this is true, but incomplete. it's pretty important to understand that John Brown was tried and hanged for treason *against the state of Virginia* - not against the United States.

from Brian McGinty's book on John Brown's trial:

i’m so grateful i got to see D’Angelo on the Black Messiah tour in 2015

they oversold the Fillmore so we were all packed in extremely, uncomfortably close, but he filled the room with a sound so transcendent that nothing else mattered. it was one of the most incredible performances i’ve ever seen

the other day i couldn’t find a case i was looking for, so i asked chatgpt to find it based on what i remembered.

it simply made up a fake case, complete with a fact pattern and citation. when i pointed out that wasn’t a real case it was just like, ok fine i won’t cite fake cases going forward

immigration is an area where agencies still tend to get a lot of deference post-chevron. the agency's interp was rejected in the bolded cases below, upheld in the others. in Lopez the court upheld a novel BIA interpretation (revised from a prior settled BIA interpretation) using a Skidmore framework

there is such a crime as mortgage fraud, so the president plainly invoked a cause.

i appreciate the example, i did not know this happens regularly in the 9th cir.

but even so, the amendments in your example seem far less consequential than what the dc cir. just did in global health. has a panel ever changed the substance of its holding so drastically before?

i dropped some food off for my neighbor who just had a baby & 2 days later she came over with home made cupcakes and a thank you card.

which is very nice but also kinda misses the point. like why are you making me cupcakes when you just had a baby?

anyway, this is now an arms race
