@heidilifeldman thanks again for taking the time to annotate this ruling. I think it's great when lawyers do this to broaden access to the law and decisions for lay folks!

@heidilifeldman I could have worded the question better. The first step, callous disregard, is the necessary part. If you don't have that then you haven't proven the need for "extraordinary equitable jurisdiction". The court *could* have stopped there but decided they really wanted to hammer home the point that this entire stay was wrong.

It's not enough to squat a Mastodon handle that you never use.

It's not enough to automatically repost your Twitter timeline.

You have a chance to be part of something new. Something important. To shape it in the right way.

With all of us.

Breathe life into *this* community and *this* network by posting here, creating here, connecting here.

Be here now.

@heidilifeldman thanks for taking the time to do this!

Just to confirm (it's been a long time since my undergrad torts class) but the 11th Circuit didn't actually *need* to list every reason why the Richey test failed correct? Failing any single part of the test is enough to vacate the decision.

For those interested, the link is to my annotated copy of today’s opinion from the 11th Circuit, dismissing the special master appointed by Aileen Cannon on ground that she wholly wrongly took jurisdiction over the case in the first place. I’ve annotated with the aim of making the opinion, which is clearly written anyway, even more accessible to non-lawyers. #lawFedi #ruleOfLaw #11thCircuit #appellateLaw drive.google.com/file/d/1B7kUU

@CarlosGS sorry about that! I have no clue why that would be happening to be honest. I muted the conversation on that post because it got wayyyyy out of hand. That's the best I can suggest unfortunately 😐

@benpocalypse only one person on my team got hit. Could have been worse. Could have been in a position where we didn't need to do any layoffs. Sad day here.

Sitting on a Slack call with my team wondering if we're safe from layoffs... how's your morning going? 😩

I absolutely despise the suburban habit of driving your big SUV one thousand feet to pick up your kids at the bus stop.

Nice! PocketCasts did a Spotify Wrapped like recap of everything I listened to in the past year. Here's mine:

@danirabbit @faho@octodon.social right, I would say migrate if you feel like there's issues with the moderation or you personally want a smaller, localized instance. I almost think its hard to tell these things if you're on a different instance though so knows 🤷

I want to recommend @kathleenbelew, whose commentary, especially in the wake of the Oath Keeper indictment, is really important.

@cassidyjames and here's the bill in GovTrack for the house:

@cassidyjames the House passed its own version with "nearly 50 Republican votes" and all the Democrats voting for it. Remember this is the lake duck season where the Dems still control the House. Majority Leader Hoyer expects them to take up the bill next week. It should pass and be signed before the holidays.

Today America took a step forward in recognizing and protecting the rights of the LGBT community. We still have a long way to go as a country to recognize everyone's basic rights but this is a positive step forward. It was only 7 years ago that SCOTUS ruled in Obergefell v Hodges in a 5-4 decision.

I often am asked by people fleeing anti-trans states, "where should I move to?"

I created the anti-trans legislative risk map to help answer that question.

I am releasing my first post-election legislative risk map today. Subscribe to support my work.
