Spoofing

Everyone loves to tweet, but try not to flout court rules while doing so.

* From Jackie Robinson to Missouri: Money is more important to white people than hating on blacks. [ATL Redline]

* Are you right to be outraged when the government lies to you? [Guile is Good]

* A glimmer of hope in 2015 bar exam results, but mostly more bad news. [Bar Exam Stats]

* On the minutiae of sentencing: one man’s prison term all comes down to a comma. [The Economist]

* Do you have a reputation? Or a personal brand? [Associate’s Mind]

* The science and art of jury consultation. [Life of the Law]

* A blueprint on the future of “spoofing” cases. [New York Times]

* Apparently, heckling Carmelo Anthony can cost you your job. [Dealbreaker] * There’s nothing the Supreme Court can do to stop cops who want to take a long time to release you from a stop, even if the Court wants to. [Simple Justice] * I think we should just ask John Roberts to tell every state precisely how they are allowed to discriminate against black voters and be done with it. Just tell us the rules so we can start the GOTV campaigns. [Election Law Blog] * Former Manhattan Assemblywoman Gabriela Rosa gets a year in jail for purchasing a sham marriage to gain citizenship. The “for citizenship” part is what got her, because lots of politicians are in sham marriages. [Journal News] * Judge Frank Easterbrook thinks that the new proposed length limit for appellate briefs is too short. Verbose litigators everywhere, rejoice. [How Appealing] * I thought “spoofing” was bad for the market, but Matt Levine says cracking down on spoofing “helps” high-frequency traders, who I also think are bad for the market. You know why I’m not an SEC lawyer? Prosecuting people based on them being “bad” becomes untenable when everybody involved is rich. [Bloomberg View]
