My article, Factual Immunity, is forthcoming in the Minnesota Law Review. I argue that, alongside qualified immunity, some courts in constitutional tort suits employ what I call factual immunity by crediting officer testimony & discounting plaintiffs’ stories at summary judgment when QI is raised.

Friends, again with respect because this is a complex issue: children born to citizens of tribal governments do not have constitutional birthright citizenship under many, if not most forms of constitutional argument and authority (incl. Supreme Court precedent relied upon in this case)./1

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

Stuff like this is how you know abortion bans are about enforcing gender roles. The state constantly prioritizes other policy goals (here immigration policy) over protecting prenatal life. Prenatal life only becomes inviolable when the competing interest is women's liberation.

Admitting publicly that you only want this bill that is designed to disenfranchise voters is necessary to make sure your party wins is quite a choice. The GOP has done away with subtlety and euphemisms and is now all "we need to cheat because the polls say people don't like us."

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

When Democrats take Congress back and restore its proper role as an independent branch with the delegated powers of determining where money is spent, deciding to go to war or levy tariffs, and conducting general oversight, there's going to be grumbling about how they're "going too far." Nope.
