Short Circuit Short Circuit 161 | A Honkload of Stateless Cocaine
A triad of important things in life are tweets, stateless vessels, and fonts. IJ attorneys Tatiana Pino and Patrick Jaicomo join your host Anthony Sanders to outline how a politician in the Eighth Circuit almost turned her Twitter account into a public forum, which would have prevented her from blocking anyone based on a viewpoint she disagrees with. Also, ever wanted to sail your own boat onto the high seas, free from any nation’s sovereign arm? Too bad. At least says the First Circuit to an unlucky mariner who happened to be transporting quite a lot of cocaine. Finally, Anthony takes us on a tour of the fonts of the federal circuits. Will others follow the Fifth Circuit’s lead and not pretend they issue opinions with typewriters anymore?
