NEW: 13 federal judges say they will no longer hire clerks from Columbia Law School OR Columbia College after the university allowed an encampment on its lawn to spiral into a destructive occupation of a campus building.
This is the first clerkship boycott to hit undergrads.🧵

Despite 3 dissenters, the Court of Appeals made the right decision to reverse the Weinstein conviction. Even the most immoral deserve due process.
Thanks @NYDailyNews for the opportunity to voice an opinion.
OPINION | Weinstein decision was the just ruling
While rank and file New Yorkers may be displeased that Weinstein’s New York conviction was reversed, this was a necessary result for the rule of law, @PaulRTownsend writes.

Kudos to @DOCCommish Maginley-Liddie for continuing to right Louis Molina's wrongs.
Perez’s ouster is a “vindication and moral victory. Molina demoted Mr. Benitez for reporting Molina’s illegal activities & hired his friend, the unqualified Mr. Perez(1/2)

ALT Screenshot of X post: Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann: “The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy. Its members including Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension. And collectively the ‘court’ has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate. It must be dissolved.”

Is there anyone @NYCMayor has placed in high ranking law enforcement positions who is not inept or corrupt?
New documents reveal how top New York uniformed cop Jeffrey Maddrey — currently facing charges he abused his office by intervening in the investigation of a friend — could have lost his career in 2017 over charges he lied about a gun incident.

“The department’s overall drug interdiction strategy is being strengthened, he said, with the jails’ K-9 dogs are now able to detect fentanyl and staff vehicles are subject to inspection.”

Proud of my team, who worked with @NYC_DOI, to catch CO’s faking sick.
Back when DOC actually investigated people before disciplining them.

The Florida criminal trial for the murder of rapper @XXXTentacion is becoming a circus, where headlines are only concerned at this point with whether the defense attorneys will successfully compel @drake to sit for a deposition, permissible in Florida criminal cases.

Something not enough ppl talk about: RIKERS’ ONLY REASON FOR EXISTENCE IS TO ENSURE PPL GET TO COURT.
Since @NYCMayor and @DOCCommish took over, the rate of getting ppl to court (which was steady even during COVID at over 94%) plummeted to just over 70%.
