On the one hand, we don’t require a trial by jury for all crimes. Nor does the constitution. So the bottle of whisky example is a bad one to pick on. That said, Jesus fucking Christ are those quotes ignorant about the theory and practice of the criminal justice system.
This is quite a thing to say when arguing to get rid of the jury right.
I mean ... how do we KNOW this person took the bottle of whiskey? "The guilty deserve fewer protections" assumes away the WHOLE POINT OF THE JURY.
That said, there's an interesting US-centric point lurking here too:

Everyone is dunking on Kim Kardashian. The truth is the California bar is notoriously hard, the pass rate was only 55%, the pass rate for people who didn‘t go to an accredited law school is way lower, and lots of very smart and dedicated people don’t pass the first time and become good lawyers.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

This is wrong. Lawyers like Katyal can pick and choose who to represent and make millions a year regardless, and those clients could hire any number of qualified SCOTUS solicitors. Katyal is making a choice. And that choice shows who he is.
Who he is: he's an attorney. We don't and can't always represent our personal opinions when we take on clients. I do believe there should be limits on whom we represent, but holding lawyers to purity tests in their choice of clients is, IMO a mistake.

So words *are* violence and your feelings *do* matter.
From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

Someone must poop in the gold toilet
It might be the most famous — or infamous — toilet in the world: the 220-pound, 18-karat solid gold throne by the artist Maurizio Cattelan, which drew some 100,000 visitors when it first exhibited in the bathroom of New York’s Guggenheim Museum in 2016.
