I talk about federal court decisions. A lot.
Sometimes the most you can do is the best you can do.

- 9th Cir. revives an RLUIPA claim from a Nichiren Buddhist inmate who was disenrolled from the halal prison diet he opted for as the closest approximation of his religious needs bc he purchased some non-halal items from the commissary. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
- Day 21: doesn't look comfortable to me, but okay . . .
- "Look at me! Look at me! I'm so provocative!"
- This is good (especially if you're the appellee/respondent). If you've hit everything you need to hit, and there are no additional questions from the panel: "If there are no further questions from the panel?" [beat] "Thank you very much for your time. We urge you to [relief sought]." [sit]
- I've done this more than once when a panel is telegraphing complete disinterest. Hit my points and get outta there. Especially when there are three or four cases coming after mine. They have things to do, and if they've already decided mine, it's time to move out of the way.
- Jeff Besos never really struck me as a Sports Guy.
- Has any of the reporting on Julie Le's courtroom comments told us what happened *after* she suggested that she be held in contempt so she can get some sleep? I would like to know what the judge said, what the judge did, whether other counsel had a comment, etc.
- Trump's mass deportation plan destroyed the U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota. Why were they even in Minnesota? Trump saw news reports reacting to the incel influencer who falsely claimed that there was a lot of daycare fraud. Today, @nytimes.com gave that incel influencer a glowing profile.
- Whoa. Tucked into here is reporting that AUSA Ana Voss has also given her notice of resignation. Voss is a well-respected AUSA who has basically been carrying a lot of these cases by herself.
- “it takes 10 emails from me for a release condition to be corrected. It takes me threatening to walk out for something else to be corrected.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
- ICE is not DOJ, Maybe everyone slow down.
- Yes, yes, watch a different show, but it reminds me when Donna does a thing for some people who want to take "North" out of "North Dakota" and they complain that they don't get as much tourism as South Dakota. "They have the word 'south.'" Donna: "Also Mount Rushmore."
