Yes. Rudy especially lacked basic understanding of the most barebones concepts and was just winging it.
B-b-but a certain other video game Forum told me that, and I quote, "The left has tried to make a mockery of Rudy but they forget that America's Mayor is one of the best prosecutorial legal minds in recent history."
Surely the frankfurt server raid will make sure Biden ends up in prison any day now, right?
Fucking LOL
My SO is a 3rd year law student. The stuff that Rudy struggled with is stuff she had in class as a 1L.
LOL, someone actually said this?
It's hard to clarify his positions when he was basically throwing every word he knew around that made no legal sense and then couldn't articulate his legal reasons when asked.
But, you could follow this tweet thread for the general summary:
So the general vibe I'm getting here is that literal Lionel fucking Hutz would be a better lawyer than this guy
Lol, I thought as much. I didn't want to go in on things I don't understand, but shit wasn't making any logical sense, even minus the legal terms.

Much appreciated.
I'm trying to find clarification on some claim about a change made in a law by a legislature or someone who they claim cannot make said changes to the law?
Possibly involving curing ballots. I also heard something mentioned about the Constitution and differing laws?
I know they're also saying that they didn't have observers or some s*** at certain locations.
That should be a straight yes or no, true or false type answer.
I'm kind of going off bits and pieces, hence why I'm trying to find an actual lawyer or someone with more knowledge explaining what is actually being claimed and how they are true or false, etc.
So can anyone square the circle between the Rudy G we saw today and the one we saw in the 80s breaking the mob.
Because honestly... I'm seriously starting to believe that the old Rudy died, and this guy is just a pale imitation.

For starters, he's pretty clearly had a major mental decline since then. I believe his daughter has said as much.
- This was in reference to the Secretary of State having sent out an email providing guidance for counties entering ballots onto a website that needed to be cured so that those people could come in and vote using a provisional ballot. They argued that she effectively changed state election law by doing this (question mark?)
- The crux of their argument is that, based on the said guidance, some counties did it while others did not, and thus they have two people whose votes did not count and they were in counties that did not, so it was 'unfair' to these two people.
- Not that there weren't observers, but that their observers couldn't get close enough.
I think that's accurate, based on listening to it. Gulliani threw out a bunch of other random claims, too, that weren't in the complaint.
I think what you're referring to is the fact red counties didn't allow voters to cure (law term meaning to fix errors) their ballots while blue counties did so they want the blue counties to throw the ballots out but the judge said shouldn't you be suing the red counties for not allowing their votes to be fixed and he's like no all votes should be thrown out that needed curing.
Very much appreciated. That clarifies quite a bit and gives a better context to things.
Thank you, this is not one of the positions I was familiar with so I appreciate it.
Vinny had hard evidence, which was found by Mona(Marisa Tomei).
She took the picture. He dismissed it as worthless until he actually looked at them. He then recognized what it was and then called her to testify.
Nope, because as pointed out, Vinny is actually a competent attorney. My Cousin Vinny is actually pretty factual when it comes to courtroom proceedings and trial prep, barring some licenses. It's why many attorneys will say it's probably the most accurate legal film.
Only way to listen was to call a phone number and listen in but it was two phone numbers with 4000 max listeners per number, so one of the lucky ERA users that got in streamed it over Twitch. Maybe they have a VOD of their stream. Other wise we'll have to read the transcript.
I guess in my yout I didn't realize or over time I forgot that Vinny saw the answer, but let her self discover on the stand.
I love this movie and don't get me wrong, Marisa Tomei is a beautiful woman, but Mona's fuck you attitude and car knowledge is the real attraction.

I need to watch this again, but I just watched the biological clock is ticking scene and she says you promised we would get married after you won your first case. It's been 10 years at this point. Vinny is a terrible lawyer.
Vinny had to take the bar like 10 times, that's why it took so long for him to win his first case. He couldn't practice. The movie is his actual first case.
OMG I forgot almost the entire movie then. Time for a re-watch.
Oh....oh my.
This is whack. Not wiggity whack. Just the regular kind.

