Well, MLB approved the move. Courts kicking the “teachers” in their legal teeth and looks like the A’s are in fact coming to Las Vegas.

Can we stop bitching about it already?

Oh yeah. . . .First.

Still many hurdles for the A’s to clear before we can conclude that the “A’s are in fact coming to Las Vegas.”

Out of Corridor Approved by City Council
Funny, LV Municipal Court Judges has been issuing stay out of the Fremont Corridor orders for years. Surprising that people act like this is something new.

Wait, no signature verification, no ballot verification, no paper trail, but let’s pursue “false electors” for what? In a state awash in crime and other issues, DAGs have the resources and time for this? To what end?

It’s called election interference.

No. It’s about keeping your party in power. Not law, not justice, just politics.

“But what about all the made up issues? Don’t those mean we should ignore the actual violations of the law”? Great logic.

How about investigating insurance companies that charge obscene monthly fees, pay doctors next to nothing, and refuse to cover even basic services? Just got off the phone with my doctor who not only will not take my insurance but will not even let me cash pay because of some contractual exit clause that penalizes him for treating former insureds. Meanwhile, insurance executives roll in the money. Daylight theft.

This is one of my favorite dumb arguments. “This doesn’t solve problems B, C, or D, so we shouldn’t do this thing to solve problem A!”

It’s quite astonishing that the United States of America, one of the most powerful nations in the world, struggles to hold streamlined elections. We’ve gone from having election results on the same night or in the early hours to prolonged counts of sketchy ballots behind closed doors, with the winner remaining unknown for days on end. And these types of rinky-dink elections with long “third world” delays are being normalized, but it’s far from normal, and we all know it.

It seems there are less comments on this new blog. Does anyone track that or is there a reason?

Oh I see. I actually like the new interface and hope that it doesn’t have anything to do with that.

I don’t see how. It clearly states she is a founding member of the firm who has moved on the serve the community from the bench. That she shares her last name with her husband shouldn’t matter. If the two legends of the law, Phil Aurbach and Terry Coffing, had ascended to the bench, would MAC have to rename itself Higbee Law?

In fairness, a clever lawyer could argue otherwise, but it appears the spirit of the rule is abided by a true and correct factual statement of her history with the firm and the use of her husband’s name.

The answer is absolutely yes that MAC would have become Marquis Higbee or Marquis LLP. When an attorney ascends to the bench, their name is removed from the firm because of the possibility of confusion or endorsement.

The difference in the Rocheleau case is that the firm does business under a trade name so there is no confusion from the firm name that Mrs. Rocheleau is continuing to practice with Rock.

But isn’t listing Stacy as a part of the team of attorneys for Right Lawyers create that confusion. Are you hiring Rock because of Rock or because you get judicial ties

Have you met Rock? I’d hire him because he is outstanding in every way. Stacy is a decent judge but Rock is, well, a Rockstar.
