Thread - 1/Trump supporters WON — AGAIN — in the 9th Circuit, of all places — YASSS! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 There were NO votes to rehear our victory on qualified immunity en banc, meaning the case goes forward unless San Jose wastes more time and seeks SCOTUS cert. #appellatetwitter ... / 
2/Refresher—on June 2, 2016, after a great @realDonaldTrump campaign rally (I was honored to lead the #pledgeofallegiance at the start, and to meet candidate Trump backstage), San Jose’s finest forced the attendees leaving the rally to run a gauntlet of vicious, armed criminals./

THREAD on new 9th Circuit decision in Rodriguez v. Swartz, our (@ACLUaz @sdACLU + @ACLU) cross-#border shooting case: On Oct. 10, 2012, a U.S. Border Patrol agent on duty in Nogales, AZ fired between 14 & 30 bullets across the #border. aclusandiego.org/wp-content/upl…
Approximately 10 of those bullets hit J.A. Rodriguez, a 16 year old boy peacefully walking down the street on the other side of the #border wall, in Nogales, Mexico.
The 9th Circuit opinion first *affirms* the AZ district court's decision denying Agent Swartz qualified immunity: 📢📢📢"It is inconceivable that any reasonable officer could have thought that he or she could kill J.A. for no reason." Slip Op. at 9.

#lawtwitter #appellatetwitter The problem: until the legal profession's culture undergoes some changes, this is going to be a problem. Let me tell you a little story about representing a female partner who accused a senior partner of sexual harassment 1/
I send a demand letter to the firm's managing partner. A few days later I receive a call from an outside attorney, who focused in plaintiff's law, saying he represents the firm and that we should mediate the case. Great. So we select a mediator and go mediate at a 2/
neutral site in another town -on a Sunday. All very hush-hush. The mediator was a woman who spent 30 years on the bench at the trial and appellate levels - we felt good about our chances of early resolution. But, for some damn reason, the firm brought the senior 3/
