Yet Gruber's been gleefully declaring Gaby Darbershire, who's an attorney with years of experience in corporate law, a hack for the last few days now.

- tjogin 16y agoWe'll see won't we? I'm betting Gruber's right. Being a journalist doesn't mean you are allowed to buy stolen goods.
- mbreese 16y agoCorporate law doesn't necessarily equate with CA criminal law. Also, I know she's a member of the bar of England and Wales, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything to the CA criminal justice system. Then again, I too am not a lawyer.
- commandar 16y agoFair enough, I'm largely talking about Gruber doing things like comparing Darbyshire unfavorably to a drunk character from the Simpsons when the analysis I've seen from people who actually practice and teach law for a living has been far more moderate in its assessment of whether Gawker's arguments will fly or not. http://twitter.com/gruber/status/12909814399 http://twitter.com/gruber/status/12909814399
- pyre 16y agoI think that point is that Gaby is a lawyer in the UK, not licensed to practice in the US, and probably not well-versed in California's state laws. So for her to give legal advice about how to not commit a crime in California is a little disingenuous.
