If the opposing side requested something that turned them up, and they were responsive, you'd include a response and include a reference in a "privilege log" [0]<p>What is privileged is subtle and often overstated. You can't just put "attorney/client privilege" and CC a lawyer — you need to be asking a genuine legal question.

<p>I've read this before. The first time you posted this.<p>Your obsession with Obama and ignorance of current events are well known to me and everyone else who reads this site regularly.<p>Please make an effort to apply your purported critical thinking sklls and claimed integrity rather than reposting one article repeatedly.<p>Being unwilling to differentiate between two obiously different forms of badness—both in kind and in quantity—is intentional ignorance and is antithetical to the curious conversation expected of this community.</p>

<p>> You're reading research that says they're geniuses?<p>I didn't say this<p>> ...<p>Re the rest. Thanks. I had implicitly assumed we were talking about financial or white collar crimes rather than all crimes. In other words the types of crimes people generally assume that richer people commit (insider training, tax evasion, wage theft, etc.)<p>I think you are correct in the most general sense of "all crime"</p>

<p>> The reason criminals commit crimes is that criminals are dumb and have poor impulse control.<p>What makes you believe this? Any data to support this claim?<p>It's inconsistent with the majority of research I've read on the topic but I'm no expert.</p>

<p>1. You called the judge an "activist" which I don't agree with. Further if there were legitimate concerns about bias they could have requested that the judge recuse herself. It also ignores the, rightfully, failed appeals which were not ruled by McCormick<p>2. This is covered extensively in the document I linked<p>3. This is covered extensively in the document I linked<p>4. I regret commenting on musk's politics. I have no idea if he actually voted for democrats previously and if so he he actually ever supported  small-state libertarian values. They aren't relevant to the case.<p>5. 6. I'm not commenting on conspiracy theories</p>

<p>The article states that the lawsuit was rejected merely on procedural grounds (specifically the doctrine of administrative exhaustion) . It does not come close to stating that the action was legal.<p>The actual court decison (which I have also read) is consistent with the article.</p>
