"When relief is not dictated by the record and law but merely advocated for personal, political, ideological, policy, or other non-legal reasons, a prosecutor’s concession does not minister justice; it facilitates injustic." The PA Supreme Court bat signals @DaveSunday_ Image
@DaveSunday_ This is pretty crazy: The 5-2 Democrat Court finds Larry Krasner is so quick to falsely concede error in murder cases (to try to free convicted murderers) that it has tasked the Pennsylvania Attorney General with checking to make sure he's not lying. I've *never* seen this Image
@DaveSunday_ This is a split decision, but shows that the presumption of regulatory for Soros-funded radical leftwing DA Krasner is gone. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has had enough. It needs someone to "enhance the reliability" of proceedings. Yikes!

Holy guacamole. Philly DA Larry Krasner was just caught lying by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. *ONE DAY LATER* His senior attorney supervisor is suspended for 3 years. Why? They have a secret policy about trying to free everyone that got a death penalty. And lied to the court. Image
👀"After multiple hearings and extensive briefing, we find that Nancy Winkelman knowingly made misrepresentations to effectuate a policy of vacating all death sentences on appeal, at PCRA, or on federal habeas review. We do not credit her testimony that there is no such policy." Image
Winkelman was, with no criminal experience, promoted to be "one of the four highest-level" attorneys in Krasner's office--reporting directly to him. And she used that role (according to this order) to obfuscate and lie, all in an attempt to free murderers. Not good! Image

"We face an alarming trend on this court." Judge Bumatay with a rare "disgrantel"--a dissent from a grant of rehearing at the Ninth Circuit. He laments that in his circuit, religious liberty has been "relegated" to "a second-class right." For shame! Image
Image
Judge Bumatay is joined by Judges VanDyke and Tung. This trio is probably the most conservative ideologically on the circuit that are also willing to rock the boat. Image
The original opinion by Judge Bumatay, joined by Judge Bress, affirmed a preliminary injunction allowing a religious organization to hire co-religionists despite the Washington State law attempting to interfere in religious affairs. The opinion was issued over a dissent. Image

Can Wisconsin operate a racist scholarship program? No, according to its Supreme Court. In a 7-0 decision (that splits 4-3 on its logic), the Wisconsin Supreme Court applies Students for Fair Admissions and says that the program that treats students differently based on race ends Image
This is notable because the Supreme Court lacks a conservative majority. But even the three most self-styled progressive justices find they join in the result. But boy, are they unhappy about that!
"Why have we not learned from our past? Why are we not willing to recognize the harms this country has caused to those who are marginalized, disempowered, or disenfranchised?" Justice Karofsky histrionically asks. The whole opinion is pretty wild. Image

A woman w/ a condition that makes getting vaccines extremely risky. She had a permanent exemption from the MMR vaccine from her employer. In 2021, she worked 100% remotely, and requested a COVID-19 vaccine exemption. Denied without reason. Highly respected Judge Erickson reverses Image
"While CentraCare contends its policy is justified based on its goal of protecting the community at large, its social policy and humanitarian endeavors cannot form a basis to avoid ADA liability." There is no social justice exemption to federal laws. This all makes much sense. Image
Very good and fair test here for when (if ever) a vaccine may be mandatory despite medical conditions or other exemption reasons. That is, vaccination is "a means to an end." Not an end in and of itself. Image

Talk about a headline. "Sex, Lies and Secrets: A Federal Judge's Trysts Go Public". The @nytimes digs into the Judge Ross affair in the Northern District of Georgia. Let's take a look. Image
The Times certainly knows how to write a lede! Apparently this tryst was ongoing for years? Three law clerks every year would know about the "jazz" and other noises coming from behind closed doors. Yikes. Image
Apparently we no longer have to say that we assume the quickly identified judge (see @MarcoPolo501c3 & @JoshMBlackman) is Judge Ross. The Times got their hands on the signed apology letter that she wrote. Honestly, the letter does not read as sincere to me Image

🔥Hot off the presses: @TheJusticeDept issued an opinion today explaining that disparate-impact liability under federal employment law is *unconstitutional*. This is an earthquake in federal civil rights law. If right, this is the foundation to overturn that pernicious regime. Image
The Supreme Court recently explained that we have a "colorblind Constitution." This opinion explains what is needed. First, business necessity is a *low bar* to defend against disparate impact. Second, causality is a *high bar* for plaintiffs. But the third requirement is👀 Image
"Third, plaintiffs must establish with particular evidence that there is an available alternative practice that causes less disparate impact and would be equally effective for serving the employer’s valid business purpose." Louisiana v. Callais for employment law. Amazing! Image
