The House can't technically do any work in the absence of a quorum of the members. Most of the time there's like 5 people in there and they just "presume" a quorum is present, but if something they don't like happens, all a Rep has to do to stop it is get the right to speak and note the lack of a quorum to force a quorum call.


Gotcha. Ty for info. Today was not a wasted day for me then.

Oh no, I've also been tossed for (presumably) my JD as well. Funnily enough, at all three stages of my career: law student, judicial clerk, and practicing attorney. All my voir dire questionings have ended at the "and what do you do for a living?" stage. Funny enough, the attorney at my second voir dire was a classmate of my judge, so she asked me to tell my judge she said hi.

Unless if I was really confident in both my case and the JD juror, I sure as hell would never let anyone with a JD on a jury if I still had the peremptory challenges to spare. Too much of a risk for taking control of deliberations. That said, I don't know what the strike count was looking like, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was strategic by the state. New Yorker + JD may be a good combo in this situation.

I am strangely relieved to hear I am not the only one! I actually get called for jury duty a fair amount, and I was starting to get insulted. In all seriousness, I always avoided JDs on my juries too back when I did jury trials.

Your story about your judge is also a great illustration about how small the legal community is everywhere. Like I said in the post I made, the lawyer who kicked me off last time sat next to me in Torts. As soon as he saw me he cracked up, shook his head and wagged his finger at me. Later that week we caught up over a pleasant lunch!

I am beyond shocked that the most spoiled-rotten American citizen currently living was under the false impression that he had unlimited chances to get his way.

You do in fact have unlimited dismissals if you can show cause. The peremptory dismissals were only for no cause. It wouldn't be possible to hold any trial ever with unlimited peremptory dismissals because the defense could just dismiss literally everyone until the end of time.

Thanks. Wow. This guy was so far down the rabbit hole. It's both sad and disturbing. I wonder why he picked the Trump trials as his last hurrah? He's only going to become a footnote as Trump and the MAGAs steal whatever spotlight he was trying to make for himself.

Sounds about right, mentally stable people don't tend to attempt suicide.

Sounds like a sovereign citizen, only one that doesn't like Trump. They spout all manner of nonsensical dumbassery about how the United States federal government is a multinational corporation or a ponzi scheme or something along that line.

I think he was arrested.

Also, sic is from a Latin phrase "sic erat scriptum" pretty much meaning "how it was written"

I've heard it explained as "said in context", which I guess is a modern version of what you said.

"Truth", "accuracy", and "objectivity" are cornerstones of journalism ethics. Journalists are encouraged to maintain a degree of detachment from the religions, groups, or countries they are associated with, in order to minimize potential biases in their reporting.

How it is possible to report truth about the Republican Party without appearing biased?

Inane trivialities like "the word 'republican' has 10 letters", "Republicans say X, Democrats say Y" etc. don't count.

He's quite insistent that the POTUS needs to function as a king above reproach in order to even function at all.

Really shows you what he thinks of the position.
