OW Holmes. Never wrong. Ivy indoctrinated, yes. But a war hero, not a scumbag, bookworm, know nothing, idiot savant scumbag.

OWH - Most overrated jurist evah.

Find a mistaken decision. You cannot.

If any lawyer can demonstrate to my satisfaction responsibility for the lawyerly conduct precipitating this guy's animosity toward lawyers, I have a mixed case of great beer waiting.

Bonus bottle of Rolling Stones tequila if it was pro bono.

I'll tell you my Charlie Watts story if it was pro bono on behalf of the Democratic Party.

Artie. I attended law school. Every turn of the page of every law book was like the shower scene from Psycho, surprising, shocking, and wrongful.

The lawyer is made oblivious by the rent. In the rent, people take $trillion at the point of a gun, and return nothing of any value. That is the lawyer profession. Oblivious, rent seeking, criminal cult enterprise, even with supernatural beliefs. Your core doctrines are as fictitious as any Star Wars story.

That being said, I owe half my income to rent from lawyer shenanigans. I used the law to fend off creditors, to drive lawyers out of business, to change state practices. The lawyer profession has been very good to me.

All my arguments are against personal interest. They are to help the lawyer profession improve from its dismal and utter failure in every self state goal of all law subjects, Administrative Law to Water Rights.

But did you actually complete law school, or did you wash out midway through? It's no disgrace if you did; not everyone is cut out to be a lawyer.

I finished law school, as an expert in another field. California did not need any additional lawyers. All Concord students were old people, experts in other areas. It makes it a unique place. I also did not need a job in the law, and could stand above the cult indoctrination going on. I remembered the origin of the shit being spouted from high school, World History, one day spent on Medieval philosophy. It makes the law completely unacceptable in our secular nation. We are also undergoing the Inquisition 2.0, a business model that lasted 700 years. 1.0 ended when French patriots beheaded or expelled 10000 high church officials. That is a good model to keep in mind for 2.0.

Artie. I attended law school.

If you call getting a mail-order non-bar-applicable degree from an unaccredited school, "attending law school."

[DaivdBehar]

Artie, you need to be replaced by a diverse.

Artie the bigot started drinking early this AM

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Artie was censored -- with prejudice -- by Prof. Volokh (for making fun of conservatives just a bit too deftly for the professor's taste).

I am Arthur.

(That censorship was Prof. Volokh's right. His playground, his rules. Hypocrites have rights, too.)

[apedad]

A little redundant on the "scumbag" n'est-ce pas?

[DaivdBehar]

Not when referring to a lawyer.

Hey look at that!

You don't even have to be a lawyer in order to be a "scumbag, bookworm, know nothing, idiot savant scumbag [sic]".

(Capitol riot suspect) Eric Bochene is said to equate representing himself in court to doing "business" and is demanding a fee of $10,000 per 30-minute court appearance, or $50,000 if the appearance is "under duress." For each hour of research, he says the court must pay him $500, or $50,000 under duress.

The largest fees, all due within 15 days of invoice, are penalties— reportedly $6 million to be paid if he believes there was an attempt to forge a signature or, bizarrely, $5 million for an unexplained "forced giving of bodily fluids."

"You want to do business with me? ... These are my prices," Bochene told the paper. "I don't think there's any evidence that a man can be forced to labor and spend time without compensation... I'm representing myself, so a lot of work gets put into this."

"Bochene is currently free on bond and his case is awaiting a status conference on October 29. He told the Post-Standard that he is uncertain whether he will participate in further hearings if the court does not take the unprecedented step of giving in to his demands for millions in payment."

I'm sure if he simply decides to no longer participate that that will be the end of it.
