The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yeah, basically breaking the law. Filing motions is legit, even if sometimes frivolous. Sometimes just to delay (which I never got the point of...unless they aren't ready to go to trial, but then you just tell the judge that).

Well, Sano wasn't talking breaking the law, just the media show which Habba seems willing to participate in. Trump is behaving as if he already lost, and is just going for the show now. One set of attorneys is filing (objections?) based on looks given by a clerk because that doesn't show up in the transcript.

If the law is against you argue the facts, if the facts are against you argue the law. In T's case any delay is seen as beneficial because all these cases run into each other.

The former attorneys filed legions of frivolous lawsuits, many of which had no supporting evidence, and broke the law like Giuliani. I don't see any exceptional lawyering on T's side so far. We're just up against the time grind.
