Date: March 21st, 2018 6:24 PM Author: rusted school Not to defend TWL, but appellate judges do this kind of shit all the time. Including reptiles, including at SCOTUS. Amicus briefs exist to give the Court a citable source for claims well outside the record even though there is no check on those briefs' accuracy. At the COA level, Posner actively advocated for judges doing their own factual research.

|
Date: March 21st, 2018 6:43 PM Author: rusted school Whether it breaks the rules depends on the circumstances though. There is a difference between visiting a crime scene to discount eye-witness testimony and going to a website to look at an ad that is at issue in the case. I don't know enough about this case to say whether the information Soto got online was improper or not. There are arguments dating back nearly a century (maybe longer) about what kind of extra-record factual info appellate courts can properly consider.

|
Date: March 21st, 2018 6:50 PM Author: Maniacal heady mood lay There is no guarantee that the ad she looked at is the ad at issue in the case, though. People change their websites. If the ad is *actually* at issue in the case, it will be in the record. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3924914&forum_id=2#35655838) |

Date: March 22nd, 2018 10:35 AM Author: federal house ceo almost certainly the news stories about Posner and his public comments were a major reason the ABA issued that new opinion.
also, the MSM are saying that no one batted an eye when Roberts did what Soto just got slapped for. true. but since the Roberts thing, the new opinion came out and all the judges were educated about it. |

|
Date: March 21st, 2018 6:52 PM Author: Maniacal heady mood lay I don't mind when trial judges bring factual shit up sua sponte, as long as they give you an opportunity to address it with your own evidence, but once the evidentiary record is fixed it's even worse. This isn't "judicial notice" type of stuff. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3924914&forum_id=2#35655863) |

Formal Opinion 478 December 8, 2017 Independent Factual Research by Judges Via the Internet Easy access to a vast amount of information available on the Internet exposes judges to potential ethical problems. Judges risk violating the Model Code of Judicial Conduct by searching the Internet for information related to participants or facts in a proceeding. Independent investigation of adjudicative facts generally is prohibited unless the information is properly subject to judicial notice. The restriction on independent investigation includes individuals subject to the judge’s direction and control. 1 |

|
Date: March 21st, 2018 6:39 PM Author: painfully honest purple incel More egregious to raise an unbriefed issue than to refer to publicly available tangential facts outside the record during oral argument. Apparently waiver rules mean nothing if Kennedy wants to write a TTT opinion. And I agree with scalia that Kennedy is TTT.

|
Date: March 21st, 2018 6:54 PM Author: Maniacal heady mood lay Kennedy is absolutely TTT, but if there is an actual dispositive constitutional issue that would render other bases for decision null, I'm not sure if it's wrong to raise that. Maybe I could be convinced otherwise. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3924914&forum_id=2#35655887) |
|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:28 PM Author: painfully honest purple incel Usually SCOTUS says "we avoid broad constitutional rulings if possible."
The bigger issue is that both the "liberal" bloc (in Obergefell) and the "more conservative" bloc (in Citizens United and probably in Janus) sign on to Kennedy's TTT opinions because they need his vote. Apparently he's so thin-skinned that he'd vote the other way if anyone ever called him on his shit. |
