Tuesday: the US claims no international body (the ICC) can bind it without its consent

Thursday: the US claims the right to dictate other sovereign states’ laws and economies, with no forum for the Netherlands to contest on merits

We’re going to need some legal word smithing on the order of the #GPL and the #CreativeCommons licenses to make a false statement an offence in as many ways and jurisdictions as possible (any ideas, #lawFedi folks?), some #EXIF and #ID3v2 and #PNG and comparable metadata tags for carrying legal statements attesting to non-use of media synthesis (mislabelled as #genAI by GPT vendors and NPU/TPU manufacturers), some apps to interview and educate the user about media provenance and add those tags iff applicable, and some #Fediverse and web browser add-ons to filter out media lacking them unless verifiably produced before a given date.

...konnte man sehen, dass das Recht auf #FreieMeinungsäußerung, insbesondere von gewählten, amtierenden #Abgeordneten, sehr weit geht.

#Redefreiheit beschränkt sich nicht auf das gesprochene Wort. Gerade in einer Zeit, in der sich weltweit die Hetze gegen #Homosexuelle u. a. Minoritäten wiederholt, kommen derartigen "Gesinnungsbekenntnissen" durch #Mandatsträger mit #Vorbildsfunktion ein noch höheres Gewicht zu...

Pre-print of our Open Access Cambridge UP volume, Rhetorical Traditions and Contemporary Law, is up. This volume explores the often-overlooked relationship between law and rhetoric. Twelve case studies examine a diverse range of legal texts and rhetorical traditions
from ancient times to the present. The volume demonstrates the value of rhetoric in understanding and addressing some of today's most pressing legal and social challenges. https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4892978 #TeamRhetoric #LegalWriting #Lawfedi

We have gotten the collection Classical Rhetoric & Contemporary Law: A Critical Reader over the finish line. An accessible text for scholars and students (#LawProfs, #argumentation, #LegalWriting, #TeamRhetoric)—and curious lawyers in #LawFedi. Introduces the complex relationship between ancient western thought and contemporary law and the long history of some rhetorical concepts and practices that advocates and judges are still using today (not always for the better). https://www.uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/classical-rhetoric-and-contemporary-law/

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.

The added twist in Counterman v. Colorado is that the Supreme Court has adopted an orginalist approach to unprotected categories of speech, arguing an unprotected category must date to the founding to be unprotected.
