abbey621: The man is right. District Courts are the lowest federal courts. It is in no way one of the lowest courts in the USA. Unless you're mixing it up with State District courts. If you say it's one of the lowest then what would you call a town court? 1 Like |

comrChris: That is how you guys go about cursing everyone else except yourselves. I won't curse you back because only weak minds resort to curses when matters of intellects arises.

jumobi1: I was a defense attorney for a brief period; but even that has no bearing on what we are talking about. What has my past as Prosecutor got to do with the issue at hand? Nothing! Wasn't I the one that quoted the Saro-wiwa et all case using the other handle with I deactivated? So, you mean I should have no idea on procedural matters? You, as a claimed Attorney, should know better. Anyway, none of us knows how this is all going to go down. But, if experience is worth anything, I'd say this case will most likely be put on the back burner then eventually tossed. And WITH PREJUDICE to boot. |

abbey621: Have you ever heard that saying that "Its better to keep quiet and be thought of a f00l, than open your mouth and erase all doubts?". It is very apt in this case. The U.S District Court is THE LOWEST COURT IN THE FEDERAL JUDICIAL SYSTEM. |

jumobi1: My friend when you qualify something has one of the lowest, it does not automatically mean the lowest. E.g. We have 5 floors in a building, I could choose to say floor 3 or 2 represents one of the lowest floors. Now since we are talking about district courts and in this case federal district courts, I'm correct to call it one of the lowest because compared to circuit courts and Supreme court, it handles every trashy case thrown at it. Now being one of the lowest does not mean inefficient, it only means that cases of highly important magnitudes rarely ever gets settled in district courts. I hope I've been able to enlighten you a little bit....No need to thank me |

Ispiksdatroof20: You are a lawyer or at least a law school graduate, it's pointless to argue that one of the lowest equals the lowest. What you wrote drastically differs from what I wrote, you might want to do yourself a favor and retrace my posts in this forum, nowhere did I call district courts the lowest, just one of the lower courts. No need to drag things of zero value to intelligence! |

jumobi1: I know that, I was making a comparison between the District Courts in the areas surrounding the Boroughs and cities like Yonkers etc and those that are clearly "Upstate" like Albany, Buffalo, Troy etc. I was just showing how there are clearly more than 11 U.S District Courts in the United States contrary to the claims made by the fellow in the post I quoted. |

jumobi1: It is irrelevant in so far as you tried to use it as a criteria to whether I could be versed in the discussion at hand or not. You alleged I wasn't because, according to you: "As an AUSA, you are a criminal prosecutor. Claims under the TVPA and the ATCA are usually civil matters and don't involve federal prosecutors. I'm no expert here but I studied the TVPA hard in law school.". You also said I didn't know what I was talking about. If you studied it in school what makes you think I didn't? And if Ive served in the Federal Court System longer than you, what makes you think I don't have more experience in how cases like this usually end up? I do not think thats contradictory in any way. |

Ispiksdatroof20: I disagreed with a poster and you attacked my credibility because you're a former AUSA. You didn't even tell me where I was mistaken. You simply lumped me up with Nigerians that talk about issues they know nothing about. Great! Anyways I'm done with this discussion. The courts know best. Peace be onto you. 1 Like |

abbey621: Under normal Circumstances, I shouldn't indulge you because you are obviously trolling, but since Im bored I will. You truly think State Circuit Courts are higher than Federal District Courts? You also really think Federal District Courts handle "every trashy case thrown at it"? Believe it or not the U.S District Court is probably the MOST POWERFUL ENTITY IN ALL OF THE UNITED STATES; EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THE PRESIDENT. Except the Judges don't have the Nuke codes. If your case is not heard by the U.S District Court, it is not going to be heard by higher Courts like the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court. Do you get it now? So, don't think of "Low" in terms of "Worthless". It is low in terms of "hierarchy" and whatever has been decided in District Court is held in high regards by the higher courts. I believe your country has a similar Judicial system if I'm not mistaken. |

jumobi1: I did not intend to attack your credibility, and I APOLOGIZE IF THATS HOW YOU TAKE IT. I'm sorry if it came across that way. I usually don't attempt to distinguish between user names and I JUST REPLY BASED ON POSTS targeted towards me. Sometimes I'm nice, sometimes I'm not so nice. Pardon me. |

Ispiksdatroof20: I won't pardon you until you hook me up with that $180,000 job. Lolol It's all good man. At least we agree on the District Court issue. My posts never targeted you unless you are "FiguratvelySpkn" |

Ispiksdatroof20: Please stop this! When did I ever mention state circuit courts? When did I ever compare state circuit courts to federal district courts? I think you need a chill pill otherwise you run the risk of making even more mockery of yourself. I have never for once mentioned state courts as I believe we are dealing at the federal level and yes when it comes to the federal system all cases pass through the district courts hence why I called them trashy but take a look at cases making it all the way to the Supreme court, you would realize that they are cases of important magnitude and they all passed through circuit courts otherwise known as court of appeals. I never called the federal district courts worthless, that is you putting words in my mouth and you know it! We are talking of international crimes and punishments, this is why I called them unfit to handle such cases when you compare them to ICC, if you take a look at this forum; you yourself mentioned something similar about them dismissing the case. I hate rambling, I'm not into long pointless dialogues rather if you calmed down and analyzed my point without any malicious intent, you would understand that I'm more right than wrong and that our points our differ slightly....shalom! |
