        I don’t think I was more disgusted by Donald trump, then when he apologized to Brett Kavanaugh for the allegations, and stated, falsely, that an investigation was done and his name was cleared. When no such thing happened.

        Again it’s amazing, the world would be such a wonderful place if the same standards the poor were required to live up to we’re all so the standards that the rich were required to live up to.

        If during a job interview, I cried and started ranting incoherently about how much I love beer, they would likely have me escorted out by security and be left wondering if they should call the cops.

      Actually this is one of the instances where America law proves that Justice is at least somewhat of a concept, I mean holy shit we’re not Japan. No seriously look at how they do Court over in the Land of the Rising Sun.

      Japan has a 99.9% conviction rate, how many of you people knew that the Phoenix Wright series was actually intended as a scathing critique of the legal system of the country it was made in?

      If something in a contract is in violation of state or federal law, then that provision of the contract is null and void.

      There have been many instances of companies saying that you don’t have any rights because you sign them away in the licensing agreement, only for a judge to turn around and call bullshit. The preceddnt is basically cemented in stone at this point.

        Let’s recall that the SCOTUS overturned a major precedent not so long ago. Precedent is not rock solid anymore.

          There’s a difference between 1 or 2 cases of precedent and hundreds or thousands of cases.

          A friend of mine once said, that some things are too good to be true, but fortunately there are also some things that are too bad to be true.

          Easy, just read the following exchange

          “Sir that’s against the law!”

          “Just do it! If someone tries to sue let legal worry about it!”
