Modern savage, a real searcher. Sharing GRAMA requests of #utpol for accountability. (Insert caveats.)
See 100% GOP appointed Utah Supreme Court that #utleg & Gov. Cox are now court packing because they don't like that UT S Ct held Utah laws re gerrymandering & abortion violated the Utah Constitution. #utpol
This is especially true when a Republican-appointed judge rules against Trump for some reason. It's included as a "See, this is SO bad that the GOP judge isn't doing what we all expect him to do and rubber stamp the administration! The judge following the law in this case is a man-bites dog story!"

Qualified immunity is made-up judicial trash & should be legislatively changed.
11th Cir., 2-1, holds that it was not clearly established that it would violate a person's right to bodily integrity for sheriff's deputy to drive drunk at night without lights, hit the person's car, and then flee leaving person to die.
QI for deputy.

![Though these situations may be factually distinct, we cannot cast them aside in our “obvious clarity” analysis. Where precedent injects such uncertainty, it does not follow logically that the complained of offense “so obviously violates th[e] [C]onstitution.” Mercado v. City of Orlando, 407 F.3d 1152, 1159 (11th Cir. 2005). Indeed, when caselaw indicates that a certain type of conduct does not rise to the level of a constitutional violation, officials cannot possibly be on notice that the conduct is a constitutional violation—and certainly not with obvious clarity. See Hope, 536 U.S. at 741; al-Kidd, 563 U.S. at 741. The existence of this caselaw casting doubt on the “obvious clarity” of Moss’s claimed right—and, indeed, disclaiming such a right altogether—necessarily means that the right was not clearly established at the time of the violation. To be sure, similar out-of-circuit cases have reached the opposite conclusion. For example, as the district court noted in its order, in Browder v. City of Albuquerque, the Tenth Circuit concluded that a police officer’s misuse of a squad car resulting in a fatal collision could give rise to a claim under the Fourteenth Amendment. 787 F.3d 1076, 1083 (10th Cir. 2015).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreidebqwemly2zfgozo4wrt56vrpcdotmda42nxhtve6vdvv256uso4@jpeg)

All the pundits who were outraged at kids missing school in the early days of the COVID pandemic are welcome to speak up ANY TIME NOW
I talked to the principal at my kids' middle school yesterday, and he said about 30% of kids have not been showing up. Hard to fathom the academic and mental health impact this is having on kids, parents and teachers.

LDS faithful #utpol won't face the fact that the Missouri governor's execution order directed at members is merely a difference of degree, not of kind, in the violation of US citizens' constitutional rights & what's occurring now.
Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Roberts' just calling balls & strikes makes Ángel Hernandez look like MLB's automated strike zone robots.
Yes, it's narrowly good that the Court is going to be inconsistent, but there's no way of holding that firing Cook is unconstitutional that doesn't dispositively undermine "unitary executive" theory
#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case.
But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:
