Having Justice Alito draft the opinion is a bad idea. This draft is as subtle as a sword across the neck. I've seen Ted Nugent write things with a softer touch.

Is Ulysses S. Grant Due for a Promotion?

I already said we had an , but this is darn interesting, too. Grant was only a four-star general, and there is a move make him General of the Armies (six stars) posthumously.

What think you?

We’ll observe the birthday of a famous Army general who deserves a promotion, according to his fans, even though it’s

Trump-backed candidates see 'movement' in Michigan despite small rally crowd

This is pathetic. I mean, I could put together a rally for me and get 125 people there. Another sign the Trump magic is GONE.

http://ow.ly/CXE150It8sK

With temperatures in the low 30s, the crowd for the event was about 125 people. But speakers maintained that there's a pro-Trump movement unfolding.

The Detroit News on Twitter

In order to break this barrier, Judge Jackson has had to have patience and character in abundance. She has had to be better than everyone else to be considered as good as them. Mission Accomplished.

Republicans wax poetic about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that our Founding Fathers came up with, until the GOP Senators see someone who actually defended people and used those things in a Courtroom and suddenly they don't like it so much.

03/23/2022

This afternoon, I fully expect a Republican Senator to ask Judge Jackson who murdered Tupac. That will transition into a follow-up attack on Gangsta-rap in general and why can't we get Florida-Georgia Line for the Super Bowl halftime show.

New Oxford trial rules could shift defense strategy for Crumbley parents

Prosecution interference in defense opens up new appeal avenues. I guess tainting the jury pool not enough.

The actions of the court, Tuesday, could effectively cut off avenues for appeal and lead to new lawyers for Jennifer and James Crumbley.

I'm old enough that I was in law school when Robert Bork was attacked for what he said and wrote. Now I have seen Ted Cruz attack Judge Jackson for what other people wrote that she has nothing to do with. And do so poorly. A year in a courtroom would have done wonders, Ted.

Prosecutor wants accused Oxford shooter's name excluded from court filings, hearings

While there may be a logic to the request, I'm not convinced yet.

Prosecutor Karen McDonald is expected to ask the judge presiding over James and Jennifer Crumbley's case to rule on her "no notoriety" request next week.

What Vehicle Do Drunk Drivers Drive? Why, it's our .

No explanation for this. I was a bit surprised. If you get arrested for a DUI around Metro Detroit, you should call me. 734/931-0440.

Wayne County women and children suffer amid months-long backlog of divorce cases

You won't be able to access the article without being a subscriber, but the point is that it is taking a long time to process divorces in Wayne County. I don't handle those type of cases, but I have heard colleagues complain about the delays.

Though the unprecedented backlog is related to COVID-19, a Free Press investigation found the pandemic laid bare problems that have existed for years.

Ambassador Bridge trucker protest could end with court order, police reinforcements

Non-violent protest also requires that the protesters understand the legal and economic consequences of their actions. These truckers are about to get that lesson.

Police estimate that there are about 100 protesters and between 50-75 vehicles, including tractor-trailers.

I would suggest our President nominate Marcella David. I went to law school with her and can vouch for her intellect that exceeds any of us. Plus her temperment is better than some of the current ones there. She would make an outstanding choice.

Border protection officers seize counterfeit vaccine cards headed for Livonia

Unclear to me why people would go to the lengths of getting fake vaccination cards, but here you go.

Another Not Guilty verdict on Tuesday, which I am only now getting around to posting about.

Since Jan. 1, 2015, I have been unbeaten in jury trials except for one. In that one, I urged my client to take the favorable plea deal I negotiated, but she wanted to go to trial.

Next one will be in May
