Demonstrative Evidence: Meet Jane Roe

http://demonstrativeevidence.blogspot.com/2009/02/meet-jane-roe.html

Sunday, February 15, 2009. I may be a month late to this party, but at first I dismissed it as an insignificant piece of bizarro non-news, the opposite of a human interest story. More of a human freakshow. A single mother of six, undergoes in vitro and has octuplets. The public reaction ran the gamut, the full spectrum of human emotions. At least the range between outrage. In the wake of this story there have been editorials. Calls to regulate the fertility industry. And now death threats. Be up in arms?

Friday, May 11, 2007. This is patently offensive. The Supreme Court of Washington. That was based in large part by DNA evidence obtained through absolutely appalling trickery. Even by cop standards. Trying to close a cold case, the police concocted a ruse to obtain the DNA- they sent the suspect a letter from a fictitious law firm, claiming that he was a class member in a (phony) class action. Naturally, he signed a few documents and licked an envelope. They got the DNA off the envelope.

Wednesday, May 14, 2008. I have registered my own domain - www.attorneycharlesthomas.com. With the hopes of getting a real practice up and running in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, I am trying to figure out how sync up all my services over there. Posted by Charles Thomas. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Demonstrative Evidence: Worst. CLE. Ever.

http://demonstrativeevidence.blogspot.com/2008/07/worst-cle-ever.html

Thursday, July 10, 2008. Worst CLE. Ever. I am at a CLE, Internet Law Update. This is the worst waste of time I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through. The speaker on Web 2.0 and the law clearly did not use or understand Web 2.0 technology. In fact, he only spoke about Second Life. Which he admitted he doesn't get. The legal issues in discussion are also a couple of years behind the times. I even look good in a suit. Seriously. Posted by Charles Thomas. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Friday, June 13, 2008. Probably the biggest case ever on the limits of Presidential power. Comes down this week, and the blawgosphere is agog. About what might have been on Judge Kozinski's personal web site. Better minds than mine are writing about the former, and the latter isn't worth writing about. Posted by Charles Thomas. Links to this post. Monday, June 09, 2008. Don't we have better things to do? For those who don't know, Max Hardcore. Is nom de pr0n. As a lawyer, I think the jurisdiction is weak...

Demonstrative Evidence: How to have a college football playoff system in four easy steps

http://demonstrativeevidence.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-have-college-football-playoff.html

Tuesday, January 06, 2009. How to have a college football playoff system in four easy steps. The infrequent blawgger returns to post about college football? Yeah - it's my blog. Deal. As it currently stands, and I am intentionally oversimplifying here, the college football championship is currently decided by consensus. The BCS. Except when it doesn't work. In 2003, USC. Of the national championship game. USC handled Michigan in the Rose Bowl. A 10-2 team and ranked number four in all polls and who had b...

Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Everything I hate about schools all wrapped into one. I hate the stupid decisions made by [EDIT: corrected typos]. School administrators, but this is egregious- to teach the kids of El Camino High in Oceanside, California that driving drunk has consequences, the school had police interrupt 20 classes and announce that 26 classmates had been killed in a massive DUI car wreck. The kids, understandably, became very upset, some becoming inconsolable. Posted by Charles Thomas.

http://demonstrativeevidence.blogspot.com/2008_06_29_archive.html

Sunday, June 29, 2008. Some thoughts on marriage, and the nature of rights. I had a thought earlier, and it was on the nature of rights- the right to act automatically includes the right not. To act. In certain contexts, it is easy to conceptualize: the right to free speech includes the right not to speak; the right to privacy includes the right to be open (ever more relevant in this age of internet oversharing. If marriage is a fundamental right, as SCOTUS held in Loving v. Virginia. And the laws barrin...

Thursday, May 22, 2008. So I'm a little late to this party. Words really matter, after all. I am still waiting for some state to step up and find that their marriage laws violate the Federal constitution, which would guaran-damn-tee that SCOTUS gets involved. I just hope it happens after President Obama gets to replace Scalia and Thomas. Posted by Charles Thomas. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
