One rollback later, Chupp is still a bad judge.

One rollback later, Chupp is still a bad judge.

Should've rolled all the way back to before he was elected.

Just answer his fucking questions in simple terms, [...]

The guy did, though. He was asked where to find "the science", the guy told him where to find it and Chupp went "not gonna, LOL!" I don't even understand how the efficacy of masks factors in. If Chupp makes a decision based on the law, he doesn't need to be convinced whether or not masks work. If he makes a decision based on the science, he should need more than "doesn't sound right to me" and maybe read the thing first. He spent more time on his airport story, or that other guy's "they're so militant about it!" anecdote.

Chupp doesn't pretend to care. He won't read your evidence, take your binder, and if you stop objecting maybe he'll consider it later. (but won't officially rule on it for the record)

PS: I'm using the DDoS-induced timeout to clarify something. Looks like some people are under the impression that surgical-type masks are meant to protect the wearer. They're not. Statistically they may reduce the risk of catching COVID a little bit, but not by a lot. The guy is careful to say they are proven to reduce transmission, that's because they protect others from the wearer and that's the reason everybody needs to wear them. He could have clarified it for Chupp but I doubt it would have helped his case.

The guy did, though.

No, he didn't. I can't believe I am defending Chupp on this. Governor saying that scientist said something is neither acceptable, nor factual. I can say that I heard (from a scientist) that solution to covid is mass rape, and yet, that does not make my comment scientific, or of any value. There is procedure and rules to be followed, and they were not. For things like science, you would likely need an testimony by an expert witness, not writings of some big politician about what he thinks an expert witness' position is. Or at the very least, a written statement from the expert, with all the relevant data provided. If that is not provided, the testimony can, and should, be thrown out.

Slight edit: And even if what the Governor said was of any value at all, his order had nothing even mentioning any science.

Looks like some people are under the impression that surgical-type masks are meant to protect the wearer. They're not.

"N95 respirators and surgical masks are examples of personal protective equipment that are used to protect the wearer". "CDC continues to recommend people who are not fully vaccinated wear a mask in these areas to protect themselves" "When you wear a mask, you protect others as well as yourself". I wonder why everyone thinks they are meant to protect you.

 

[Doctor Professor Timon]

He actually is using reasoning here. The guy he's talking to is just utterly failing to make the case and stumbling all over himself. After evading the answer multiple times Chupp just goes "Fuck it, I see where this is going".

"Listen, dude. I already have a bunch of autists coming for my blood over something called anime. What's a few more democrats?"

 

[Stoneheart]

This is also the same 'reasonable sounding' reasoning like "But you still got to go to Kamehacon, right? And can you prove any other TI?" - based on zero percent law and one hundred percent 'I dunno, it sounds right'.

Does a Texas judge have to have a law degree? or can they just vote in anybody? did Chupp pass the Bar? also maybe the people in his district like him because he is a real Person and not just some law jokey.

I'm pretty sure he got appointed originally, didn't he? After that it's very likely the "I don't know who this person is, and I don't care, but they have a letter next to their name that I like" effect that decides most elections other than the ones that get huge media coverage.

He is literally an example of both an elected and appointed Judge.

It cannot be understated, Ty is used to dealing with sane people who just want to do business. He's used to dealing with people who WANT a solution. And while his own client DOES want a solution, the other side does not. And they're literally insane. It's easy for us to criticize, I really can't imagine having to actually deal with that kind of insanity.

Chupp frustrates me to no end... if this was a case between two parties, both acting like cows, it'd be different. In this case, you have a guy who just wants to voice in anime, who just wants to work, and absolutely loves his fans (and wants to be able to meet them). Vic, compared to everyone else involved, is normal (even with his gay ass pants). And the other side just wants to put him in an early grave. What Chupp did was an injustice.

Lazy judges aren't entertaining, they should just be nixed from the bench.

Best thing I liked was when Ty forced Casey Eric to validate Ron's 400 tweets in front of the judge.

"...if [we] can be adults for 90 seconds..."

Great way to convince this judge in particular to rule in your favor holy shit.

 

[Endless Trash]

There was a single case decided Tuesday, unrelated to those i had mentioned previously. Cases released not on a Thursday are exclusively Mandamus decisions as far as i can tell. Enjoy refresh spamming tomorrow!

what was the decision and for who?

 

[AnOminous]

I'm pretty sure if your judge is an ass all you can do is put an objection on the record about it for appeal. And if I recall, Chupp even told Ty at once point to 'stop objecting'.

And that is an utterly inappropriate thing for a judge to do. It is basically telling a lawyer "quit doing your job."

Judge Chupp is a piece of shit.

 

[Endless Trash]

Its totally unrelated to this case. 2-21-00072. Some sort of divorce proceeding that i could not give enough of a shit about to read about. Writ was granted. There was an additional mandamus decision today, 2-21-00231 which is even more pointless to read into since it was mooted.

This seems along the lines of what Rackets has been talking about on his show lately about how the family courts are utterly out of control in Texas. Got any details?

Basically a divorce where the husband and wife settled, then the ho petitioned the court to throw out the settlement and hold a new hearing. She claimed that he had fraudulently misled her and withheld evidence about his finances.

The court specifically found that he didn't engage in any fraud, but decided to throw out the settlement anyway because "new evidence."

He requested mandamus, pointing out that the settlement can't be voided unless the court finds fraud (which it specifically didn't, even lining out that section of her proposed order), pointed out that a bunch of the "new evidence" that she cited as her reason for cold feet had actually been provided to her at the time and she just hadn't read it, some of it didn't even exist at the time of the settlement (and therefore couldn't have been relevant to her decision), and it was her duty to petition for an order to compel if he hadn't provided what she needed. She never petitioned for an order to compel prior to settling so she waived her right to any further discovery.

There's no PDF of the appeals court's order, so I don't know exactly what the court's reasoning was, but the writ was granted.

Happy Semper F5 people.

 

[mindlessobserver]

I clipped the best parts for the @LawTwitter Cheer Squad. Chupp shut down the weaselly science man's facts & logic with his own common sense questions. He got so annoyed at the answers he was getting, he abruptly ended the hearing and signed the restraining order.

Jesus the dude is so condescending. I support not forcing people to wear masks too, but not like this.
