bros, if it were up to me, I would literally have fbi agents stationed full time in front of the LA mayors office just to fuck with Karen Bass. Just old fashioned pressure, and if I couldn’t come up with grounds to prosecute I’d just satisfy myself with giving her ulcers and making her life not worth living.
If it were up to me I would withhold any federal funds to California and send out liaison officers to count the votes and eject the current election employees. I’m so tired of hearing we need to abandon cities because of deep fraud and corruption. JD Vance get your ass out there and shut down this crap.
 
In a case about patent infringement (these cases are interchangeably applied to copyright ones, and most of the court's citations here were to copyright cases) of a drug, the Supreme Court ruled that even when a generic drug maker know or suspect that their product "will be put to infringing use", there can be no liability without direct encouragement. Where a generic drug maker promotes their product as a cheaper copy of the patented product, even in violation of applicable regulatory statutes, it is still not enough to "establish that [the generic drug company] took any affirmative steps to encourage infringement."

Additionally, the Supreme Court tightened the pleading standard for these sorts of cases. No longer is it enough to merely "allege . . . a plausible chain of events through which statements" could be considered inducement at the 12(b)(6) level. Additionally, "inducement cannot be based only on vague language combined with speculation about how [others]
may act.” However, implicit inducement is still possible, with the court rejecting the necessity of an "express" inducement.

 
A lot of anti jeet candidates are winning lately and a certified total jeet death endorser it's music to my ears.
It's good that they are. It shows a way forward without being a complete sperg like Fishback of Putsch have been acting. The tide is turning, not as fast as maybe I'd like, but this problem built up over time and will take time to overcome.
 
Not to kiss your ass but I do like these legal updates. They’re not fun or even legible to most people, so props to you for doing the work.
To be fair, I only post updates which I personally think are interesting, unless I am waiting for one specific decision.
 
It's pretty insane how former Soros hatchet man and lifelong homosexual, Scott Besant, is one of the most impressive men alive today. Guy literally threw hands at Elon Musk, in the White House, when Musk was being a punk. Wild!
 
the madlad at it again
I love this goofy fucker so very very much
George Santos reported to prosecutors over suspicious Kalshi trades, AP source says


NEW YORK — A prediction market reported former U.S. Rep. George Santos to federal prosecutors after he boasted he'd be going to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address, then bet against his own attendance, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
