QI has to go. It’s a judicial fiction with no basis in law.
Isn’t it better to have QI resolved before trial? What if P wins at trial then loses that appeal on QI?

April Fonseca tried to report on the eviction of a homeless camp. Medford officers arrested her—and strip-searched her. Clear-cut? We think so. But when the district court denied qualified immunity, the officers sought an immediate appeal. We told the Ninth Circuit they should pound sand.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

A thread by our Director about AI hallucinations.
I’m quoted in an article about AI hallucinating cases. There is a way to fix this, and it’s to have a list of every case so that you can automatically check briefs for bad citations.
Right now, that’s impossible because Westlaw is the one creating the citations and they don’t share them. 1/

Do I trust them? No. That’s why I voted no. But they are in a terrible position, and we can use the next few weeks to turn the pressure up even further.

The President pardoned members of his private militia after they failed to overturn an election; they, in turn, pledge their support to him and urge him to use them to police civil society.
New:
On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers
He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."
