Wyeth v Levine

No pre-emption by FDA approval on product liability.

The Rent Seeking Theory of Appellate Decisions trumps all ideology and political affiliation. This decision was predicted at the time of cert.

Dade Bar Apologizes for Segregation Sins, Misses the Genocide of Blacks by Lawyers

This water fountain caper was a trivial offense, of hurt feelings.

No one is apologizing for the 5000 lynchings that took place. These had a business model. They went after the prosperous black merchant or professionals.

The KKK was lawyer and judge founded and led. It is impossible to kill 5000 people without immunity and collusion of prosecutors, judges, and police. These had to be paid off.

Lawyer question. Can a deed obtained by murder ever get quiet?

Instead of dumbass reparations movement seeking to attack our corporations and banks, the compensation of the heirs for the seizure of all those properties by murder awaits the right lawyer.

Trial Lawyer Boss to Run US Health Care

This trial lawyer will dictate, crush, and oppress clinical care with impunity. Her minion land pirates will plunder it, as a Mafia clan takes over a business. When they have exhausted plundering its assets, they burn it down to collect the insurance. The sole hope of clinical care is the Hilarious Law of Political Irony applies to this feminist extremist, mass murderer of the unborn, party thrower for Dr. Death of 60,000 unborn babies (after a $120,000 contribution from the butcher), Governor Kathleen Sebelius. Once she starts her plunder and destruction, doctors will have to fight back.

I predict they will fail at all airtight rigged, legal means.

Legal Scholars Call for Term Limits on Supreme Court

The life time appointment was one of the big three mistakes made by the god like founding fathers in the Consitution. In their defense, it would be another 100 years before the clinical description of Alzheimer dementia. The idea of a dementocracy is not appropriate in our time.

If the term limit is to be changed by a Constitutional amendment, the opportunity should be taken to also exclude anyone who has passed 1L from serving on any appellate bench in the No evidence exists to support the exclusivity of lawyers. The senseless, mind boggling decisions are res ipsa loquitur evidence for excluding the lawyer. Putting puking, alcohol besotted bums from the gutter as Supreme Court Justices would result in an immediate upgrade in the logic, lawfulness, and clarity of Supreme Court appellate decisions.

While messing with the Supreme Court in the Constitution, the number of Justices should be mandated to be an even number, preferably in the hundreds. If the Court will unlawfully change laws, let it be more legislative in size. The even number would also eliminate the opprobious effects of those 5-4 decisions. It would make the court more conservative in the sense that tie votes let the lower court decision stand.

Will There Be an Increase in Lawyer Malpractice Claims?

I doubt this trend. It is nearly impossible to win a legal malpractice case. Say the odds of wining a single negligence trial is 50%. One must win two trials, show the usual elements of professional malpractice. Then prove that the original case would have been won, so the odds are 25%. If that takes place, the defendant will still claim the attorney judgment rule.

Now prove the ability to collect after winning both trials. Say, 50% again. So, the odds are 1 in 8 of winning, assuming strong evidence. The judge is a lawyer and is totally biased in favor of his campaign donors, mostly attorneys. So the 1 in 8 chance represents a marked overestimate of the chance of success, since sabotage of the plaintiff is ongoing the entire trial.

Cult Criminals on Cali Supreme Court Attack ER's. Patients Will Likely Die

Patients will die because nearby emergency rooms close from the defunding attack by the cult criminals on the California Supreme Court. There is full moral and intellectual justification for the bereaved families to bring street justice against these cult criminals. As they kill, they must be forced to resign, impeached, or driven out of town by the bereaved survivors.

Lawyer Hierarchy Punishes One of Its Own. She Dared to Impose Justice on a Rent Seeking Lawyer Client

The crime of this judge, Sharon Keller of Texas, was to interrupt lawyer employment so that justice could begin. She did not follow procedures that delay justice so that lawyers can get make work jobs. No one said, she executed an innocent person. She decreased lawyer employment. For that, she has to be punished, and other judges have to be deterred.

This is raw rent seeking by the criminal lover lawyer hierarchy. These threats to the safety of the community must resign, get impeached, or get street justice to drive them out of town. Her trial itself will generate jobs for lots of lawyers.

I suggest generating more lawyer jobs by filing ethics complaints against the lawyers who complained, and against the judge that indulged these criminal lover rent seeking threats to the safety of the public. When the Master is named, file complaints against him, and use every sentence he utters as a violation of judicial ethics, since the case has an improper motive, vengeance by criminal lover defense lawyers.

Truth Is Not a Defense in Defamation

Not in Massachusetts, when it comes to a defendant with deep pockets, and a Republican owner. If malice includes intent to harm, lawyer gotcha may get covered by this decision if upheld.

