"Arm of flesh" is a late Biblical expression in some places in non-Mormon texts as well, meaning human power or strength. 2 Chronicles 32:8 is a good example.

quote:

7 Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him. 8"With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles." And the people relied on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

Edit: Beaten by DVox. That's what I get for not reloading before posting... Well, looking at the original Hebrew, it's just a word that means strength that comes from the word for (right) arm. It just sounds weird in English. Entirely normal expression though.

What if Ryan is incompetent? What if the aggressive and uncooperative behavior he has shown to every authority figure who wasn't his own father was a symptom of the same brain damage that paralyzed his face? What if, in the federal medical prison system, he finally gets the help he needs and he can start his life over again instead of dying in prison? :unsmith:

Clinical psych license application here, waiting to be approved by state board - can't diagnose without meeting him, ethics preclude internet doctoring, but would believe this is a reasonable diagnosis. What I've heard, especially in that long phone/radio/you tube we were on, is consistent with this description. I'll be interested to see and read the mental health expert's testimony.

I just had a strange thought - it would be awesome if Ryan Bundy freaks out to the point of needing to be restrained, and while struggling he inadvertently takes a taser to the face, which improbably counteracts his neurological damage and fixes his droopy face.

Sadly, I have seen people with psychiatric disabilities be tazed, and it didn't seem to fix anything. But yes it would be great if he got better.

The judge had him submit a document with the reasons why she shouldn't take away his right to defend himself because of disruptions. He must've done that so the judge told him that he can still defend himself as long as there aren't any more disruptions.

Today he complained that he still has a lawyer even though he was representing himself, judge told him that the lawyer is just a "standby council" to help him along. He then argued that his brother was able to pick his own council and the judge told him that is because he is paying them, then Ryan complained that it isn't fair that someone not paying for his own council has less rights than someone who does.

DV, you make some good points above. I have seen a lot of really horrible stuff go down that I couldn't stop, like the police tazing a disabled young man in my care... but your points that attitudes like those increase the gulf between the police force and the rest of society resonate with me, and I'm going to feel into my next steps as I reconsider my position.

Random story time! My little sister was stage handing in the room where the Magna Carta is kept, and I can't remember exactly what was happening, maybe someone needed to set up additional lighting or power but they asked the National Archives people what to do.

Upshot is "do it behind the Magna Carta" is now slang for "do it unobtrusively" in her workplace and in our family.

Preach. Public Defenders get poo poo on but they are by far the most effective defense attorneys you can find because they do this on the daily. Good private defense attorneys are either former PDs or former prosecutors with drinking and driving problems (and these guys tend to suck at cross because it's not something they get to do often).

There is no greater joy than shredding some Ivy-league white-shoe civil scrub who takes thier corporate client's domestic violence case. They tend to be a pain in the rear end with extensive written motion practice ahead of trial, but if you weather that you're golden.

I must not be thinking of the right thing - why would a corporate client have a DV case? Wouldn't the District attorney be the lawyer?

Yeah, sorry if that wasn't clear. Upstanding businessmen are used to getting thier way and often pay a premium to really good civil attorneys to do so. When they get charges with smacking around thier spouse they want to go with the guy/firm that they trust with their millions. Good attorneys also tend to a bit cocky and by God if I can successfully fight off the IRS how hard could it be to whip some misdemeanor prosecutor?

They aren't bad lawyers, but criminal versus civil law are like very different dialects of the same language. Moreover if you are a good civil attorney you'll almost never see a jury.

Ah I was just confused. So they use their company's lawyer as a defense attorney. From how you phrased it I thought you meant that you as the public defender was winning against the Ivy League lawyer who was on the other side.
