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

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. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.305406/gov.uscourts.mad.305406.168.0.pdf
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

You might be surprised to know that one does not have the right to speak with an attorney prior to answering this question (in many jurisdictions), and insistence on speaking with one constitutes a refusal to submit which imposes the civil consequences.
[Image: State v. Reitter, 227 Wis. 2d 213 (1999)]
-
We drill into people's heads that they should request to speak to an attorney and refuse to answer questions if detained by law enforcement, and yet one of the most common interactions (OWI/Drunk Driving investigations) often involves a question from officers without that right and that carries significant civil and evidentiary consequences:
"Will you submit to an evidentiary chemical test for intoxication?"

Fun case I found:
While the default right-of-way rule for vehicles under Wis. Stat. 346.18(1) could plausibly cover airplanes, the WI Supreme Court did not believe the Legislature intended it to do so and the Court was unsure how some terms like “intersection” would apply to air highways.
Air Wisconsin, Inc. v North Central Airlines, Inc., 98 Wis. 2d 301, 321 (1980).

Ohio lawmakers ban gender-affirming care for minors, overriding governor’s veto https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/01/24/transcare-veto-override/
As cruel as it is unconstitutional.
Seriously, apart from the fact that these laws target people based on sex, there is not even a legitimate govt reason to deny medical care.#law #lawFedi #lawfed #fedilaw #lawProf #LGBTQ #equality #Ohio #nastiness

The most analyzed factor of impairment in authoritative WI cases for determining whether the officer had probable cause to arrest for OWI? That would be…
🥁 *drum roll* 🥁
Odor of Intoxicants Emanating from the Suspect!
The courts considered this factor in the analysis for 53/73 cases and in only three cases did the court determine the evidence was not sufficient to meet the burden.

Fun facts:
The most analyzed factor of impairment in authoritative WI cases for determining whether the officer had reasonable suspicion to extend a traffic stop and investigate potential OWI is…
🥁 *drum roll* 🥁
Admission of recent intoxication!
“Just a couple beers officer!”
The courts considered this factor in the analysis for 54/75 reasonable suspicion cases and in only one case did the court determine the evidence was not sufficient to meet the burden.

One of the reasons #IAC2023 was such a big deal for me was that I got to organize, facilitate, and speak at a Special Session (SpS) devoted entirely to #spacelaw. (Special Sessions provide a much larger stage than Technical Sessions or Interactive Presentations and there is a lot more opportunity to really deep dive into a topic.)

It's #LawStudentNote season!
If you're writing about #DesignPatents be sure to read this before you cite any of those old studies:
-
If you've been hanging out with me for a while on here you've heard me talk about #SubFeistDesigns.
If you're interested in learning more, I just posted an updated version of my article on that topic, "Uncreative Designs" (forthcoming Duke L.J.): https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4496762

For #lawfedi folks that are more of the #lawprofs or #lawstudents variety, we have created a separate channel:

Anyway, there might be a #LawStudentNote about how the MPEP needs to change after Tam/Brunetti, if anyone is interested.

That "Green Tongue" was ever thought to be a factor of marijuana use is one thing, but to see it persisting in actual investigations in 2019 is law enforcement malpractice.
It seems to be that this is a widespread problem with law enforcement being taught to look for a "green film" in their investigations by organizations that provide trainings.
State v. LaFever, 389 Wis. 2d 378 (Ct. App. 2019) (unpublished).

Question for everyone out there who is interested in the law:
What types of content makes a social-media platform useful or valuable for you?
What types of law-related content would you like to see more of in the fedi?

Reckless Drivers Beware: it just got a lot more expensive to drive haphazardly in #Wisconsin.
The base forfeiture was doubled and now comes with an extra $485.00 in driver improvement and safe ride surcharges.
A formerly $313 citation will now likely come in closer to $1,050 for a first offense once all fees and costs are included.

Law360 covers the newly-released #BlueSphere hearing transcript: https://www.law360.com/ip/articles/1603426?nl_pk=fd062d42-234e-4b6a-b9b5-4052fd7ef7ac
- For my initial thoughts on the transcript (and a link to the transcript itself), see this thread:
https://mastodon.social/@design_law/110299204058901720- For more on the underlying issues, including how these lawyers attempted to justify their judge-shopping, see: https://mastodon.social/@design_law/109558115721798486

Remember the #BlueSphere case?
The transcript of the January 18 hearing was released today:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.422387/gov.uscourts.ilnd.422387.35.0.pdf
Judge Seeger: "I called you in today because I wanted to speak with you directly and candidly face to face about some of my concerns that I had about some of your filings."
-
“I know you’re shocked to be reading that the tax code is being exploited by some gazillionaire to avoid paying their fair share. But let’s look at how a Roth IRA has turned into the go-to vehicle for sheltering billionaires’ billions in appreciation.”
-
As with their previous statement to Judge Seeger (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.422387/gov.uscourts.ilnd.422387.20.0.pdf), the tone here is pretty striking.

Here is Blue Sphere's statement in Judge Guzman's case:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.423757/gov.uscourts.ilnd.423757.35.0.pdfDoes this strike you as "coming clean" about the judge-shopping?
-
As @hewittlaw reported earlier, Judge Seeger has issued his post-hearing order in the #BlueSphere case: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.422387/gov.uscourts.ilnd.422387.28.0.pdf
"The Court orders Plaintiff's counsel to come clean and file a statement before Judge Guzman by January 20, 2023, fully and candidly informing the Court of what they did. As stated at the hearing, this Court hereby prohibits Plaintiff's counsel from pulling any comparable maneuver in any future case...."
-
So, @hewittlaw posted about this document last night and I still can't get over it.
Basically:
Judge: Why did you dismiss most of the defendants from this case?
Attorneys: We didn't like the way we thought you'd rule so we wanted to try our luck with another judge.
