@JCSchwartzProf @MaureenSCarroll Of course. And nothing to do with power, inequality, etc. Just “rules” devoid of any social-political-economic context. Why didn’t someone tell me sooner?

The @NorthwesternLaw suit seems to have been supported by some inside the law school, people who will soon call @MyriamGilles10 a colleague and learn exactly what she brings to the enterprise. My hope is that they come to regret whatever role they played in this trash. 4/4

@JCSchwartzProf @ConLawWarrior @pjaicomo @theamirali @AliLockwoodLLP @SIfill_ @ChrisKemmitt Other than not accounting for how perverse QI is in practice, LL’s comment also minimizes the force of substantive 4A doctrine. Even w/o QI, POs get the benefit of the doubt. Deference to split-second decisions etc. It’s just another myth that w/o QI, negligence=liability.

@JCSchwartzProf @ConLawWarrior @pjaicomo @theamirali @AliLockwoodLLP @SIfill_ @ChrisKemmitt Watch and do nothing while an incarcerated person strangles himself to death? Immunity. Shoot a motorist after being ordered by your supervisor not to shoot? Immunity.

@imillhiser @chris_j_walker That’s my thought too, aside from (1) the symbolic/expressive value of naming an individual defendant and (2) whatever limits are implied by a respondent superior regime (as opposed to absolute vicarious liability)

SCOTUS rejects the argument @ p4: “At this initial stage of the case, Tyler need not definitively prove her injury or disprove the County’s defenses. She has plausibly pleaded on the face of her complaint that she suffered injury from the County’s actions, and that is enough.”5/5
