New Supreme Court Case on Fraudulent possession ID Info
Is there a Supreme Court case out there on this subject? That is all the info I got out of the defense attorney.

It's interpreting the federal identity theft statute.

Here's a link.

Mr. Newell, how is it that you know something about every case, law, statute, rule of evidence or procedure in both the federal and state systems? Do you follow the individual circuits as well? More disturbingly, how come you're right 99 and 9/10ths % of the time?

Very impressive. You should be a judge. If Obama and the Senate would only put you and AndreaW up there with the Supremes...

Gosh, that's really kind of you, but that one was easy. And I'm certainly no Jay Johannes, David Curl, or Andrea Westerfeld.

And they, sir, are no David Newell. And I doubt they could quote from both The Notorious Bettie Page AND Shaun of the Dead.

Do you have any Texas wines that you would recommend?

Not really. But thanks for asking.

After finishing Flores-Figueroa, and yes it did take that long to read, I don't see an impact on our Texas statute. Does anyone see that different?

I did not see any different. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. I mean, they can always try to argue by analogy, but it looked like straight up statutory interpretation of a federal statute to me. But that's the new Supreme Court case on possession of Fraudulent ID.

Let's put it this way, do you this SCOTUS would look to a Texas Penal Code case to figure out what Congress meant for a federal statute?
