Analysis of the Irrelevant: The CMLS Amicus Brief
It's interesting, but should anyone care?
I was specifically asked by a friend of mine who is an MLS executive to write on the Amicus Brief that Council of MLS (“CMLS”) filed recently in the Nosalek case. (Actually, there were two amicus briefs filed — the other from NWMLS.) Inman has the story, with the provocative headline “Association of more than 200 MLSs blasts DOJ ‘flaws’ in Nosalek case.” And they used the image of two fierce tigers fighting, which inspired my headline image above.
I mean… sure, “blasts” is a word. It could kinda sorta fit the situation here, I suppose, if one were being particularly charitable.
I was going to skip over it since I thought events the past few weeks — you know, like the NAR Settlement? — have made Nosalek and the settlement in it kinda pointless. Yet, at least one friend and reader directly asked for an analysis of the amicus brief.
Well, to my friend… when you read this, please remember that you asked for it. For others who did not request the analysis, I hope you find it at least moderately interesting.
Here we go.
