Hi, Fediverse:

Whew. I finished this week's blog post. Do your thing, Mastodon.

https://terikanefield.com/beware-the-lawyers-follow-up/

It's a follow up from last week, answering some of the questions and comments I got.

In response to people telling me that I am overestimating the ability of people to decode legal news, I attempt to prove this hypothesis:

If people stop listening to legal pundits speculating, they wouldn’t feel confused and they wouldn’t think they need help from lawyers decoding the news.

@Teri_Kanefield Great post and this sentence right here cannot be said enough:

"Beware of someone who confirms your biases and asks you for money."

Especially when that person seems to spend the vast majority of their time on social media.

Thanks Teri. Good tonic for the week ahead. It's been fascinating to contrast the testimony in the Trump election fraud trial with the TV pundit analysis. Your timely advice that we make every effort to distinguish hard facts from opinion and speculation is going to be put to the acid test over the next few days.

Thanks for the post.

One thing I didn't see mentioned as a contributing cause of the slow going is the two clerks resigning in mid-term. Do you think that was a significant part of the delay since October?

Colbycolby,

@Teri_Kanefield our patience with Garland was your fault

@Teri_Kanefield thanks for these. slight typo “Cannon was nominated by Trump and confirmed in November of 2000.”

@nadams I'm not seeing the error. (me tired)

@Teri_Kanefield in the Cannon backstory.

@Teri_Kanefield@mastodon.social avatar

@nadams Right but I don't see what is wrong with it.

@Teri_Kanefield You wrote 2020 in the timeline but 2000 in the paragraph.

@Teri_Kanefield@mastodon.social avatar

@WearsHats Got it.

Sheesh I told you I'm tired.

@Teri_Kanefield "...with the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) and the Presidential Records Act (PRA) so she’s on a steep learning curve. These are complex pieces of litigation. "
I believe you meant to use the word "legislation" rather than the word "litigation"

@sswerdloff See. I can count on Mastodon. Thanks.
