chat is it good when the judge talks to you like this
' The Court uses "must" in its legal sense, which is to say it is mandatory. See United States v. Cunningham, 54 F.3d 295, 302 (7th Cir. 1995) (noting that in legal terms, "may" is permissive, whereas "must" is mandatory).

DOJ's new argument to dismiss Democrats’ election interference lawsuit: The department’s streak of bruising court losses proves that Democrats lack standing to bring the lawsuit because the Trump administration hasn’t successfully interfered with voting. 😂 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
DOJ points to legal losing streak in bid to toss out Democrats’ election interference lawsuit
The DOJ is simultaneously claiming its threats to election officials have no legal power on their own while waging an aggressive legal campaign to force states to comply.

We believe students and teachers must be free to debate, question and criticise the actions of the Israeli government, so we're preparing a legal case against this government's new antisemitism guidance.

BREAKING: Ninth Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, issues a stay of the SEIU case TRO — barring DOJ/DHS intimidation to election workers — pending appeal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judges Callahan and Bea, both GWB appointees, grant the stay. Judge Murguia, an Obama appointee, dissents.

i 100% agree all this output should be blatantly watermarked and have legal disclosure mandates. any weakning of that should have to come with reasonable legal & economic protections for everyone

I feel like whatever your position in AI is, everyone should be able to agree that nobody should get an automated message, LLM-generated email, or interaction with a chatbot that isn't clearly marked as such? That seems like such an obvious baseline of just like, treating people with respect.

NEW: Trump's DOJ claims its streak of court losses proves the Trump administration hasn’t successfully interfered with voting.

The department is using that argument to convince a federal judge to dismiss Democrats’ election interference lawsuit.

"He can't be guilty of being a monster, because if he was guilty he'd be a monster" is quite the legal argument.

The St’át’imc Chiefs Council (SCC) is joining several other Nations in a legal challenge against Carney's use of Bill C-5 to approve the oil pipeline and port expansion (that'll likely murder the orcas btw).

Who could have predicted this!!! Running roughshod over Indigenous rights = legal fights.
For the Salmon: St’át’imc Chiefs Council Launches Legal Challenge to Pacific Link Crude Oil Pipeline Approval St’át’imc Territory – Today, the St’át’imc Chiefs Council (SCC) joined several other impacted Nations who have announced Federal Court legal challenges to the federal government’s approval of the Pacific Link crude oil pipeline and tankers project under the Building Canada Act (BCA, Bill C-5). The Chiefs say that the decision to list Pacific Link as a “national interest” project – a step that legally shifts any future consultation to “how” not “whether” the project will proceed – was made in an unlawful and unconstitutional manner, without any impact assessment or consultation with SCC, despite potentially devastating impacts on Fraser River wild salmon upon which their title, rights, culture, food sovereignty and traditions hinge. “The proposed Pacific Link pipeline and tankers project will cross over 500 rivers and streams, including two new proposed Fraser River crossings, and together with other expansion plans, is expected to double crude oil tanker traffic in the Salish Sea,” said Kukpi7 Justin Kane, SCC Chair. “The threat of an oil spill affecting Fraser River salmon, our fishing rights and our way of being, is heinous. Yet this project was approved under the BCA without any impact assessment at all, and without any consultation with the St’át’imc Nation as a whole.” Dozens of First Nations who rely on Fraser River wild salmon and hold inherent fishing rights potentially impacted by the new crude oil pipeline and tankers project – throughout the Fraser Watershed and the ocean migration routes of Fraser River salmon – were skipped over in the inadequate and rushed process leading to the federal government’s approval of Pacific Link project on October 1, 2026.