Reply to the Coming Swarm by John Arquilla

This was in the NY Times, a propaganda organ of treason. Arquilla describes a Mombai style of simultaneous attacks by terrorists, the swarm. He proposes starting an infrastructure of small police posts, with a small number of people, with less training than elite forces.

How about this instead, growth of government promoter, left wing ideologue?

All citizens carry weapons.

All pro-criminal, lawyer, sick, traitor doctrines get repealed. There is a duty to kill criminals. There is immunity for the citizen killing the criminal. There are fines for failing to fire a weapon at a criminal.

The lawyer loves the terrorist and caused 9/11. The 9/11 Commission covered up the role of the lawyer in its cause. The lawyer prevents the total eradication of the enemies of the United States. The lawyer puts lawyer jobs above the safety of the public. The lawyer put a wall between the CIA and the FBI. All political correctness is case and promotes lawyer jobs. The taking of three airliners would have been less likely in another country. The American male has been lawyerized, and only certain death will unleash his heroism. The lawyer is embedded with our male warriors. This traitor has cancelled tactical decisions down to the squad level. One prevented the firing of a rocket from a drone at the limousive Mullad Omar. It goes on.

The point is that the lawyer rent seeking enterprise must be stopped if we are ever to be even a little safer.

Lawyer Gotcha to Free Hundreds of Vicious Thugs

Yet the perps, the judges, remain immune, based on Dennis v Sparks, cited in the article. Judges should not worry about litigation. Well the welder's work is far more important than that of the judge, a lazy, worthless, government hack. Shouldn't the welder get immunity. How can judges deal themselves immunity, when that is a legislative act? A welder sits of the bench, he gives all welders in the country legal immunity for any welding within the scope of welding duties. People would scream, conflict of interest.

Federal Prosecutors Held in Contempt for Discovery Beef

Always, seek sanctions for the adverse lawyers. No cult criminal thug should live a minute with certainty about his personal future. The defense attorney cannot be trusted to fulfill this aspiration. The defense attorney can replace the client in a minute if fired. If the adverse lawyer is taken out of action, the job of the defense attorney may be lost. It should become a standard of due professional care to parse every word and to find a rule broken by the other side's lawyer. Because of the infinity of rules, no case should go without attack on the adverse lawyer.

It should begin with e-discovery of the adverse lawyer's computers for improper motive. If the judge makes an adverse ruling, his computers should get a forensic examination for bias.

There is a guideline maker duty to do no harm. These cult indoctrinators are generating self-dealing, anti-scientific, garbage guidelines. Any use by a judge represents insurrection against Article I Section 1 of the US Constitution and its state equivalents.


Hat Tip to Prof. Chris Robinette.

Before Embezzling, File an EEOC or Human Resources Harassment Complaint. Supreme Court Calls Firing Retaliation

The employee never complained before the witch hunt. Once it began, she reported inappropriate behavior by a responsible officer. She was accused of embezzlement. The trial court found for the defendant that she sued for retaliation.

If I were an office embezzler, I would file multiple complaints with the EEOC, and with Human Resources department. I might make more money from the retaliation lawsuit than from the embezzlement.

There was no dissent. The vote shows that lawyer rent seeking, job generation trump all political ideology on the Supreme Court.

Potential Unintended Benefit of Economic Crisis

There is no remedy but to increase productivity to make more value, to generate taxes, and to pay off the debt. Chinese productivity is from the technology of 50 years ago, and will run out of ability to lend. Japan has a sclerotic Commie government that failed to end its economic downturn in the 1990's. Europe? Smart, educated people who will never give up their 6 weeks off at the spa, their 9 to 5, their 1.5 hour lunches. Lazy, Commie twits.

That leaves the US. What can be done to increase productivity?

1) Mercilessly crush the obstacles. The biggest obstacle are the Democrat, the lawyer, the Commie. These are synonyms. Pass laws excluding anyone who has passed 1L from all benches, all legislative seats, all policy positions in the Executive. Laws exclude the convicted felon, who is far less damaging than the lawyer.

2) The rate of R & D should be 20% of the GDP, not 2%. That is the fraction for high tech industries. Become a high tech economy, especially in life sciences. Once recognized, a slow increase in that fraction can be pushed.

3) Corporal punishment returns to school, and lawyer entitled parents are crushed, as are lazy, incompetent, anti-learning teachers unions. End all higher budgets for special ed. Put the money into productive students. High tuition for disabled kids is from garbage science, has no merit, and is a total waste. Force education on everyone. Brook no resistance to school discipline. The idea of uneducated, full time Roman Orgy lifestyle kids, parasites, enabled by the vile lawyer traitor on the bench, is over. If kids fail to improve standardized scores for two years, have the principal be fired, as a regulation. Any principal caught cheating goes to prison.

