Huffpost Live On Socialized Law
— Gabriel Malor

Just a heads-up, I will be discussing the concept of socialized law on Huffpost Live this afternoon (WARNING: autoplay video) around 3 or so Eastern with Mike Sacks, Noam Scheiber, and Leah Plunkett.

Scheiber kicked off the issue last week with his column at the New Republic: "The Case for Socialized Law."

Plunkett responded with "Socialize the Law? First Stop Condescending to Non-Corporate Lawyers."

And I responded to Scheiber here and at the Federalist.

Lemme know what you think. Having never done Huffpost Live (or even seen a segment), I have no idea what to expect.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana has begun notifying hundreds of residents in the state with HIV/AIDS that they are at risk of losing their plans obtained through ObamacareÂ’s exchanges if they used funds from a program that provides financial aid to people with the disease to pay for the plans.

57 'Justice' is a common law for everyone.

Progressives want a different set of rights and privileges for every racial, ethnic, gender, and interest group they can invent. They will never be satisfied with only a 'double standard'. Justice, for the left, consists of literally hundreds of different standards.

What Social Justice fights for is class separation.

The problem with "socialized law" is not whether it's a good idea or not. It's that a bunch of people are talking about it, nobody really knows how to define it, and it has essentially 0% chance of happening.

106 Just cap settlements. Why is this so hard? Yes, some lawyers will tend to defend certain people, while others will defend others. Pro bono and charitable work continues to this day. Socializing anything tends to drop talent from the talent pool. Or, other tactics will be used, like hurrying some cases through (or barely representing), while focusing and highly representing others of choice.

114 Just cap settlements. Cap based on what, though? An absolute amount doesn't work, because for it to be high enough to be noticed by large corporations, it would have to be high enough to absolutely destroy anyone with less money. Any "sliding" amount is too open to gimmicks and gaming. So how do you "cap settlements?"

134 Several other proposals for bringing down the cost of civil litigation exist, including loser-pays laws, limits on punitive and non-economic damages, product liability reform, venue reform, and expert witness reform. Interestingly, these sensible ideas, all of which would bring down the cost of litigation, are vigorously opposed so-called liberals in the Democratic Party. It is purely coincidence, I am sure, that litigation attorneys (aka Â“trial attorneysÂ”) make up an important donor class for the Democrats. yep easy ones common sense but, so hard fought to stave off

169 Obamas Serving Gut-Busting 2,500 Calorie Meal At White House DinnerÂ…. Just a tad hypocritical. Via Washington Times: The fattening state dinner being served at the White House Tuesday night for the president of France might prompt first lady Michelle Obama to tell guests afterward, Â“LetÂ’s Move.Â” TheyÂ’ll need to burn off a few of the estimated 2,500 calories theyÂ’ve just consumed. Rep. Rodney Davis, Illinois Republican and a critic of the administrationÂ’s school-lunch requirements, called the high-calorie State Dinner menu Â“the height of hypocrisy.Â” Â“Even if youÂ’re estimating a small cut of steak, this is a menu where youÂ’re talking 2,500 calories, which is almost three times as much as what the first lady and the USDA allow our school kids to eat in the school lunch program,Â” Mr. Davis said.

Democrats, commies, socialists... at this point in time they do a few things:

2) use their social networks to spam an incredible amount of information

There should be socialized editorializing, as I mentioned yesterday. That way everyone has an equal opportunity to get their opinions into pretigious publications like The New Republic and not just "one-perceters" like Noam Scheiber. After all, free speech and free press belong to all and if there is one thing government can do is remove restrictions put in place by plutocrats like Scheiber who horde these precious editorializing space and keep the deserving public from having their say.

In other words, this is not justice.

Also, what marketing genius actually dreamed up the phrase "socialized law?" It wouldn't matter what the actual idea behind this phrase is, the phrase itself creates instant iron opposition among anyone with the slightest clue of what socialism is.
