    Well, Joe is now going to have a stigma that will follow him for the rest of his life. He will be denied jobs. Laughed at. Made into a pariah.

    But while he’s in college, he’ll get to strut and pretend to be the big man on campus.

      Not necessarily. He could try and exploit this whole thing, to where he ends up with a reality show on Fox or VH1, and then spends his life as a joke, but a joke who’s racking in the money for some reason.

      No I’m more imagining the Congresswoman coming to IU to talk with her sister about appropriate behavior when, on her way in, she sees Leslie (clad in a red, one shoulder, dress) and the crowds part…they walk towards each other…the meet-cute is awkward yet polite. Robin is dragged away by the security guards and Leslie and Robin pine for each other as they are separated…

        What makes you think it’s Leslie who would necessarily take Robin’s name? Sure, they said “Congresswoman DeSanto”, but gay marriage is a hot issue, so maybe it’s Robin who kept HER name for professional purposes.

      I dunno… Without Ethan being in Robin’s life as a target for banging, what are the chances that Robin would have ever perused Leslie, and eventually realized she was bisexual/Lesbian? I mean, if it wasn’t for Ethan, she never would have approached Leslie.

    So how did Robin get elected into Congress in this universe? What was her political stance? Still Star War’s necrophilia toys? Transformer Toys? Batman?

    And it really is adorable how naive Joe is. I mean, in this day and age of information and technology there is no such thing as privacy. Although I have to ask WHY Roz filmed sex with herself and Joe. I mean, as professional camera whore, doesn’t she need to get a waiver signed by him so as to avoid legal liability of invasion of privacy like that? I know a couple of guys who do porn, and they need waivers and stuff signed before they can start filming.

    Unless of course, Roz isn’t charging for the videos like she does in the Shortpacked! Universe. If she does this for the fun of it, and doesn’t make money off it, she wouldn’t need a waiver signed. But she is still liable legally to be sued if Joe wanted. Which you know he won’t.

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).
