Popehat is completely right. State attorneys are very different than federal attorneys for both civil and criminal law. In the civil world, a lot of attorneys that only practice state law get chewed the gently caress up in federal court because the places are just functionally different. Similarly, federal attorneys that come to state courts can often get hometowned in hearings.

In state court, you'll have a hearing for basically everything contested and procedure rules are significantly more relaxed. In federal court, often the only hearings are those mandated by rule or statute. Everything else is all about motion practice and following procedural rules. In the 11th circuit, for example, 95% of state civil complaints would be immediately dismissed in federal court simply because they are not in conformity with the rules of that circuit. I have a case now where I've gotten two of the plaintiff's complaints dismissed simply because they don't follow the rules. The opposing attorney is a highly qualified state attorney, but they do not practice in federal court and it shows.

I haven't looked at Trump's complaint, but I can assume the motion to dismiss from the NY state attorney generally represents it as it is. He's gonna get tossed out again.

You got back into lawyering? I thought you quit that to run a taco truck.

I started the taco truck while in law school and sold it in 2018 when I passed the bar. I'm not a big fan of being a lawyer (or the poo poo pay) so I went to school and got a masters in finance in May. I'm unfortunately practicing law until I find something better.

A couple of years back my sister died and I needed cash quick to get to see her (and my girlfriend didn't want me to die in a crash). I sold my harley I owned outright to the local dealership for around 5 grand less than what I paid for it years before. It's not still on the lot in town, but Harley has yet to sell it as the title is still in my name.

The dealership in town is under new management and a salesperson called me trying to get me to come in to ride a new bike. I politely declined.

I wouldn’t say lowtax lied about being contacted by the feds re: presidential assassination chat based upon a single poorly worded FOIA request. I’m not trying to defend him, but there are a lot of reasons a FOIA request will come back with nothing.

I think I mentioned this in Dadchat, but Michael Pollan’s book “How to Change Your Mind” is a well-researched and presented book about the history of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin. In recent years, more of the mainstream medical and psychology community has come around to their use in therapy, particularly for addiction and also people facing life-threatening illnesses. I’d highly recommend it.

I have that book and can confirm it is good.

FYI - charges against Blake have not been shot. He did have a valid warrant out because he allegedly entered his ex girlfriend's house, sexually assaulted her, and took her car.

He has been uncuffed because he posted bond. As of Friday according to news I just read, his criminal case is still active. I could look it up again, but I trust cnn.

e: I say none of this in a victim blaming manner. The cops beat the poo poo out of him before shooting him 7 times in the back. There is zero excuse for that and that cop should face attempted murder charges.
