In one of the most brazen examples of prosecutorial abuse in modern American history, Ralph Petty spent 20 years moonlighting as a law clerk for the same judge he argued before, effectively playing both prosecutor & judge in 300+ cases. 🧵 Watch here: youtu.be/ui-uCdMfye0

Know why you can’t sue prosecutors for even the most blatant and egregious rights-violations? Because SCOTUS is afraid that allowing such lawsuits would unleash a tidal wave of litigation against prosecutors. Let THAT sink in for a minute.

Drone entrepreneurs are finding new and creative ways to view the world, but a very old profession is starting to stand in the way: land surveying. Michael Jones wasn't surveying, but his state's board threatened him with criminal charges anyway: youtu.be/oC1V-7cMNNg

Brownback v. King case is NOT done. We're heading back to the 6th Circuit. We'll get #JusticeForJamesKing

This @SCOTUSblog (understandably) misstates the #SCOTUS ruling in Brownback v. King this morning. Via footnote 4 of the opinion, the Court explicitly DID NOT pull the plug on the case. It will go forward on remand. See my last thread for details. scotusblog.com/2021/02/court…
