Lying on an BAR application? Most BAR take a dim view of false information.
Use a glass for your firewater!
Warren is about to grift millions out of the campaign...she’s not serious about winning.
She might want a cabinet post just to cover her tracks, but this is about money and travel for Warren.
First, I didn't defend the practice. I merely inquired as to what purpose the lie would even serve.
It does raise a point here though, which is going to be the question for the bar association. As always in these things regarding "lying," there are two issues - deliberateness and materiality. You lie on a driver's licence application when you split the difference between your bathroom scale weight and you ideal weight. Is it material to any state purpose? I don't know. Is my gender what I want it to be or what is determined by my equipage. Apparently I don't lie when I answer the one way rather than the other.
And there lies the rub. What is the bar association's legitimate purpose [is there such a thing] in collecting race information and does my representation thwart that purpose. Did they have some discriminatory intent in mind, and if I believe that they have such an intent is my lying about it prejudicing a legitimate other, nondiscriminatory purpose. If there is some favor to be had by stating that I am a Native American, then is not that, per se, discriminatory and therefore illegal.
Lizzie will start off slow and then gradually taper off.
Stand by for this to boomerang on her. She will look good behind bars.
Trump will be in prison when Making America Great Again becomes a crime.
I thought we had already been declared “nothing special”.
