It would be quite easy for Ohio's General Assembly to stop this. They could, for example, lift damage caps or impose strict liability for all med-mal cases against institutions or doctors that engage in these practices. (And to the extent hospital systems are considering anything other than merit in hiring decisions, strict liability makes sense: make them, rather than the patients, internalize the risks of de-emphasizing merit.)
Is @ClevelandClinic the wokest hospital in America? A thread 𧾠They publicly & proudly: - Perform child sex changes - Prioritize race-based care - Push trans propaganda on kids - Inject DEI into everything they do - Spend millions on climate activism

Other cities would perhaps have done a better job celebrating the Buckeyesâ title. But credit where itâs due, Ann Arbor knows how to host a separation-of-powers event. Thanks to @MLaw_FedSoc for having me, and to @nicholas_bagley and the students for an enlightening discussion.
We are thrilled to host @BenFlowersOH, former Ohio SG, to discuss how recent changes in administrative law jurisprudence are pro-democracy. Professor Bagley will serve as a respondent. Looking forward to seeing you there!

May's fantastic. We worked together closely when she ran the 10th Amendment Center for @DaveYostOH. She's an exceptionally dedicated lawyer who did great things for Ohio. Without May, the SG's shop wouldn't have had all the success it did. Great hire by President Trump.
Independent Women is thrilled to announce that May Mailman, who has been the Director of Independent Womenâs Law Center, is joining the White House to serve as Deputy Assistant to President @realDonaldTrump and Senior Policy Strategist. While we are certainly sad to see @MayMailman exit from her position at Independent Women, we are thrilled that she will be serving the President and our country in this critical, senior role! We know May will do so much good as she continues the work she did at Independent Women by advancing policies that enhance opportunity and well-being â but now from within the walls of the White House.  May is a fierce advocate for womenâs rights, leading the charge to define words like âwomanâ and âmanâ, and to protect single-sex spaces, opportunities and privacy for women. She is a thoughtful and innovative advocate for limited government, economic liberty, rule of law, and restoring common sense policies throughout all levels of government. We look forward to continuing to partner with May during the months and years to come!

Add to this that the Court seems to recognize Trump is right on the merits, and that the sentencing in question stems from a transparently selective and political prosecution, and the Courtâs apparent conclusion that the equities donât support a stay is incoherent.
Immunity is designed to protect those who have it from *all* aspects of criminal proceedings. This includes not only trial and going to jail, but also the stigma that attaches to being labeled a "convicted criminal" even if no sentence is actually imposed. And this isn't rocket science--its Immunity Law 101. The Court's purported justification for not granting a stay to Trump doesn't even attempt to address this.
