How do y'all find assets like bank accounts to garnish if the judgment debtor has just been radio silent through the whole proceeding?

I dunno what state your in, but in Texas you can get court orders directed at “any accounts” the person has and then just mail the order to all the banks and poo poo around town and they’ll tell you if they have an account that fits the court order. I think it’s called a turn over order

Also maybe wave garnishment sent to the employer? Again dunno where you’re at. Or a PI?

I started and finished school early, then I went to law school. Law school doesn't work in Russia like it works in the US because there is no college in its US meaning.

After high school, a teenager goes either to college to learn a trade (these people, with the exception of hairdressers, are almost considered second-sort, due to educational inflation), or to university for a bachelor's degree.

Law degree is a bachelor's degree like a million other bachelor's degrees. I finished mine at 19, but then I was fart-loving around for a few years getting more degrees (the jury's still out whether said fart-loving was for better or for worse for me in the long run)

I just use "law school" as a shorthand because this thread is 99% US and otherwise it's even harder to explain away than not having to pass the bar nor have any kind of licensing before starting to practise.

That’s pretty cool. There’s no reason you should need a bachelors before going to law school in America other than schools wanting more money

So you finished highschool at 14/15? How old were you when you started and how many years is that? Finishing high school at 15 in America is some of that “genius level child that has been deprived of a social life” poo poo

In texas they weigh the plant and then charge you based on that. So a 1 pound plant counts as 1 pound of weed/bud. how much did his plants weigh
5 - 50 lbs Felony 2* - 10 years
50 - 2000 lbs Felony 2* - 20 years
More than 2000 lbs Felony 5* - 99 years

They shouldn't be charging based on the total weight on the plant. They should be excluding {sterilized} seeds and stems.

Maybe under the statute, but do you trust the police and does it matter how they weighed it if you plea out to something lower because they said you had 50 pounds and are facing 2-20?

I do stand corrected though, I just looked at norml.org instead of digging up the statute

Do I not understand something or does that complaint contain exactly zero references to legal authority?

It cites a few statutes for diversity jurisdiction. In US federal court, you don’t necessarily have to cite a bunch of case law or statutes in your complaint. You just have to plead a plausible cause of action for which relief could be granted (this is the basic version of the text).
The elements of defamation are pretty basic, and it lays out the elements required, ie false statement, reckless disregard for the truth of the matter, damages.

Is there a lot of caselaw on what qualifies someone as a public figure?

I would have assumed he isn’t and also have been smug for the completely opposite reason, but I really have no idea.

Yes, there's a bunch out there, depending on what state and/or federal. He probably isn't a general public figure, like the president would be, but he maybe/probably is a limited purpose public figure due to his involvement in the cave rescue, being on the news a bunch, getting into it with Elon Musk, etc. Limited purpose public figures still have to show actual malice, but I would guess that a very well know, vocal billionaire tweeting that a (heroic cave rescue) dude is a pedo and then doubling down on it repeatedly would qualify as actual malice, unless Elon has some very very very convincing reason to assume the guy was diddling kids

Serious question that I know would never happen for a heap of reasons, BUT: what if the other SC Justices just straight up refused to work with him? What would happen if they just boycotted/went on strike and said "we refuse to hear or judge cases while he's sitting here with us"? Would there be any recourse to that, or anything Congress could do? Can they even be fired for any reason?

In Australia we have age limits (70), which has pros and cons, and they can be removed for "proved misbehaviour" and "incapacity".

Congress could impeach them, that’s about it. Supreme Court justices can’t be fired, they largely self regulate, and impeachment is the only thing that can be done to them, but it requires a 50%+1 vote in the house to impeach and 2/3rds vote in the senate to remove, so it’ll probably never happen (no one will vote to remove a justice that aligns with their political beliefs)

They don't have an opening in my town, and the spot I really wanted is getting offered today to someone else, but there are still other statewide openings where they think I'll be a good fit. They're going to schedule a second interview down in Orlando with the equity partner that runs that branch. It's 100% workers comp defense for insurance companies, but if there willing to pay alright it doesn't sound bad.

They had me take a behavior and cognitive assessment prior to the interview. I asked about my score on the cognitive test because I was curious. The test itself advertised a strict 12 minute time limit and said most people do not finish all questions. She seemed shocked when I said I finished all 60 questions with 5 minutes left. She told me scores are strictly confidential, but that I scored beyond exceptionally well. I figure that translates to only one or two incorrect. Regardless this is only my second time to get an interview callback, so I'm a little elated even if it means I have to move.
