This is what non-attorneys think. They are wrong. It literally refers to the partition separating the spectators from the judge/attorneys.

I hate this is the case, but I'm an attorney and read Brunson's petition for cert for SCOTUS and it's just so poorly written. It's like a sovereign citizen with no law background wrote it. A basic tenet of law is that when pleading fraud, you have to be very specific. He wasn't. He just makes these conclusory statements without any factual background.
The case for standing is similar as well. To have standing, a Plaintiff needs to have a concrete, particularized injury. No "general grievances" are allowed. But the attorney just wrote that Brunson "has been clearly injured" and that Biden is "destroying the country". Both I agree with, but way too conclusory.
I wish a competent attorney was in charge is all.
Well, it certainly appears like a good thing. But the obvious downside is that federal law can preempt this very easily. Basically any law Congress passes can supersede if they want using the interstate commerce clause.
Hey there - I haven't been on this site for a while, but going back and reading some of my interactions and came across this exchange above, which had me in tears. Just wanted to say thank you. There was a lot of wisdom in what you said and it helped stop the bleeding. I'm not exactly where I want to be, but certainly better than where I was.
It's comments like yours that keep me coming back to these communities.
