The lawsuit was filed by Deshanae L. Brown, who alleges she was subjected to discrimination based on her race, sex, and disability, citing violations of federal and state laws including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act.
"What's most problematic is that the extraordinary has become ordinary. It's just a matter of course now that when you issue an opinion that some people don't like, you're going to get threats, you're going to get death threats, and that is obviously problematic on many levels."
Up to 65 Labour MPs are believed to be ready to rebel against the justice secretary's plans ahead of the first vote on the controversial bill on Tuesday. MP Karl Turner, a former Starmer loyalist, is leading the calls for a rethink.
For my money, judicial arrogance and an "overinflated view of their intelligence and their abilities" would look like basing a politically motivated, but legally dubious Second Amendment opinion around a bunch of cases that conclude the opposite way if the judge bothered to read them.

Some people really struggle with distinguishing between individual and systemic responsibility when both are at play. For example, as important as it is to make sure that individual drivers obey speed limits and pay attention to the road and that pedestrians look both ways before they cross the street, intersections are a structural factor that can amplify harms depending on how they're planned and built.
It seems to me that the nature of the exercise which is required in vetting is different from the exercise in disciplinary proceedings. In disciplinary proceedings, in common with many situations in which a decision-maker has to decide whether an event occurred in the past, the balance of probabilities is a sensible way to decide that question of fact. Either an event happened or it did not.
Lindsey Halligan, the former insurance attorney who spent some time "masquerading" - to use a federal judge's words - as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia attempted to ramrod criminal cases against Donald Trump's political enemies and failed spectacularly. Halligan botched the grand jury process, submitted an indictment that the full grand jury never saw, and got two cases dismissed simultaneously.
