Stephen T. Stone’s comment is not “biting.” It is ignorant. And it’s not funny. That so much of the TD community would think either is shocking.
Justice Thomas is an originalist. The original constitution provided for amendments. The constitution was amended to abolish slavery. So Justice Thomas being against slavery is wholly consistent with his jusrisprudence, not against it.
Disagree with Justice Thomas all you want. But to say that he should be a slave if he wants to be consistent in his thinking is disgusting and reprehensible. That TD would express this as an “editor’s choice” is beyond disappointing, Mike.
Maybe Mr. Dasilva will start going after those evil websites that post copyright notices in tiny font at the bottom of the page and include "Terms of Service" like this:

But be careful. That particular website specifically states that it reserves the right to change the terms:

Who knew there were people like this in the world?
Imagine what the historians will write about when describing say the mid 1900's to the mid 2000's and how much of that will actually be right?
Can't know that till we know who the winners are, right?
Thanks for clarifying your original comment. I hadn't clicked through to the article and therefore hadn't read the quote. Just doing my part.
TechDirt should have an annual "Streisand Effect" ceremony, complete with categories for "Best Animation" (for cases with fake defamation plaintiffs), "Best Effects" (for cases involving photoshopped court orders), and "Best Lawyer" (for the, er, "best").
The [injunction] order binds only the following who receive actual notice of it by personal service or otherwise:
(A) the parties;
(B) the parties’ officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys; and
(C) other persons who are in active concert or participation with anyone described in Rule 65(d)(2)(A) or (B).
On page 12, the magistrate uses that exact language. However, everything after the phrase "in addition" is outside the scope of the Court's authority to grant an injunction and should be rejected by the District Court.
What would you say is the distinction between a poor ruling and...oh, look, squirrel!
Don't change the subject. Your first comment is hilarious:
I don't mean to imply that the ruling involved is correct, or a good thing. But in regards to the function of the court, it is they who dictate our understanding of what a law means, not what we want them to understand it means.
We want them to dictate our understanding but we don't want them to understand it in the first place? As I wrote above, that's hilarious.
And the AC is right. Bad rulings are entirely the court's fault. But to go ahead and chase your squirrel anyway, bad laws are the legislature's fault. But they're not mutually exclusive. A court can issue a bad ruling on a bad law.
Kmart also should expect a lawsuit from Michael Jackson's estate, what with the one glove and all. And PETA/Naruto (relationship status: it's complicated) because all your bananas are belong to us.
Aside from the video of the traffic stop, the reporter’s voluminous FOIA request included requests on all past contacts we had with Mr. Martell; past contacts we had with the driver of the car from which the original traffic stop initiated and that Mr. Martell had run from; and other detailed information on witnesses or other parties in the case.
The request only is "voluminous" if the cops have had lots of past contacts, making this even more newsworthy. You mean you've had so many interactions, Chief, that it would be "voluminous" to compile them all? Is that what you trying to say?
Having fixed competition America's wireless industry with the stroke of a pen, Ajit Pal soon will be transferred to the Department of Defense, where he will topple the North Korean military with a press release. From there, Pai anticipates writing an op-ed that will bring peace to the Middle East by the end of the day. Finally, Pai plans to improve instantly the world economy through the deft use of a Hallmark card.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2) states:
On page 12, the magistrate uses that exact language. However, everything after the phrase "in addition" is outside the scope of the Court's authority to grant an injunction and should be rejected by the District Court.
