From here: Eugene Volokh, a professor at UCLA School of Law, told Vocativ in an email that he is “not a fan of most privacy-based speech restrictions,” but said “this law seems quite narrow, and pretty clearly defined.” Seems. There is no "seem" to it. The law says what it says. There is nothing more to it than this. Either you have read it and thought about it and

I'm going to be messing around with Google Hangouts. If you'd like to join in, haz clic aquí. Does the embed work? It appears to be about 20 seconds behind. (If I'm not in, holler. I'm probably nearby. Otherwise check back later.)

Lest you believe I think Harris Prosecutors have a monopoly on bad behavior, check out the full video, then come back. Or here's the money shot: Kerry is my client. Paul (on the other side of Kerry from me) is one of Kerry's former lawyers. Buck is the lawyer for Jim, who lied for 39 years (including in three trials) about his relationship with Linda Jo, the victim. He also

A couple of days ago in felony court a guy who was supposed to go into custody decided that he didn't want to go. The bailiff and the process server (both Harris County Sheriff's Deputies) wrestled him to the ground. While they were having some difficulty subduing him, someone (the court coordinator, I think — I was focused on the wrestling match) came up to the two prosecutors who were

I teach the Constitution for a living. I revere the document when it is used to further social justice and make our country a more inclusive one. I admire the Founders for establishing a representative democracy that has survived for over two centuries. But sometimes we just have to acknowledge that the Founders and the Constitution are wrong.

"Rob" commented: An investment banker closing a factory that has been a small town’s economic lifeblood and shipping those jobs off to Indonesia is creating value for the shareholders, and thus doing what is ethical and appropriate within the context of how he chooses to make his living. It’s choosing to make his living this way which makes him an asshole. A CIA operative who waterboards a

When someone writing for a popular website says: Before I was a journalist full-time, I was a lawyer. I didn't do criminal defense work, but I am the daughter of a public defender, and the friend, former classmate, and former colleague of dozens of defense lawyers. I'm not a religious person, but if there is anything I believe is the Lord's work, it is criminal defense, especially

I'm not buying it. I don't believe that Harris County ADA Justin Keiter "used his DEA thugs to write a JUDGELESS WARRANT to attempt to terrorize Dr. Blanchette by Trashing Her Office, in an attempt to get even for Dr. Blanchette helping put Justin's father away for another 20 years." The sins of the father are not the sins of the son. Unless I am very much

What I write is what I mean. I will not gertrude. If you read into my words support or opposition for something other than I explicitly support or oppose, you are a fool. The revelation that Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker was bankrolled by Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, who had a hardon for the media company because it outed him as gay, has prompted some interesting
