He's just looking at it from a different viewpoint. After all, Prescott Bush traded with the Nazis until after we entered the war and the Rockefeller Foundation helped start the Nazi eugenics program and funded the program where Mengele got his start. Fwiw, much of that was based on so called research funded by the Carnegie Foundation at the start of the 20th Century. Add that Lindberg was a shared hero and that the Bund was a political force in industry, especially in the Midwest and he's not revising how a lot of people felt then.

His Twitter feed is … quite something, if you are interested in vaccine conspiracies, crypto, 9/11 conspiracies, Sharia law conspiracies, anti-Comey and anti-Dem memes, some weird pedo conspiracy stuff but also some anti-far right podcaster rants.
Organic chemistry is hard. This guy is no idiot, but he may be more than a bit nuts.
Check out Isaac Newton's religious views and he apparently knew a bit about physics and math.

Pretty incredible that the lawyers and non lawyers alike on this board have a better understanding of law than the aroused ram.

In fairness, anyone who reads my posts from start to finish over time end up learning a lot about law . . .

Eh. Not really. All JDs are equal, but some JDs (from schools other than Mercer) are more equal than others (from Mercer).

A lot of law firms disagree with that. As do federal judges when selecting clerks.

Even some JDs from Mercer are more equal than other JDs from Mercer. After all, half of their graduates are in the bottom half.

Way more than half. It's Mercer's superpower.

I appreciate the legal knowledge that you, lawtig, nycfan, rodo, etc. bring to this board. Admittedly, some of it is over my head but I find it interesting nonetheless.

I like Justice Friedman, especially his comment that if any of Trump's lenders felt cheated they could have sued him themselves, and none did. Hopefully the Court of Appeals will adapt his position. In any event, Trump just had over a half a billion in fines wiped away due to an unconstitutional disgorgement order by the Trump hating trial court. Who cares about the injunction? Does Trump really care about serving on any boards of NY companies in the immediate future?Opinion link: https://www.nycourts.gov/courts/AD1/calendar/AppsMots/2025/apps/20250821/2023-04925, et ano..pdf
What a mess. On to the Court of Appeals.
No matter how you slice it, it's a damn good day for Trump.
