"Appeals court decides that some things are best left unsaid. And among those things are calling your judge the c-word. Just so we're clear, even though this was over Zoom, we're not talking about "cat." After trying to bully Michigan Law Review through litigation, the anti-DEI publicity hounds at FASORP have dropped the case. We manage to talk about AI and Baudrillard in a single episode."
"Just so we're clear, even though this was over Zoom, we're not talking about "cat." After trying to bully Michigan Law Review through litigation, the anti-DEI publicity hounds at FASORP have dropped the case. And with Trump inching closer to declaring martial law in America's cities, right-leaning legal analysts have started the process of normalizing abuse of the Insurrection Act by pretending its strict limits are really just open-ended invitations and if anyone's to blame for Donald Trump's authoritarianism, it's really Joe Biden."
An appeals court reinforced limits on abusive speech toward judges, indicating that calling a judge the 'c-word' crosses acceptable lines even in a Zoom context. Anti-DEI activists connected to FASORP dropped their lawsuit against Michigan Law Review after pursuing litigation aimed at exerting pressure on the publication. Right-leaning legal analysts have begun to reinterpret the Insurrection Act's strict statutory limits as malleable, framing those constraints as open invitations rather than clear legal boundaries. That reframing risks normalizing potential abuse of emergency powers and redirects blame for rising authoritarian tactics toward political opponents. Conversations also link artificial intelligence to Baudrillard's cultural theory, juxtaposing technological issues with questions about simulation and representation.
