Addendum to Exhibits in Motion for Abeyance of Judgment in Partial Motion to Dismiss

Friends, Romans, Bacon and Cheese!We had a young fellow in private grammar school who had actually thought that allusion to Shakespeare was quite humorous, and, from report, apparently even defrocked Southern Baptists love to eat, or so I learned one day suffering through a sermon duringf the longest respiratory tract infection pandemic in history arising from a virus that had less than a five percent chance of infecting anyone. Talk about great existential questions, right?Raymond A. Brown, a cantankerous soul, was, at least according to the folks at the New York Times, a legendary criminal defense attorney, who was not even mentioned in that movie about Hurricane Carter and starring Denzel Washington. But old Ray used to justify what he did for a handsome compensation by saying that he only used the law to help his clients, of questionable moral character quite often. But he would quite delight in inviting our family to the Kennedy Center each Christmas season to enjoy the performance of The Messiah, his little way of saying that had he not done the works he did, we would not be enjoying this holiday entertainment. But you know, and Ray used to have a nickname for me, "The Asshole", which I take as a term of endearment, and there is a reference in the Good Book about if you gain the world, but something or other. Who can recall, right? Let the church say, "Mammon built this church!" for some reason hangs in my mind. Any who.First, some administrative matters with which to dispense, reviewing some of the very important rules that govern civil procedure, so we shant not find offense. For those not familiar with this wonderful grant of a right, not for that most important enjoyment of bodily autonomy, choose your favorite Amendment source of law, but that lesser entitlement to a day in court, under the Sixth Amendment, which like that account in Genesis regarding Creation, may or may not equate to the normal 24-hour daym should you get that far. And, for our fundamentalists and scriptural literalists, it is actually rather quite intriguing, because, from the plain word meaning, we are informed at the outset that this cherished right pertains to "all criminal prosecutions", very much akin to those familar rights under Miranda v. Arizona, with respect to a right to remain silent, a right to have someone with a law degree and license, who granted the privilege to present pleadings and arguments in a courtroom in enjoyment of that formerly referenced Sixth Amendment right, and of course that right, if you cannot afford one, to have one appointed to you by the court that will hand down your sentence. With the government and here to help, and enjoying absolute immunity. And remember to always grab low lying fruit, and if you're ever invited to a poker game and don't know who the sucker is, you look like a winner. "Each of the following evidences an official record—or an entry in it—that is otherwise admissible and is kept within the United States, any state, district, or commonwealth, or any territory subject to the administrative or judicial jurisdiction of the United States: (A) an official publication of the record; or (B) a copy attested by the officer with legal custody of the record—or by the officer's deputy—and accompanied by a certificate that the officer has custody", according to Fed.R.Civ.P. 44(a)(1). And the comments further inform us that "[t]his rule provides a simple and uniform method of proving public records, and entry or lack of entry therein, in all cases including those specifically provided for by statutes of the United States", which I take to include matters brought under the FOIA, all the more significant, perhaps, in matters with, of record, "a protracted history", and when pertaining to what now has exceeded Hitler in the Holocaust in half the time, in magnitude eclipsing the troubles between even one man and the police in Minneapolis. Or not.It may just be me, while the press certainly has their own preferences for priority. And its a free country. Any objections? The motion is passed. 
However, since, especially during a nomination convention, with such spectacular presentations, exceeding even the excitement of watching the Oscars, esteemed counsel for the White House had taken the deliberate time to inform us the information in this demonstrative exhibit is only "unrelated conspiracy theories, quotations from prominent individuals, and citations to unrelated statutes, court rules and news articles"; however, for whatever reason lacking in specific references to particular findings of fact. And so, inspired every day by the words so eloquently written by my Commander-in-Chief, lending hope when hope seems forlorn, strength when courage seems to fail, I find myself not even standing in the need of prayer, as, like the Psalmist said, I have everything I need. And so, in this court of record, we are adding this addendum exhibit to provide to history the "flotsam and jetsam" that has been deemed a part of some "bizarre conspiracy theory". And, with history the final arbiter of our deeds, perhaps, as one had said, God's work on earth is probably not being done by a dang preacher.Johnny Boy, I'm asking our faith community to stand by you and keep you and preserve your going out and coming in as you prepare this upcoming brief, which I can hardly wait to read for myself.And, Chaplains, again, can we call on you to close us all out in a word of prayer?
