IN RE | 13 Angry Justices

How I Would “Pack” the Supreme Court

Thirteen (13) Justices. One Justice from the legal community in each regional court of appeals district and one from the federal circuit. The one federal circuit justice would serve as chief justice.

As one Justice leaves, they could only be replaced by someone from the vacant district.

In this theoretical model, the president still picks, but the pool is limited by circuit (and potentially culture contained in the circuit.)

My theory, the most liberal nominee from the 4th circuit is likely more conservative than the most liberal person from the 9th Circuit. Contrariwise, the most conservative person from the 9th circuit court of appeals is likely to still be more liberal than the most conservative person from the 4th circuit court of appeals.

IN RE | How To Get Away With Defamation

 

What is Defamation?

The claim of defamation is the publication of a false statement of fact to a third party that tends to harm reputation. Some jurisdictions distinguish between spoken defamation (libel) and fixed medium defamation (slander).

To remedy defamation courts can impose an injunction to end the behavior (not preferred) or impose monetary damages as compensation for the injury caused.

• False statement of fact (that the statement was a provable fact, not a subjective opinion)

• Published to a 3rd party

• Injury, demonstration of harm to reputation

Defamation Per Se

When the published statement of fact fits into one of these categories, then the injury (harm to reputation) is inferred. These are:

IN RE | Russia v. Ukraine (RAW-WAR)

 (This post is semi-edited and on-going. Basically a rant.) 

War always affects the common people, the engine of society. Always the people that didn’t make the policies that created the conditions that lead to War. The Ukrainian-Russian War creates an abstract idea that all Ukrainians agreed to fight all Russians. Statements and Generals made decisions, and common citizens died. Soldiers following orders died. 

The entire War is horrific but the image of evacuating the children’s hospital was particularly haunting for me. I have the privilege of being on the other side of the world and viewing a screen. As haunting as the images are, I cannot begin to imagine the in person experience.
