I am not a member of the DC Bar (or any BAR for that matter) but I'll give credit where credit is due.

I am super appreciative of #LegalEagle and his videos, but this is arguably his most important and it isn't very algorithm pleasing so I fear it will fall behind.

But there are #dcbar elections coming up and I'd anyone in the DC Bar sees this, it is crucial you elect #DianeSeltzer as the President to aid in these perilous times, she is far more accredited, and less dangerous than her opponent, none other than the brother of Pam Bondi. He will sell the legal system to #Felon47. Video with more details is attached

The latest #LegalEagle video is a bit political, so I'm not going to hyperlink to it.

But there's an amusing little moment when Devin Stone mispronounces Worcester, one of the litigants in Worcester v. Georgia, a landmark case from the 1830s, as "wur chester".

The New England pronunciation — Samuel Worcester came from Vermont. — is the same as ours.

"NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government" says a YouTube commenter on the latest #LegalEagle video.

How is that not already a #TheOnion headline?

Answer: Because it was a headline in #TheShovel back in 2020, for an article that was mysteriously removed in March of this year.

The Shovel · NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government — The Shovel“This is the one we’ve been talking about! Damn it!”

I love the "Law and Chaos" podcast. I don't always have time for it, and it's a lot of the similar kind of waffling that many people don't like about e.g. "This Week in Virology".

But that's why I like it. It's just friends hanging out and offering their deep expertise about current events, and you get to be the fly on the wall. When I do have the time, I'm always happy that it's there for me.

Maybe the best thing about it is that Liz Dye is a nerdy lawyer and Andrew Torrez is an even nerdier lawyer. She will go in-depth on some recent event, and then he will go even deeper, provide some obscure background, make a joke about a case from 1983, until she audibly rolls her eyes and goes "... ok", and moves on. 😁

Thank you to #LegalEagle for pointing me their way.