Benefit from the bailouts, by enacting controls on the lawyer profession, or just keep going downhill. Live as they do in South America or Europe, like pigs.

Law in Utter Failure: Torts as a Lawyer Bunco Operation

The purposes of torts include deterrence of bad conduct, increasing the safety of products by making dangerousness more expensive, decreasing the need for rigid, obsolete regulation, compensation of injured people, and to prevent violent retaliation by injured parties or their families. Instead, failure is its only fruit.

1) All money comes from the general public.

2) All safety improvements have come from technology development. None has ever come from a torts action.

3) The standard of prudent behavior is set by a fictional character. No juror is allowed to consider the ideals or behavior of a real person. The reason for this reliance is to make prudence an objective standard. Instead, this ridiculous doctrine of using fictional characters as arbiters is to impose the subjective bias of the judge in the case on the defendant.

4) At the core of negligence is duty. Duty is determined by the foreseeability of harm. There is foreseeability. The sun has risen in the East and set in the West millions of times without exception. The foreseeability of an accident is rarer, more like a that of a winning lottery ticket, true even in the most dangerous situations. The burden of proof in a civil trial is the preponderance of the evidence. That means the evidence makes it a minimum of 51% likely that the plaintiff is right. That is a natural landmark for foreseeability. However, defendants lose cases in which the rate of injury is in the foreseeability range of lottery winning numbers. These verdicts violate the procedural due process of the civil defendant. Worse, across cases, the foreseeabilities have very wide ranges, as do the damages for equivalent injuries.

5) Torts remains mired in Medieval misconceptions, and espouses the chain of causation. That chain may be interrupted by an unforeseen, unintended factor. That breaks the chain of legal causation and ends the case. Modern catastrophe analysis focuses on the clustering of factors. There may be 12 in a catastrophe, all coming together in an instant. If one of them is prevented or fails to take place, the entire catastrophe may not take place at all. So all defendants are being scapegoated for catastrophes that took place after 12 other factors, parties, and happenstances clustered randomly sometimes. This scapegoating violates the procedural due process rights of civil defendants to a fair hearing.

6) Most of the cost of torts is consumed by providers. Victims see little money. Even if the verdict is large, it may be for future care, and the medical profession consumes it.

7) There is no price for permanent, devastating injuries. No one would trade such an injury for any amount of money. Most people would be willing to spend an infinite amount of other people's money to avoid one for themselves. There is no market for injuries to price one. The verdict is payment for something that does not exist. It is like selling stock in a company that does not exist. Such sellers would go to prison, as a rule. The range of payment is wide for equivalent or for the same injury. This wide range violates the procedural due process rights of the civil defendant.

Law in Utter Failure: False Convictions from Incompetence

The report.

http://www.nysba.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=23959

The website for the study.

http://www.nysba.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=21310

Although the field of the law is called evidence, its meaning is not the same as the ordinary meaning. The core of scientific evidence is repeatability. Repeatability of outcomes across cases also defines justice. So the law and science have superficial similarity in values. However, the power and immunities of the law have allowed it to remain mired in Medieval notions of evidence. The rules of evidence should be rewritten to exclude any anti-scientific unvalidated evidence. The limits of memory should be acknowledge. Lawyer gotcha games should be excluded. And physical evidence should be required in any case involving subjective reports.

Until the Rules of Evidence can be written by scientific people, and not by rent seeking, Scholasticism indoctrinated lawyers in failure, the report represents a checklist of rebuttal of incompetent evidence gathering.

Not only is the lawyer allowing massive criminal victimization, especially of minority populations, but he is convicting innocent people.

All prosecutor, all judge, and all expert immunities should be ended by statute. The victims of the lawyer and of his client, the criminal should be able to get compensated for injuries from their carelessness.

New Book on 1L's Under Stress

I have not read the book of Prof. McClurg. I would be shocked if he told the truth about 1L. The lawyer profession is organized as a criminal cult enterprise. Its central tenets are supernatural and derived from Medieval church Scholasticist concepts. These are ridiculous to the modern ear.

So indoctrination is the only way to force modern students to accept this Medieval garbage. Not only is this anti-scientific garbage, all the central doctrines violate the Establishment Clause by their origin from a church. The IRAC is from Peter Abelard and Alexander of Hales, monks of the High Middle Ages. Worst, they were French.

So, a culture of terror is set up, with intimidation of students by humiliation. It makes them too afraid for their futures to question the content.

Next, the content is gibberish in massive quantity. To do well or to even pass the student must study gibberish about 80 hours a week. This workload serves to isolate students from normal people, and outside activities. The risk is that too much outside contact may serve to bring the content into question.

