It's the worst law of any LAM ever. It's so bad. And the show is so bad. But it's so much fun!

General Contact Unit Problem Child

I’m sure the law in this is bad but what really stuck out to me is how badly wrong it gets American politics. Like they have a GOP operative threatening to impeach the SCOTUS judge main character for turning liberal, which only makes sense as a real threat if the Republicans just overwhelmingly control every branch of government. But when he resigns the right are upset which only makes sense if they’re afraid he’ll get replaced with someone even more liberal, which only makes sense if the Democrats have at least the presidency and Senate.

Status Quo Level Thing

This is too good… you guys made my day. Favorite quotes (of many): “Can you answer the question—just, for all of us that want to be sane here…?” “Let’s do some court.” “Oh, phones!”

The bit where a morally outraged left wing woman yells at him, he comes onto/sexually harasses her, then it cuts to them having slept together. I just want to point out that’s ripped off almost exactly from the first Iron Man movie

"Moral rightness!" There are so, so many terms that mean that bit sound less stupid than "rightness." Those two words have to be the worst writing out of this whole dumpster fire.

Which per my check just now came out in 2008, no doubt as this script was getting going or in progress. It did kind of feel like they were trying to make Garza a legal Tony Stark but that is just extra depressing if that's where the screenwriter got it (consciously or otherwise)

I just checked. That iron man scene also took place as he's leaving a casino like it is so close I think it has to be a direct lift.

Ugggh I hate the Marvel-ization of everything

The constant speechifying in lieu of any actual legal argument in this show feels like such an insult to the audience's intelligence, but maybe I am giving the general audience way too much credit

Gmork

It really sounded like the legal precedent he set in that case was, "you can't put the system ahead of a man's life." Which I guess is a nice platitude but obviously not an actionable rule of any kind.

My house is a mess but I read a lot of books

This lawyering all over the place made me wonder how it works with the various state bars. Say I pass the bar in Alabama and practice for a few years, then I move to Maryland and want to continue practicing. Wouldn't there at least be a ton of forms to fill out? Maybe I got the wrong impression of the movements of this guy, but wouldn't he spend all his time filling in forms and getting certified? Or does he get a free pass as a former SCOTUS judge?
