We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
A barrister has been accused by a judge of using “entirely fictitious” cases generated by artificial intelligence (AI) to support an asylum claim by migrants.
Chowdhury Rahman was criticised by the judge who said there was “overwhelming” evidence that he had used software like ChatGPT to prepare his legal research.
When the immigration barrister presented his submissions, he baffled the judge by citing cases that were “entirely fictitious”, “non-existent” or “wholly irrelevant”.
Mr Rahman was found not only to have used AI to prepare his work, but “failed thereafter to undertake any proper checks on the accuracy”, the tribunal was told.
Upper tribunal judge Mark Blundell said Mr Rahman tried to “hide” that he had used AI and “wasted” the tribunal’s time. He said he was now considering reporting Mr Rahman to the Bar Standards Board.
⚖️ 🇺🇸 🏛 He Who Decides the Exception: Trump Should Disregard the Supreme Court’s National Guard Ruling
⬛️ Judicial overreach mustn’t be permitted to trample the public necessity.
🔶️ The Supreme Court has again reminded the country that, in the American system, the judiciary can halt executive action with the stroke of a pen—this time keeping in place a lower-court order blocking President Trump’s attempt to federalize and deploy National Guard forces to protect besieged immigration enforcement operations in and around Chicago.
🔶️ The point was that a republic cannot outsource its highest political judgments to a tribunal without hollowing out self-government. Put those threads together—Cicero’s salus populi, Aquinas’ equity, Locke’s prerogative, Hamilton’s executive energy, Jefferson’s coordinate construction, Jackson’s independence, Lincoln’s warning—and you get a tradition that modern progressives and libertarians alike often deny ...
This is no longer a red-versus-blue spectator sport or partisan cheerleading exercise. The macro reality is brutally apolitical. The United States is functionally bankrupt, as Ron Paul has warned for decades, and the evidence is now manifesting in collapsing purchasing power. The price of acquiring real money—gold and silver—has surged roughly 200% in just two years, a silent tax that represents systemic looting via monetary debasement. We are drifting toward a sovereign debt crisis unprecedented in the entire history of fiat currency regimes. Even conservative frameworks, like Jim Rickards’ back-of-the-napkin gold revaluation tied to balance-sheet realities, imply a potential trajectory toward $27,000 per ounce. You don’t need to be a “gold bug” to recognize risk management: allocating even 10% of depreciating Federal Reserve notes into real money is simple capital preservation. It’s not about upside speculation—it’s about avoiding total annihilation if real money ...
