Technology won't save us, but it can help us (think automation)

Technology cannot solve all our problems. I say that frequently because it's true. Technology provides wonderful tools to enhance what we are already doing by making us more efficient. It makes things faster. Rather, the things that are laborious and do not involve higher level thinking are perfect to be influenced by technology, specifically, automation. But what is automation?

Automation is "the use of machines or technology to perform simple human tasks without much human intervention."  Where we will see the benefits the most are in AI. Think fillable forms. You gather necessary information and have it populated in routine forms. 

Automation isn't new. Some of the greatest technological breakthroughs have been seemingly simple improvements such as the assembly line invented by Henry Ford. Ford installed it on December 1, 1913. It allowed for the mass production of automobiles. As a result, people all over America bought cars. Eventually the interstate highway system grew up after World War II. And now we can't imagine life without driving.

Automation through AI will be similar because it will allow us to process work faster especially in the legal field (personal injury,  M&A, workers comp, VA, Social Security disability, and wills and estates are all examples of practice areas that will benefit). We already see its benefits with forms that auto-populate, faster online systems, and self-guided systems. 

The downside for the American labor market is it could in theory take away jobs. Arguably, it will create jobs, too. Ultimately, I think it will benefit us by creating more opportunities and careers we haven't even imagined yet. 

It's nothing to be afraid of like some Twilight Zone episode.

But technology won't think for us. Rather, it shouldn't. We should still think for ourselves. In this way, technology won't solve all our problems. But it can greatly benefit it. Those who learn to use technology such as automation to enhancer their productivity will be the ones who do well in modern day America--especially in the legal field.

Trump Vance Campaign Crushed by Couch and Dolphin Memes

Memes are a part of our culture now. Some have become so iconic that they are now part of the cultural zeitgeist. Think "distracted boyfriend" from 2015. Then there's "change my mind" and "Drake." Now JD Vance, Trump's pick for VP, has supplied "JD Vance had sex with couch" and "dolphin porn." Look, JD Vance is supposed to be a smart person. Supposed to be. But he's an idiot when it comes to politics, and he's going to keep stepping in it. I'm enjoying it, though, and I think we will see more classic memes about Vance.

Does the SCOTUS opinion in Trump v. United States mean electronic evidence that is a so-called "private record" of the President or his advisors is inadmissible at trial??

Yesterday the Supreme Court laid waste to the Constitution when it ruled the President has absolute immunity for official acts and the presumption of immunity for unofficial acts. And "private records" of the President or his advisors as to any potentially illegal unofficial acts is not admissible at trial. In other words, this preemptively excludes oral statements, electronic data, and documentary data. What this appears to mean is phone evidence or any other electronic data tied to the President or his advisors cannot be admitted. Ever. It makes it almost impossible to prove the President did anything illegal, and it means the President has, essentially, absolute immunity. This is not hyperbole. 

Impeachment is now virtually impossible. Even if it were possible, conviction would be impossible. It circumvents the Constitution and strips the impeachment power held by Congress. 

With respect to evidence, the Supreme Court said, "Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial. Pp. 30–32." I don't know how the Supreme Court reached this conclusion. 

So, electronic data may matter to the rest of us. But it doesn't matter to the President or his advisors as he or she commits crimes. 

The rule of law is dead.
