It took me a while to understand the expression ‘Your name is mud’...
It took me a while to understand the expression “Your name is mud.” It’d come up when I was playing sandlot baseball or learning about football. Someone would scream it, and I had no idea why such an expression would be used in a sunny day.
So eventually my wonderful 6th-grade teacher (Miss Jones) explained the story of Dr. Mudd and John Wilkes Boothe. She said that it was something like “You are discredited or in disgrace. The very mention of your name produces scorn.” Thank you, Miss Jones, but I’ll confess that explaining this in Spanish to my mother was challenging. My mom’s response was, why would someone have a name like Mudd? I told her that it was “Mudd” with two “Ds,” not the stuff on the ground.
So let’s come to the present and talk about that fellow Judge Merchan. My prediction is that we will one day say that your name is as good as Merchan. It will be how we describe corrupt judges.
Let’s check this from Jonathan Turley:
Bragg’s legal vision for non-objective indictments was greatly advanced by Judge Juan Merchan, who will allow the jury to reach different rulings on what crime is actually evident in Bragg’s paint splatters.
Merchan has ruled that the jurors can disagree on what actually occurred in terms of the second crime. This means there could be three groups of four jurors, with one believing that there was a conspiracy to conceal a state election violation, another believing there was a federal election violation (which Bragg cannot enforce), and a third believing there was a tax violation, respectively. Nonetheless, Merchan will treat that as a unanimous verdict....

Instead of the phrase
They have been railroaded
Use
They have been Merchaned

Merchan's father was an Army officer in Colombia. What US federal agency facilitated the move of his family to this country?
unlike this Merchan guy Mudd could define what a woman was.
probably they will try to rename that episode...
Muck Ferchan!
Googling once, I found out Mengeled is a word, meaning performing unauthorized, sadistic surgery on a person. I apply it to ‘Gender Affirming Care’ patients. Now we have Merchaned. Yikes! Demonicrats are soooooo evil!
Wasn’t long ago the term was Nifonged... from the Duke Lacross Team trial
Do they have a record of what counts each jurist said Trump was guilty?
I worry that I will step in a stinky cake of Merchan and have trouble getting it off the bottom of my shoe.
I would like to return this shoddy Merchan-dise.

Mudd was a good man. Good Catholic. Made hating him that much easier back then.
But hysteria has a way of bring the pitchforks out and kind people suffer then beside or instead of the guilty.
Like that concrete truck driver during the Rodney King riots.
And don't forget that clymer was for the journalists (or maybe that one has faded from memory).
It's too bad that borked became a verb.

My sincere apologies. Were I Samurai, I would be compelled to commit seppuku.
Indeed. CIA?
>> How is “Merchan” pronounced — “ch” as in “cheat” or as the “k” in “kakka”?
ROFL! Priceless!
I would like to return this shoddy Merchan-dise.
