MORE COMMUTATIONS AND THE CLOCK IS TIK-TOK-ING

 President Biden's White House announced on Thursday night the largest single batch of commutations in history- over 2,500 - mostly for people serving long drug/crack sentences stemming from the 1994 Violent Crime Bill that was signed by President Clinton. Long time criminal defense attorneys know the disastrous effects of that bill on our clients and segments of society. 

Here is an article not behind a pay wall. 

Biden and the White House also intimated that more pardons/commutations could be coming this weekend.

Tok Tok the time is running out for .....TIKTOK. 

The US Supreme Court (Motto "Not Political (but MAGA baby)") upheld on Friday the law requiring Tik Tok to shut down by Sunday. 

Gen Z'ers are quaking and nervously sipping their Matcha Lattes while furiously DMing and snapping  each other  "like Dude WTF is going on with Tik Tok lol?" 

Who is your pick for the new partner of Tik Tok?

Elan "Doge" Musk or Kevin "Mr. Wonderful" O'Leary? Both are rumored to be in the running. 

COURTS ARE CLOSED MONDAY 

Enjoy the long MLK weekend. 

(and just remember that people are saying that the 45th and 47th President of the United States did more for civil rights than Abraham Lincoln and MLK combined). *


*This is the kind of bullshit you can expect to hear for the next four years, so buckle up and get ready.