Other criminal cult elements include confession, self-criticism, a hierarchical structure, draconian discipline not for lawyers injuring the public, but for lawyers posing the slightest challenge to the lawyer hierarchy, reordering the thinking and the language of already very intelligent people, alienating them from others.

This article discusses the Watchtower people, but apply to law school. See what can be easily recognized.

http://www.freeminds.org/psych/beel.htm

I invite 1L to run down this summary chart of the criteria defining various forms of mind control. The column most congruent with law school, I think, is indoctrination.

http://www.rickross.com/reference/cults_in_our_midst/cults_in_our_midst2.html

Rough indoctrination methods best explains the stress of 1L. However, this indoctrination is so good, no one knows it has even taken place. After passing 1L, intelligent, modern students come to believe minds may be read, the future of rare accidents forecast, the standards of conduct of a fictional character, that 12 strangers off the street, excluding anyone with any knowledge, can detect the truth by their gut feelings. Lastly, the real meaning of the word, reasonable, has been covered up. It means, in accordance with the New Testament. It stands apart from logic, intellect, that were misled by the Fall from the Garden of Eden, and by deadly sins.

Opposing Experts Preclude Subject Matter Jurisdiction and Violate the Right to a Fair Hearing

If opposing experts testify in good faith, then a scientific controversy exists. It cannot get resolved by rhetoric, and jury preference. It may only be resolved by additional scientific evidence from validated research. So only cases that are within the knowledge of the jury, or have expert support for only one side are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the court. Any case allowing a debate between opposing experts violates the procedural due process right of the civil defendant to a fair hearing.

If a criminal case depends on expert testimony, and has an opposing expert, it is impossible to meet the "beyond a reasonable doubt" burden of proof. If both experts are testifying in good faith, and the standard is to be have 80% plus certainty, the jury has no way to judge the testimonies, except by the likability of the expert. Such an effect violates defendant's due process right to a fair trial.

Indicia of Unlawful Church Origin of Common Law

And, thus a violation of the Establishment Clause.

1) Latin phrases (e.g. mens rea, actus reus, bone fide, causa mortis, certiori, corpus delecti, de facto, de jure, de minimus, de novo, dicta, en banc, ex parte, ex relatione, forum non conveniens, habeus corpus, in camera, in forma pauperis, infra, in loco parentis, in pari delecto, in pari materia, in personam, in rem, inter vivos, ipso facto, jus, lex loci, malum in se, malum prohibitum, mandamus, modus operandi, nexus, nisi prius, per curiam, per se, per stirpes, primae facie, pro se, pro tanto, quantum meruit, quasi, quid pro quo, res gestae, res ipsa loquitur, res judicata, respondit superior, stare decisis, ultra vires).

2) Judge's high bench. This is St. Dominic Presiding at an Auto a Fe, from a 1490 painting by Pedro Berruguette. Aside from the high bench, one notes the 7 "justices, and one chief justice," to confer the appearance of consensus and accepted virtue on the hateful decisions.




3) Court building and courtroom architecture resembling a church.



4) Gavel.

5) Judges' robes.



6) Stentorian, pretentious, self-important tones of the judge, to scare the peasants. Most judges are has been politicians who lost an election or lawyers failed in private practice. Most are buffoons.

7) Rising of assembly upon entrance of judge.

8) Oaths.

9) Supernatural core doctrines, including, mind reading (intent), future forecasting (foreseeability), truth detection by the use of gut feelings (of juries), dependence on a fictional character for standard of conduct (allowing judge self-interest and judge bias to set conduct for all). The biggest violation is any use of the word, reasonable, which means, in accordance with the New Testament.

10) Inquisition like business plan. The Inquisition did go after heretics, Jews, Moslems. Most had assets that were seized and given to the Church. There was an intense conflict of interest in the Inquisition and in lawyer torts.

11) Parsing documents word for word.

12) The formats of the Bar exam and of legal briefs.

13) Sovereign legal immunity which can only be logically justified by the King's speaking with the Word of God, otherwise is impossible. For example, the Prussian Emperor could be sued by his plumber for not paying a bill. The Imperial Attorney would appear to defend the case. Sovereign immunity was invented by the French monks that administered England.

14) The legal analysis of crime. The content of the analysis of crime came from the catechism. In this Wikipedia description of mortal sin in the Catholic Church, one can see great similarities to criminal law analysis. There are "elements." The harm is grave. There is no ignorance of the law in the conscience. There is intent. There are mitigating circumstances, such as insanity.

15) The adversarial system of arriving at a verdict. Disputation was a method of Scholasticism to arrive at a reliable conclusion. The lawyer of the 13th Century picked up that method for their needs.
