Date: March 21st, 2018 6:24 PM Author: Motley school cafeteria 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: Motley school cafeteria 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.

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: Mewling Factory Reset Button 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. |

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: thriller cowardly kitchen More egregious to raise an unbriefed issue than to refer to publicly available tangential facts outside the record during oral argument.

Date: March 21st, 2018 6:54 PM Author: underhanded high-end garrison 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: thriller cowardly kitchen 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. |
