The filed by in Anthony Novak v. City of Parma, Ohio is not only the most entertaining piece of legal writing we’ve read in years, but it also highlights major problems with the doctrine of qualified immunity, a doctrine that protects government actors from being held liable for violating citizens’ constitutionally protected rights. ||credit:

As of Friday, August 5, the Senate confirmed President's 7 bipartisan nominees to the U.S. Sentencing Commission which fully restocks the panel & gives it the quorum needed to amend the Federal Sentencing Guidelines!

The Commission is an independent panel of 7 members who set guidelines for federal judges to follow when calculating defendants’ prison time, with an emphasis on making sure that sentences are fair and not overly punitive. The commission is REQUIRED BY LAW to be BIPARTISAN *and* to REPRESENT A DIVERSITY of backgrounds.

During his presidency, Trump allowed 5 of 7 terms expire declining to appoint replacements until August 2020, when he proposed to fill the agency’s empty seats with appointees who are nearly all white male former law enforcement officials.

Trump's list of appointees included Judge Henry E. Hudson, a federal judge in Virginia known as “Hang ‘Em High Henry,” who once said, “I live to put people in jail.” A former federal prosecutor, Judge Hudson refused to apologize to an intellectually disabled man he prosecuted and sent to prison for murder after DNA evidence proved the man was innocent.

– Senate confirms full slate of seven new Sentencing Commissioners.
