Qualified immunity: ignorance of the law is no excuse ... unless you're a cop.

Forget roses. If you or your car is hit by police, you (or your surviving relatives if you end up dead in the "accident") have zero recourse. I had a friend whose car was totaled when a police car ran a red light at high speed and another friend killed by police chasing a drunk driver.

I know that this is unpopular, but Im getting a sneaking suspicision that some of the Trump picks actually are not fascists, just very very conservative law-wonks. So we may get some insane abortion rules, but we may get some surprising rulings on individual liberty vs. cops.

The law is very weird. But police are not looking good.

When they opened the vax site in federal Way, I was able to get a next day appointment - that may have been pure luck.

IANAL, as I have said many times, so can someone explain to me why “not being shot at when you haven’t committed a crime” isn’t a clearly established civil right?

Eh, I don’t see how Kegs or the guy occupying Merrick Garland’s seat deserve a cookie for occasionally not sucking as hard as they could.

It would be interesting to see an interview with her- how she preps for the event and what's going on during the live session. I never really thought of it from that perspective before.

Plus, please explain why letting union organizers onto a farm may be a "taking of property", letting the police deposit bullets into your body is apparently not a "taking."

Good thing they didn't charge her with stealing their bullets!

Stormtroopers have always had piss=poor aim, everyone knows that.

Either one will do. Clarence and the missus make a good pair of bookends, from the troglodytic political point of view.
