If a judge can sanction some lying DOJ lawyers in 2016 one wonders why they can’t do the same now?
Is it that the ethics classes would be over-subscribed or do they just no longer exist?
Re: No longer needed
Everything is a lie.
We stopped regulating corps long ago.
The only thing we catch is “if you think you are crazy, then you arnt” and 100 lawyers to disprove everything.
Man, Hurt Locker really was 15 years ago huh?
At least Hurt Locker can thank its lucky stars that it wasn’t Dallas Buyers Club. Now that was a movie that really took the copyright trolling name completely international, and made the judges realize that the entire enterprise was running on horseshit and chewing gum.