I think that case is his first case though, he just couldn't pass the tests until his sixth time, iirc.
Isn't it heavily implied (if not made pretty clear) that he never actually passed the bar, hence the running joke about the judge not being able to find any information about him when he calls the clerk in NY?
What was Vinny's motivation for lying to Judge Haller?
In the movie My Cousin Vinny, there is a scene in which Vinny lies about his "successful" legal career to Judge Haller. Later in the movie, he worries that this lie will get him arrested to the ex...

I found this here that can explain it better, he was just trying to make himself look better.
Vinny was good at arguing, but didn't know proper procedure in the state (Alabama IIRC) because he was from out of state, so he fucked up a lot during the first half of the movie. But when time came to cross-examine witnesses he shone because that was his strength. Not the law, just being a smart guy who thinks things through (including a demonstrated curiosity and good recall, eg learning about grits when he arrived and applying that knowledge in trial to establish a timeline and thereby refute one witness's testimony). Plus, logically he must've had the same level of automotive expertise that Mona had to see the tire marks and know what they implied (he even was able to tell the sheriff what car to look for before conferring with her).
But like, the dude didn't know about discovery. He tried to schmooze the prosecutor to get access to files he was entitled to. He wasn't knowledgeable about the law. He was street smart, not a competent attorney.
He passed the bar eventually, but was embarrassed that it took him so long, and that he'd never actually tried a case. Plus IIRC he needed the judge's approval to practice in that state, so he wanted to talk up his experience, so he lied about having tried real cases (including murders).
This is the thing that always gets me, but that's clearly movie license. He HAD to know about discovery, he took the bar 10 times and eventually passed. Discovery is all over the bar exam. That's the one part I always cringe at. It's not some obscure thing, it's basic pre-trial preprepation.
If hes worth $20k a day, then you could pull my non-lawyer ass off the street then give me $50k because even I'd do a better job. Its the extreme confidence these guys have, to bullshit people so hard that even that they bullshit themselves into believing their own shit at face value.
I can't get over how hard they're pushing the "mail-in voting is pure fraud" when the President himself and his entire family voted by mail in this very election.
the kid lived at least, judge snyder has it out for poor ole hutz
The argument is basically that the democrat votes should be thrown out.
Its pure stupidity and its really disgusting how there is zero leadership in the Republican party.
Our country looks like a total joke.
This is the shit you see in countries that don't have strong democratic institutions. Hopefully that is not where we are headed in the near future.
No video allowed but an ERA member streamed the audio on Twitch when it happened. Maybe they have a VOD of it but they never streamed before today so maybe not.
You truly have to appreciate how monstrously stupid Rudy is here. The judge could easily destroy him but instead let's Rudy tie his own noose.
Judge asks him if he should apply strict scrutiny here, a standard that would greatly favor the Trump legal team. Rudy being the dumbass that he is has no idea what he's talking about despite it being very basic con law. So, he bullshits and says "normal" scrutiny should apply, something that doesn't exist.
Now, the judge being extremely kind doesn't embarass Rudy and attempts to parse his nonsense reply inferring that Rudy means "rational basis" as the level of scrutiny. This would be the standard that is HIGHLY deferential to the government, you know the thing Rudy shouldn't want. Thus, the judge is asks how the government doesn't simply win under rational basis? Rudy, again not knowing a damn thing, just replies that their actions aren't "rational."
Complete buffoon.
Judge would have thrown it out today based on what he said but Rudy was verbally arguing something different than what they filed on paper so if he threw it out it gives them wiggle room for appeal, so he told them they need to file what they verbally argued on paper ASAP. As soon as there is no grounds for appeal they'll throw it out. Just like all the other cases it'll be thrown out based on the facts they have no evidence. Even if they miraculously push this case beyond the vote certification date it won't stop the certification as no judge would file an injunction after the election happened.
