I’ve seen this a few times, where a court will announce a new legal standard or rule or something, but then be like, “well, because the defendant failed to raise an issue relevant to this new standard we’re not going to humor her claim.” Like, what’s up with that?
I often feel like I don’t relate to white people, or anyone for that matter. But, listening to Ice of Boston by the Dismemberment Plan, I think, “that could be me.”

This would flip that presumption, particularly where the good faith in question, as in this case, is due to the “thickness’ of the social and institutional connections.”
