I agree. The law authorizes only the attorney general to crack the whip, and limits that prosecutorial discretion with an blanket affirmative defense. Who wins here?

This is toothless. Without a private cause of action available to the consumer, prosecutorial discretion means offenses will go unpunished based on political winds.

The author justifies his desire to regulate facebook with election outcomes he finds personally unpalatable. (u mad, bro?) Yes, visceral content has high engagement. But is this really new information? How can you recommend content regulat

>Getting to the merits is the point but the point is often lost in the game of the process. True statement? True, but you're assuming that the process and the merits are totally distinct (in fact, my own comment reads that way ;]).

This is clever! I see at least one flaw, though: what if the two sides disagree about the amount of money that should be contributed to the fund?

>We do not have equal access to our judicial system in the United States. I agree, but I think we can be more specific. Criminals (or those accused of a crime) are constitutionally guaranteed an attorney. Civil plaintiffs/defendant

Corporations are people. They are taxed like people, they break laws like people, and they own property like people. They just can't vote.

This isn't a strong argument to me. Student debt might not be collateralized the same way mortgages are (i.e. there's no house to repossess), but student debt is still an asset on a bank's book. If anything, student debt de

Most contracts provide for attorneys fees to be paid by the losing party. I much prefer the "pay your own way unless otherwise agreed" method to the English rule. Beyond the contractual method of handling attorneys fees, civil pr

This seems overly broad. Can you explain where you got this information, or in what context you think it applies? As an attorney with litigation experience, this is extremely puzzling. All lawsuits are different, and simply being named as

I guess I should have explained more what I meant by "justice." In your quoted language, I intended it to mean justice as handed down by a person in a black robe. Clients are already lapping up automated legal services (wills, co

"we're going to have to rise up against our evil government!" This stance, and your criticism of it, miss the mark. In my view, legitimizing private gun ownership should not be based on whose are bigger, or "who would w
