I don’t think I follow the question.

BTW, there's actually a super interesting question lurking in the case that I asked on my spring CrimPro exam: Is there a suppression remedy for excessive force actions, and if so, on what standards? But the court finds the force here reasonable.

Oral argument in the case is here:

Just so I follow, what do you expect them to do?

I went on PACER and pulled the suppression hearing transcript. Here's the relevant testimony without the ellipses, for those wondering.

Hard to know, but I wonder if this might have been a change to make SCOTUS review less likely. An alternative holding on state law presumably makes it hard to get SCOTUS interested in resolving the uncertainty on cross-enforcing federal law.

No, to be clear, it's Prosser poking fun at those questions with an imaginary set of questions back.

I can't believe there's a case on this in 2025, but there it is.

Op here, State v. Hickman.

Why do you think originalism defeats the concept of a constitution?

hat seems odd to me. Why isn't this just a case of so-called "transferred intent"? They were intending to restrain a person, even if, tragically, the wrong person was hit.

Wouldn't effect the result, as there were other issues, but still noteworthy. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

Is it a government vampire?
