A high school class takes a field trip to court, and little Cindy winds up in cuffs and a jump suit – seems she talked back to the judge when he scolded her for dozing off. Will his honor be looking for a job as a bailiff?

Plus:

     --- Should cops be allowed to use AI to write their police reports – even though, sometimes, Chat GPT hallucinates?

     --- And, how cranky are the Dems, now that a judge has kicked Trump's Stormy sentencing date to Thanksgiving?. So much for Kamala's ads announcing, "My opponent's a convicted felon – AND HE'S BEEN SENTENCED TO TIME IN THE BIG HOUSE."

The rumors are true! The podcast "Too Many Lawyers" will continue, but when we go video and invite guests to play pool, the show becomes "Lawyers With Balls." Watch for Larry Wilmore and others in the coming weeks.

Meantime, inquiring minds want to know: Will Donald Trump be sentenced to prison on September 18? Don't laugh – the judge is not a fan, who's on record saying "I don't want to hear about your day job – I'm here to dispense justice!"

Plus, have you seen Dennis Quaid's new biopic, "Reagan"? Here's a shocker: 98% of critics HATE it – 98% of moviegoers LOVE it.

Finally, when it comes to reforming our legal system, what do Kamala Harris and Eleanor Roosevelt have in common? Find out on the next episode of Too Many Lawyers/Lawyers With Balls!aqq

Super-lawyer Tom Girardi, on trial for fraud, claimed dementia as a defense. Should he have testified, sounding at times articulate and amusing? And, has a NYT columnist lost her mind? She thinks it's great the DMV has lousy service because it's the only time privileged white people get to encounter women of color.

Should UCLA have allowed the maintenance of a “Jew-free zone” on campus during pro-Palestinian protests? Well no – duh – but why did it take an order by a furious federal judge to shut down the racist encampment? And, should drug dealers – like the one who allegedly killed Friends star Matthew Perry – be charged with murder?

 Yes, the Supreme Court told the D.C. trial court judge to sort out the allegations against Trump – were they official duties, giving him immunity from prosecution? Well the judge may have a joker up her sleeve – a mini-trial, to answer SCOTUS’ question, may achieve the Democrats’ dream of one more pre-election trial for Trump.

Believe it or not, California’s progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, wants to lock up the crazy people. He calls it “involuntary conservatorship,” and he’s shocking his liberal pals. But, unless something’s done about California’s burgeoning tent city homeless population, well, it doesn’t look good on the governor’s resume.

He’s looking to build shelters to accommodate 10,000 Californians who have a tenous grip on reality. Advocates for the homeless vow to flood the courts with lawsuits.

Back in the day, you rack up a jillion dollars in debt, then whoosh – it's gone with a bankruptcy filing. Not so much now:

      --- Johnson & Johnson thought they'd get rid of 61,000 claims that their talc products contain asbestos and cause cancer – the bankruptcy judge said, "Nice try."

      --- The Supreme Court rejected the Sacker family's attempt to win immunity from suits through its company's bankuptcy.

      --- Rudy Giuliani tried to get out from under a $148 million defamation verdict. The judge said, "Not even a nice try."

 

Dems are giddy over their chances with Biden out of the way. If there's a blue wave in November, what's next for the Supreme Court?

     --- Will Congress limit the types of cases SCOTUS may consider? (Yes, they can do that!)

     --- Will we see age limits, term limits and an expansion of the size of the Court – maybe including 3 new progressives appointed by President Harris?

     --- Will a President Harris be permitted to add 3 or 5 progressives to the Court?

Could the last week have been any bigger? We probe the shocking collapse of the manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin. Will a Trump appointee’s tossing of the Mar-A-Lago documents case hold up on appeal?

--- Will Democrats try to dump Biden based on the 25th Amendment, a path to taking the car keys away from an incompetent president?

--- What about the convention – if Biden hangs in, must his primary delegates vote for him?

--- And, can Dems freaking out over Kamala’s chances really get away with leapfrogging over the VP?
