    Not an attorney myself but also didn’t see you wrestle with the mention of MANDAMUS in the brief. Discuss.

        You’re very welcome, glad to share the gospel according to Harry. Also thanks for banging out that killer summary, I should have done that myself but excuse excuse.

            From my view, it is perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of any one take, even from someone as well credentialed as Harry.
            To that point, one bugbear I am wary of is the inherent cover that lawyerly types tend to give to the Justice system writ large: namely, that it can self-police and correct for biases or bad actors. No legal source I’ve followed has yet to grapple with this blind spot specifically.
            Which is to say, I’m right there beside you in being hesitant to overinvest in any one outcome.

            With that, I’ll throw one more resource at you, and that is the Serious Trouble podcast. The cadence from this crew is much slower, but they bring a fair bit of levity to the table alongside some deep perspective from the angle of defense, and so I look forward to each episode. My hope is they will dive into a discussion around mandamus also, as I am just as flummoxed as you when it comes to understanding specifics.

            Have a good one, and thanks again for the thoughtful conversation.
