80 plus posts in the last 12 hours.

I did all kinds of things. Started out doing securities litigation, then spent some time as a federal attorney. Left the federal government but came back after 9/11 and did national security type work. You hear about people who signed up for the military after 9/11; I guess at my age by then this was the next best thing. Then spent most of the rest of my career in that type of work, generally national security related work (including plenty of immigration; again, the post-9/11 thing) and appeals work. Now I just pick up private work when I feel like it or when I think there's an important issue.

If they get more than 50 games out of Norris I'll be surprised and it remains to be seen if the new defenders are actually better or just different.

I get very confused when I watch documentaries about US criminal cases. I think I kind of understand the jury system, although I would like to know how much input the judge gives the jury prior to the deliberation. I guess it varies. Having heard the things the laymen judges sometimes say during deliberation I would be very worried letting them deliberate on their own. What really confuses me is the appeal system in the US. In Sweden you can always appeal to the court of appeal. And they will try every criminal case unless the sentence was just a fine (or if someone is found not guilty and the sentence would have been just a fine). It seem to vary in the US. Different in different states maybe? All in all the legal systems are very different. Which is interesting but confusing. What kind of law do you practise as a lawyer?

Bump for tonight's all time record shlit posting barrage performed by a previously banned poster.

Thanks. Interesting system from our U.S. perspective. I've long lobbied for something like your "layman judges" - in other words, ordinary citizens who apply, are given some training, and then sit on juries for a period of time. I'm a semi-retired lawyer who recently served on a jury. (Don't ask why they picked me; I have no clue.) Chaotic as our system is (and depressing as I watched people scramble and make up laugh-out-loud excuses to be excused from serving), in the end the 11 others with me took their job seriously and I thought we reached a fair and considered verdict.

Never on a jury. Do not have a jury system in Sweden (with a very rare exception). But I have tried hundreds of criminal cases as a judge. In Sweden at district courts criminal cases are normally tried by a legally trained judge and three laymen judges. Each vote has the same "value". If it is a split (2-2) there will be no conviction. However at least 90-95 percent of the time the laymen will agree with the legally trained judge. And if not the court of appeal will usually change the verdict. In the court of appeal there are three legally trained judges and two laymen judges. In the Supreme court there are no laymen judges. But they rarely try cases. The laymen judges are elected four years at a time. So no risk of getting called up if you do not want to "serve". Legally trained judges are appointed "for life".

To be fair to the mods, Billstime eventually was banned too, but it is now back with this new account doing the same crap that got it banned before x10.

You realize this guy wouldn’t be freaking out if he weren’t actually exposed.

@phypon is @BillsFanNC

He literally begged me to delete the thread because he was afraid that SDS would see it and he would get banned. I didn't want to delete it, but I had a moment and felt bad for him. That was clearly a mistake. After begging me to delete the thread I put out the stipulation that if he cleaned up his act and agreed to tone things down with his responses to other posters I would delete the thread. He agreed, and as you can see, he lied and continued his trolling and disruptive behavior. I wish I screenshotted his posts before I deleted the thread.

Another gem filled with @BillsFanNC bots.

Everyone knows you're a ***** poster - that's why you're freaking out for being exposed as @phypon.

⬆️ phypon's words below talking about the waste of skin above... Notice that phypon was the one who eventually got TO'd for flying too close to the mod sun....

Yup - same guy.

Everyone knows the only ***** positing here is you.
