I had a judge issue a clearly unconstitutional order limiting my speech (there was no action on my part leading up to this, it was a broad order applying to more than just me). My lawyer&amp;#x27;s take was that while it was clearly not allowed, it wasn&amp;#x27;t particularly important so best to just ignore it.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s really, really common.</text><parent_chain><item><author>legalcorrection</author><text>So either 1) the lawyers ripped off J&amp;amp;J by spending time on this or 2) J&amp;amp;J management was so angry and irrational that they demanded the lawyers waste their time on this.&lt;p&gt;Every lawyer worth their salt in America knows that you can’t get an injunction to prevent someone from publishing something.

It was commonly known in the company that the lawsuit was being deliberately dragged out for the benefit of the opposition&amp;#x27;s lawyers, and that the case was even handed down as a kind of sick inheritance from father-to-son as people retired.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve only been involved in a court case once.  I was picked as a juror in a case where two divorce lawyers were suing each other over how to split the fee from a high-profile divorce.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m sure there are good lawyers out there, but they seem as rare as hen&amp;#x27;s teeth and well-intentioned social media companies.</text><parent_chain><item><author>legalcorrection</author><text>So either 1) the lawyers ripped off J&amp;amp;J by spending time on this or 2) J&amp;amp;J management was so angry and irrational that they demanded the lawyers waste their time on this.&lt;p&gt;Every lawyer worth their salt in America knows that you can’t get an injunction to prevent someone from publishing something.
