Jun 6, 2020signed the petition and emailed my senators and congresswoman asking them to sign the bill
Jun 7, 2020kogoyosvery important thread, never heard of this until now. as I said in the George Floyd thread, one of the most alarming things of the past few days is the violation of constitutional rights. this will lead to a slippery slope towards fascism and dictatorship.
we should all sign the petition and get on our congressmen to support the bill before it's too late
Jun 7, 2020Still can't sign this. Getting Error 1005 every time. I'll just share the words I guess

https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1268353415295500289How does a bill end qualified immunity if it originated from a Supreme Court ruling? Wouldn’t the bill just be struck down because there is precedent that exists to strike it?

westtoronto125can u explain more, i dont know much about it. He is only in first year lol
Don't know the hierarchy of courts in USA but stare decisis means courts are bound to follow earlier decisions made by a higher court when presented with a similar set of facts. Earlier decisions in an equal/lower court have persuasive value.
Lawyers for each side basically have to bring up earlier decisions made by judges and the other side has to refute it either by pointing out how the current case has materially different facts and thus that judgment has no application or that the judges applied the law incorrectly in that previous judgment
