I’m beginning to like these Herman Cain internet ads

I’m beginning to like these Herman Cain internet ads

I don’t know whether the chalk this up to the Google algorithm, Cain campaign strategery, or just luck, but how great is it to have a Herman Cain internet ad appear on Phil Och’s mocking Love Me, I’m A Liberal song at YouTube.

Here’s the screenshot:

Comments

Professor Jacobson,

I ask you again about what you think re: Justiagate.

I see that others are encouraging Leo Donofrio to contact you. You ignored my last comment asking what you think about Justiagate.

Will you respond now?

    William A. Jacobson in reply to elspeth. | November 12, 2011 at 11:17 am

    What I think about “Justiagate” is that I’m not going to get bogged down in it. Any lawyer representing a party in litigation would use Westlaw or Lexis for legal research, not the net. I just checked Westlaw and it has a full citation history for the Minor case. So the claim is that Justia attempted to hide a case history from a public database which is not even used by practicing lawyers ? And even if we look at public databases, I don’t know what Justia did or didn’t do but obviously the case history is known because people are arguing about it. If you or others want to make a big deal about it go ahead, but don’t include me. See this discussion, http://claytonecramer.blogspot.com/2011/10/very-odd-rapidly-changing-history.html

Just as a reminder, here’s the original comment I posted:

Prof. Jacobson: What is your take on Justiagate? Should we stop trusting online sources regardless of their prominent reputation in the real world? Thanks!

Here are some more of his new ads, Mr. Jacobson

Enjoy!

I wasn’t a big Phil Ochs fan (even though I’m very much from that era – born 1946), so it was with great pleasure that I listened to that song. I’m now going to listen to ALL his songs on Spotify to see what others treasures there are.

Thanks for being you.

Look Who Cited To Justia For Supreme Court Holding

“There’s a bogus astroturfing mantra going ’round the blogosphere which sounds something like this, “No real lawyer would ever use an online web site like Justia.“ The talking point is thoroughly debunked by a very powerful legal source. Ever heard of Perkins Coie? They are the law firm which defended Obama in eligibility suits before he was elected. Ever heard of Bob Bauer? He is a partner in Perkins Coie and was General Counsel of Obama For America 2008, then White House Counsel, and is now back in private practice as Obama’s personal attorney to lead the charge in the 2012 election.

Perkins Coie is as powerful and shrewd a law firm as has ever existed and hey, what do you know kids, their mega influential legal blog cited to Justia in an article published there on June 28, 2010, “Business Methods Patents Survive, But Not Bilski’s Patent“:

“The next key decision was Parker v. Flook, 437 U.S. 584 (1978)[3]. The process claims there involved a practical application (updating the value of an alarm limit for ending a chemical reaction), but the only novel feature of the process was the specific manner in which the alarm limit was calculated…

So much for the “real lawyers don’t use online web sites like Justia” try. Perkins Coie certainly did. Now, post JustiaGate… not so much.”

Inconceivable that his audience knew what they were listening to.
