    THURGOOD MARSHALL is the best Supreme Court Justice of my lifetime and who Bush/Reagan, in their sociopathic malice, substituted with CLARENCE THOMAS

  7. On 9/10, the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in League of Women Voters/California v. Trump, litigation over Trump regime’s effort to take over vote-from-home via USPS regulations. storage.courtlistener.com/reca

    Because this litigation is confusing, quick recap on where things stand as of this thread. Federal District Court Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction against Trump/USPS measures going into effect. 1/ #LawFedi

  12. Turns out sending words on stationary is effective in getting people to fold.

    The threat of litigation —not actual litigation—is enough to terrify people.

    That’s the bigger takeaway.

  13. Biden admin's push for #SCOTUS to avoid climate cases, the #FifthCircuit striking Nasdaq's board diversity rules, and the DOJ's stance on TikTok's potential ban.

    Also, this day in legal history - Joseph H. Rainey was sworn in as the first Black member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

  14. I reckon Copilot+ PC is going to be a product that an entire class of professional just simply can't purchase or use for work. Thinking of #attorneys, #accountants, etc.

    Surely the "features" will be able to be disabled, but can anyone reasonably trust that?

  15. PSA: To be "famous" for the purposes of federal antidilution law, the mark has to be "widely recognized by the general consuming public of the United States as a designation of source of the goods or services of the mark’s owner."

    law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15

    Your mark basically has to be a "household name."

    Niche fame is NOT enough.

  17. For anyone just arriving:

    I am a (#gay / #lgbt / #lgbtq) 🌈 #attorney from #Madison #Wisconsin.

    I handle #prosecution, but also #parking, #CivilRights, #ordinance and #contract drafting, #tax, and #municipal law.

    I post about the #SupremeCourt / #SCOTUS and #law / #lawfedi news and discussions, #politics both in the us (#uspol / #uspolitics) and abroad, and especially on #Ukraine / #Russia.

    And I adore #electronic #music and #videogames, #podcasts, and #books.

  18. "Today’s opinion is narrow. We do not decide whether the Rogers test is ever appropriate, or how far the 'noncommercial use' exclusion goes. On infringement, we hold only that Rogers does not apply when the challenged use of a mark is as a mark. On dilution, we hold only that the noncommercial exclusion does not shield parody or other commentary when its use of a mark is similarly source identifying."

  19. SCOTUS: "We hold only that [the Rogers test] is not appropriate when the accused infringer has used a trademark to designate the source of its own goods—in other words, has used a trademark as a trademark. That kind of use falls within the heartland of trademark law, and does not receive special First Amendment protection."

  20. It's a decision day at SCOTUS.

    Will we get #BadSpaniels? #Goldsmith (the Andy Warhol case over the Prince portraits)? #AmgenVersusSanofi?

    Stay tuned.

  22. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor talks with Dean Erwin Chemerinsky at #AALS2023 about her life, career, and thoughts about how law schools can make a difference.

  23. I've been asked (for reasons) to put together a short bit on trends in #privacy and #dataprotection space over the next few years.

    I've got quite a few thoughts on new developments, but would love to ask my fellow #privacy, #AI, #tech #lawfedi, #academic friends -- what impactful areas do you think will drive #privacy and #dataprotection ?

    1) the impact of existing and future laws (like the #AIAct), on how we deal with new and novel #tech and its use of #personaldata
    2) Regulatory and #enforcement shifts, particularly around the role of the #DPO, conflicts of interest, and #crossborder disputes
    3) The death of #onestopshop and a breakdown of the #consistency mechanism as we know it?!
    4) More #US states adopting #privacylaws similar to (but likely weaker than) the #CCPA. WAY more development of niche #dataprotection laws on AI, #biometrics & #kidsprivacy
    5) More alignment from other countries on a #GDPR-like framework - notably in #India and countries in the Global South.
    6) Tools like #chatgpt and other #privtech gradually starting to muscle out some of the manual #privacyops workloads, since there simply aren't enough folks capable of handling mountains of #DPAs, #TIAs, #DPIAs, #ROPAs, etc., etc.
    7) Some sort of resolution on the whole new #ePrivacyRegs.
    8) More muscling for digital / data #sovereignity & data #localization by countries around the world.

    What say you ? Do these sound plausible or crazy? What do you think will be prioritized in the next year or five?
