out and don’t do it again. Which makes sense if it’s directed towards companies or institutional poo poo, like doctors, major corps, etc. Often the plaintiff has mild damages, ie only cost $10k to clean up the toxic waste that spilled on your property, but people realized that small judgments against corps won’t deter long term action, so now its 10k to clean up plus $2 million to deter. Same for medical malpractice. It should be 8k in medical expenses, $200k pain and suffering bc you left a sponge in some dudes stomach, and $500k punatitive bc stop leaving loving sponges in people’s chest cavity Punitive damages in this situation are stupid bc the guy already caught a felony conviction. However, since he lives in the same rich white people enclave as Paul, I assume his net worth factored in

CPColin posted:That's how I plan to avoid getting on a jury, next time I'm called into the box. The better thing to do is just say you can’t agree to whatever the burden of proof is. However, as an FYI, Don’t lie or say crazy poo poo during voir dire / jury selection. The judges and attorneys (probably) aren’t idiots and you can get in trouble for it

Pakistani Brad Pitt posted:What the gently caress is a Home Depot Democrat They go over it in the episode but it's essentially just a subgenre of dem centrist that is really into the protestant work ethic and thinks a lot of young people just need to stop getting tattoos and piercings and work harder and they'd be doing better for themselves. They're people that would probably be part of a conservative party if our country had anything resembling functional political parties.

CPColin posted:I was in the jury for a civil trial once and we kind of all factored in "don't do it again" punitive damages into our ruling. They read it out in court and the judge said, "Okay, now to the punitive phase of the trial." and we all groaned because we thought it was over. We had to listen to a list of the loser's assets and then go deliberate again. It sucked and if we'd known there were going to be a separate punitive phase, out initial award would probably have been lower. sounds like poo poo jury instructions if they didn't emphasize that the initial award was supposed to be compensatory

What do you think would happen if and when Trump literally DOES ignore a subpoena? It doesn't matter what past presidents have done. This is Trump.

Random Stranger posted:It's an unsettled argument. Legally, sure. Practically, there'd be a constitutional crisis, some sort of attempt at a coup, and a lot of violence and infighting as the President was forcibly ejected from his position and possibly calls for an entirely new federal government. Historically when leaders try stunts like that without having absolute control over their supporters and a clear advantage in political power, they tend to go down in flames.

What do you think would happen if and when Trump literally DOES ignore a subpoena? It doesn't matter what past presidents have done. This is Trump. Assuming the judge finds the protestors' arguments compelling*, Trump gets sent a notice to show in court or be held in contempt, at which point he either acquiesces or the judge holds him in contempt and begins leveling a series of escalating fines at the judge's discretion until he complies or shows appropriate reasons why he may not comply. *This is probably not going to happen, because "The President is the loving President and gets to submit testimony through either taped deposition or some other means, because him showing up to a courtroom in the Bronx would cause a minor local apocalypse" is actually a pretty decent legal argument.
