Your majesty I’d have to respectfully decline on account of I’d surely piss you off. Besides then I’d have to juggle policy that I’d rather leave to the court jester. Policy is always adversarial …Pro vs Con and everything between the two extremes caught up in the process.

Lurk sometimes even I have a hard time following your train of thought but I will tell anyone I never ever want to have to be in an adversarial situation with you LOL….You are what they call in Washington a “policy wonk” and should I ever be anointed King You WILL be my policy advisor HA!

You may not be a lawyer but truth is you are way more qualified to speak on this topic than most lawyers…remember some are real estate attorneys…nothing wrong with that but they wouldn’t have your first hand expertise on first amendment civil law.

Hope ya all have a great weekend!

Love you long time

@BT

A lawyer who’d argued education/disability cases in state, federal, appellate and SCOTUS told me I was wrong the district had to have someone authorized to admin meds…504 says so. Once Hillsborough adopted the policies in our district he realized he was wrong. He asked to co-counsel, I said GFY. His colleagues made him eat serious crow and LOL with him when I chewed up their pro bono research pups and sent them back w tails between their legs. Doesn’t matter how much law they knew if they didn’t understand the significance of six altered documents and the fact that I had before and after copies. We got everything we wanted the day before the district got their summary judgement…applying ADA to minors in the care/control of school who wouldn’t let them self admin meds and didn’t provide anyone authorized to admin meds as prescribed. When I explained why I wouldn’t give bigshot my documents he knew it wasn’t GFY retaliation taking his golden ticket back to SCOTUS away.

No wooden nickels for him he still writes big checks to the charity 😉

By the way, meant no disrespect. Heck, I know your comment wasn’t directed at me, Mike, but let’s face it – calling me an arm chair quarterback would be fair. I ain’t a lawyer, admittedly.

That said, every legal call I made on this site regarding Vivid versus LA County happened as predicted, for the reasons outlined in the prediction. And if there is one thing I do know, it’s the media.

As to OJ, I’m watching the FX mini-series. If the glove don’t fit (only kidding).

Looking forward to what’s coming. ASACP recently celebrated twenty years …and got the FSC/stakeholders code of ethics ball rolling with RTA label stickers. anyone wonder where they’re making their reports to? Missing Kids recognizes hundreds of partners listed but no ASACP …hmmmm

funny thing is I have at least 3 lawyers who read this site daily once in a while they will post, but really we arent a legal forum anyway, its relevant to express our opinions and prognostications and then compare them with the end result…I mean who doesn’t have an opinion on O J Simpson for example.

Indeed some are armchair quarterbacks, others are certainly NOT. Thats the beauty of the comments here, and quite often even those who may not be professionals on the topic at hand have a good common sense point of view and we all benefit from everyone else…Its a great environment and I have learned much here, I expect you will too…stick with us. What you generally will not get here is the self serving propaganda from the FSC and others…matter of fact next week my readers are going to learn about ASACP not ASCAP the music people, but the XBiz program against child porn…I mean who can argue that is not a good thing right? Stay tuned….
