The pro se plaintiff who caught the errors, Derence Fivehouse, is a retired Air Force colonel and an attorney himself. He's a former staff judge advocate who also served as chief of the legal counsel division at the Air Force Base Conversion Agency in the George W. Bush administration

to add the info that the plaintiff is himself an attorney.

I am posting from an Amazon Fire, so articles get posted in dribs and drabs.

And good morning.

Those cover pages don't show a person's resume, so I bet the govt. lawyers didn't spot the name of a lawyer who'd served in W's administration.

North Carolina, this state where i live, where republicans rule.

so, they're catapulting the propaganda into the Court.

by all the Trumphumping Republican voters in all the red states, like this one, who believe that THEY will come out of this unscathed..........despite evidence already being displayed to the opposite........

Florida being a prime example.......If only they had a single Hurricane last year, and got a taste of what Trump's FEMA WOULDN'T have done for them, maybe that would have wised up a few of them in that state. But even then, I doubt it.
THE RepubliCONs truly lucked out on that one........

The Republican CABAL has obliterated our Judicial and Legislative Branches at all levels........
They selectively use them, only when they feel the law suits them...........

All of these who face "sanctions" should be incarcerated, and at a minimum lose their law licenses anywhere in this country, forever........

It is absolutely un-fathomable, the destruction that is being done by Republicans, Corporations, and Trump at orders of Putin..

Frankly nothing like this could have happened if it weren't for the U.S. CORPORATIONS, financially backing every Republican in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House, as well as paying for the Republican Justices in the U.S. Supreme Court....

I am waiting for the United States of America to be renamed: THE UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA......

Wolfie's in agreement! lol

love your name......LOL

Named after my fave pupper! Up there in doggie heaven.

what Amadeus' wife used to call him instead of Wolfgang.......

One of my favorite movies of all time. The opening symphony #25. So great!

One of my top ten movies of all time.............All acting was superior..........

what's left are third tier MAGA zealots

every detail of every result is always stupid), which Bloomberg mentioned. The stupid and apparently AI-using attorney hasn't yet confirmed that AI was used, but has been asked about it.

citizenry who can’t discern ai slop from the real.

A lawyer I know is already seeing this. If you don’t know what’s correct then you can’t review for it.

Like the kids who don’t know where east and west are. They just look at their phones for where to go.

could be counted on for accuracy and real intelligence.

But since it can never be depended on - can always be hallucinating/fabricating results - people are surrendering their own ability to think to idiot machines.

population will have a better understanding of the weaknesses in AI and better able to discern its effects. If enough lawyers have their reputations ruined by the careless use of AI, successful lawyers will learn how to use AI more judiciously and with better oversight.

the strengths and weaknesses of of AI as we learn more about both. We used to conduce atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons until we became aware of the effects that could have on the health of the population. There is a learning curve.

The Corporations, Heritage Foundation, 2025 crowd and Lobbyists write the papers, and just give them to Politicians and Legal crowd to just present as their own........In Congress, AND the courts......

Any time you cite a case you have to cite check it, meaning that it really says what you claim it says and that it hasn't been overruled or distinguished. Maybe AI is supposed to be doing this, too, but at some point there has to be a human editor.

I certainly don’t have any direct knowledge and understand the compulsion to blame AI, but I’m growing less trusting of claims made by the DOJ. Unless there’s a new cutout for AI use, there’s still a duty to present accurate and current case law. I do wonder if wishful AI prompts might be more likely to color the response attorneys get? If it is AI at the root, these kind of mistakes will cost lives in court, in surgery, in engineering, and other professions. I don’t think we can turn back the clock, so I hope every professional organization remains vigilant and transparent about the limitations of AI.

(certainly the one in my district, which has lost more than half of its lawyers in the last six months), they are in sorry shape. A lot of lawyers, probably the best ones, have either been fired or have quit because they wouldn't do the unethical things their DoJ bosses wanted them to do. They've been trying to hire but there's a loyalty test; lawyers have to agree to advance the interests of Trump, not neutrally follow the law, so the best people aren't applying any more. AUSA jobs were once really desirable and prestigious (I actually got an AUSA interview as a new law grad, and even though I didn't get the job I was pretty proud of myself for just getting the interview); now they can't get anybody except hard-core MAGAs or people who are so desperate for a job that they'll agree to compromise their ethics. As a result the offices are so thinly and incompetently staffed that they're throwing their assignments into the AI cesspool and not cite-checking or editing the results just in order to get their work done on time.

At work again.

Oooo we sent in the wrong filing. Sorry about that.
Courts have been catching the DOJ s lawyers in all sorts of fraudulent filings and statements. The lawyers will get a very short leash if the judge doesn't remove them entirely.

This is why Bondi wants to have say over state bars.

Or Republican appointed judges in the lower courts................They haven't been catching a profound amount of crap going on....

Because it's pretty unlikely that "fabricated quotes" would be sourced some other way

The liars need to spend time in jail and be disbarred. They need time to think about their choices in life, isolated from the rest of the citizenry.

One thing that is probably true is that the assumption that assertions in court filings are true has allowed these people to get away with lies, particularly early on when assumptions of integrity hadn't been smashed to smithereens.

Now plaintiff's in cases against the regime and courts hearing cases brought by or against the regime "get it" that the felon's appointees and sycophants make things up as a matter of standard practice.

The DOJ has been gutted of the competent attorneys by trump
