That is ridiculous. The ruling is fine. Not everyone you disagree with is corrupt. I can't figure out if you're using hyperbole or if you honestly think that in this specific case a representative of Sony actually transferred money to this specific judge.
If Sony alleges, as I'm sure they did, that GeoHot conducts business in California in their Complaint, and GeoHot denies it in their Answer (which I assume they did since jurisdiction is an issue), then how else are you going to figure out where GeoHot conducts business rather than look at their records?
If GeoHot asks for them, then sure, you may get to see them if they don't get the judge to enter a confidentiality order (in which case GeoHot gets to still see them but the public doesn't).
This doesn't seem like especially broad latitude in discovery. Discovery is something both sides get, it's fairly broad in federal court, and it is up to the side opposing it to show that it's impermissibly broad.
You are actually accusing Magistrate Judge Spero of illegally receiving money from Sony in exchange for a positive ruling for them? Do you have any evidence for this extraordinary charge? Why have you not gone to the District Attorney or the Chief Judge's office?
You actually don't need to petition the Court; you can just serve discovery requests and subpoenas. The party you're serving has to go to the Court to get it quashed.
"the same BS being used here to arrest and jail a person could be used to arrest and jail almost any of us for things we do"
No, basically just the stuff that's illegal. You won't usually get arrested for being propositioned to commit a crime; YOU have to take some concrete step in commiting that crime.
That is frankly the root of the general slashdot misapprehension of American law. It comes up again and again on stories; you cannot avoid criminal liability by postulating some possible non-criminal explanation for what you did. You are not going to outwit the cops, prosecutors, judge, and jury somehow.
He was responding to a response to the statement "that document did give them the power to make those decisions"; it is unclear whether he was referring to judicial review in general or ICC.
Only the situation described in this story is not a single random insult. That's not "bullying." It's about a consistent campaign of psychological torment. If the KKK targeted someone, put threats upon their website, slandered them, etc., you better believe you could get a restraining order against them.
Entrapment means the cop is making you do something you otherwise wouldn't do given the same opportunity. It is usually entrapment when a cop badgers, threatens, etc. someone into doing something they don't want to do.
then all of a sudden everybody decided words were the worst thing that could happen to a child. Perhaps parents who act like petty shit like this is a big deal are the reason petty shit like this seems to be such a big deal to kids now.
They started deciding this when kids started killing themselves. This isn't all petty.
A hundred years? Judicial review was established in Marbury v. Madison, a few years after the Constitution about only 16 years after the Constitution was adopted.
The problem with using glass in roadways is that in asphalt at least the glass tends to migrate to the sides of the road, at least in well-travelled roads.
Huh? In what possible way have you seen what health insurers have done to control costs? How many people did they have working behind the desk in billing at your doctor? Do you think that number seems a bit high?

Sure, if the defense could show that it rose to a certain level of persistence and that the guy wouldn't have met up with her without that level.

The next 13-year old he talks to who isn't a cop.
Unimportant? That's kind of the aspect that makes it illegal.
Yes, they do. They can file a motion for protective order with the court.

This behavior is not tolerated in the "real world." Someone verbally harasses you, you can call the police, get a restraining order, etc.

Thomas is the biggest supporter on the Court for the proposition that the school can oversee students' speech and behavior.

No, increasing money supply is the very definition of inflation. Look at how the Spanish conquest of central and south America severely inflated gold.
Are you ersious?? I think I have that game somewhere, didn't know it was worth anything...
