The tweet is the dumbest legal take I’ve seen since I stopped tutoring Law 101.

Please share some of the dumbest takes you’ve heard from that’s experience! It sounds rife with humor potential.

I won’t tell on the first years because university is a time where you can have dumb takes and be forgiven as long as you learn from them.

Instead I will tell you about the time I was sued by a sov cit who filed a petition they wrote themselves. It laboriously detailed all the ways in which “I” (he had the wrong person) violated his constitutional rights - how I trampled on his freedom of speech, denied him a fair hearing, seized his property, etc etc - all with detailed references to the US constitution. The problem? We were not in the US, none of the stuff at dispute was in the US, and neither of us were American anyway. Dude straight up did his own research on a different legal system and just assumed it would apply where we were.

You don’t have to give names, but I respect your decision to refrain from dunking on actual children. As humor depriving as it may be.

SovCits are so fucking funny, especially the ones who go around trolling cops and suing them when they get beat after finally finding a soft spot or just being persistent enough to wear down the self control.

I have to ask, is this an Anglo nation (not asking which, just if). Because this would so much funnier if some dude in like, Belgium or something, did that. How? Like Fr, confused by the phrase international law and its confluence with Yankee hegemony?
