5th Cir. holds that it was not clearly established that it violated a student-cheerleader's First Amendment rights to cut her from the squad for "liking" tweets using curse words and sexual innuendo.

QI for the Like Police—er, I mean, school officials.
ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/1…
This is another QI decision where the court declines to actually decide whether a violation of rights occurred, leaving schools free to continue Like Policing their student-athletes for the time being, even while acknowledging the plaintiffs stated a cognizable 1A claim.
(It's unfortunate, but honestly, the best advice you can give your teenager is to never fuckin' tweet.)

There's a theory floating around right-wing Twitter now that *Giuliani* wanted to condition a WH meeting on an announcement of investigations into Burisma and 2016, but that there's no evidence that he was following Trump's orders.

Taylor says not so:
Also, the idea that the Ukrainians weren't aware of Giuliani's demands seems not to be aging very well.
Also, well, er . . . Giuliani hasn't been shy about claiming he was doing it all for Trump.

This is a dumb argument. The Sixth Amendment does not apply to House proceedings.

You can tell because the text of the Sixth Amendment starts "In all criminal prosecutions..."

Republicans are complete shit about the Constitution these days, aren't they?
I can't believe this has to be explained, but drawing up articles of impeachment is not a trial. Trial occurs in the Senate.

Even that portion of the process isn't a criminal prosecution. The Constitution explicitly states that criminal prosecution could *follow* removal.
GOP brain trust legal arguments from the past month:

(1) You can't impeach a duly-elected president.
(2) Testimony is not evidence.
(3) Hearsay is not evidence.
(4) The Sixth Amendment applies to drawing up articles of impeachment.
(5) The president cannot be investigated.

According to the charging document, Stone threatened to take Bianca from Credico in the same email he called Credico a rat and a stoolie for refusing to lie to Congress to corroborate Stone's previous lies.

"I am so ready. Let’s get it on. Prepare to die [expletive]."
(Credico also took Bianca with him for his testimony on the Hill. It's a thing.)
According to the indictment, Credico kept telling Stone to correct his congressional testimony (Stone had testified that Credico was his go-between with Assange/WikiLeaks when he actually wasn't).

This led to the Pentangeli situation.

Eric Holder, possibly the most corrupt Attorney General in the history of the United States. Cut out of the same cloth as Barack, sharing like ideologies. Couldn't force himself to say Islamic terrorists..Holder’s past is a record of radical left wing shenanigans. Read on...
Not sure but having the Black Panthers and a takeover of an ROTC office in 1973 isn't my idea of glowing credentials. Like Obama he has a soft spot for the Panthers. Later when faced with charging the Panthers with Voter Suppression, he shied away calling them "His People".
Remember the FALN and hearing about the atrocities they committed? One Oscar Lopez Rivera who would become a controversial pardon during the Clinton years... guess who had a very big hand in that pardon! Our dear Mr. Eric Holder.

("Ex parte" is Latin for "from." An ex parte communication is one coming from only one party, not providing any notice to the other party. Basically the opposite of a letter copied to opposing counsel, filed publicly, and served via the electronic filing system.)
It is quite literally impossible to overstate how fantastically dumb Ty Beard's "ex parte" characterization is

To any minimally competent attorney, it screams "this guy doesn't know what he's doing"
JESUS AND PERCY INCLUDED A VERIFICATION, BUT DIDN'T TAKE OUT HIS LIE THAT HE JUST SWORE TO BE TRUE 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

The motion is weak and the basis is LOLable, but my suspicion is that the judge will grant it (though likely for less than 3 weeks)

Defendants will argue the burden is on Plaintiff to show good cause (the motion doesn't do that), plus ongoing harassment

Positive for the Defendants. He gives their attorneys lots of usable material

A good rule of thumb as y'all see an assortment of "bUt ThEy LiEd UnDeR oAtH" tweets from conVics is that they're typically projecting – accusing others of the things they themselves or R.Broly have done

Consider these excerpt from the R.Broly deposition...

Equador: Swedish national #OlaBini arrested for connections to #wikileaks.

Johannes Wahlström:

#JulianAssange's "human rights are violated on a daily basis"

"#JulianAssange is imprisoned for #journalism."

#MikePompeo on lying:

"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"

Grassley gavels the proceedings to order

Says yesterday's hearing shows Kavanaugh has a strong command of the law
