Schwartz, Reinert, & Pfander on Constitutional Torts and Empiricism Joanna C. Schwartz (University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - School of Law), Alex Reinert (Yeshiva University - Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law), & James E. Pfander (Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law) have posted Empiricism and Constitutional Torts on SSRN. Here is the abstract: The Supreme Court has deliberately framed the law of constitutional torts as a balance between assuring redress for victims, deterring misconduct, and maintaining effective government services.

When governments trample on our rights, the courts must be free to weigh in. Full stop Invoking the so-called notwithstanding clause doesn't prevent judicial review, despite what some provincial leaders might say.

Americans are ‘deer in the headlights’ in face of Trump assault on free speech, Maria Ressa tells Jon Stewart Nobel prize winner says US institutions have collapsed much quicker than expected under the Trump administration

Nobel prize winner says US institutions have collapsed much quicker than expected under the Trump administration. Largely because of the Opus Dei court, US democratic institutions have folded in the face of dictatorship more quickly than those in Hungary, Turkey or the Philippines did.

About Duterte, she basically said America is going the same direction as the Philippines under him who had a ruthless “war on drugs” using extrajudicial killings of over 6,000, just to name one atrocity. He’s now in The Hague for crimes against humanity. (I’m going down the Philippines rabbit hole.)

In this action, a prominent American citizen (perhaps the most prominent American citizen) alleges defamation by a prominent American newspaper publisher (perhaps the most prominent American newspaper publisher) and by several other Case 8:25-cv-02487-SDM-NHA Document 5 Filed 09/19/25 Page 2 of 4 PagelD 166 corporate and natural persons. Alleging only two simple counts of defamation, the complaint consumes eighty-five pages. Count I appears on page eighty, and Count II appears on page eighty-three. Pages one through seventy-nine, plus part of page eighty, present allegations common to both counts and to all defendants. Each count alleges a claim against each defendant and, apparently, each claim seeks the same remedy against each defendant. Even under the most generous and lenient application of Rule 8, the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible.

A complaint is a mechanism to fairly, precisely, directly, soberly, and economically inform the defendants — in a professionally constrained manner consistent with the dignity of the adversarial process in an Article III court of the United States - of the nature and content of the claims. A complaint is a short, plain, direct state- ment of allegations of fact sufficient to create a facially plausible claim for relief and sufficient to permit the formulation of an informed response. Although lawyers re- ceive a modicum of expressive latitude in pleading the claim of a client, the complaint in this action extends far beyond the outer bound of that latitude. This complaint stands unmistakably and inexcusably athwart the requirements of Rule 8. This action will begin, will continue, and will end in accord with the rules of procedure and in a professional and dignified manner. The complaint is STRUCK with leave to amend within twenty-eight days. The amended complaint must not ex- ceed forty pages, excluding only the caption, the signature, and any attachment. ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on September 19, 2025. STEVEN D. MERRYDAY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

BREAKING: Federal judge tosses out Trump's lawsuit against the New York Times, Penguin Random House, & journalists, finding that the complaint violated court pleading rules due to its expansive, over-the-top, "tedious" use of language.

An amended complaint can be filed without all of the BS in it.

It’s not every day you see a Rule 8 dismissal (at least in non-pro se cases).

Prosecution: Cops had reasonable suspicion to stop man because he reacted with furtive movements when he saw police.

District Court (D.D.C.): He was reacting to a blinding light, which is normal, and there's no reason to think he knew they were cops.

Harvard’s Fight Is a Defense of Democracy and Civic Virtue Harvard’s case will set precedent for every college that relies on federal grants or hosts international students.

A university that must wait for political permission slips is no longer a university. It’s an instrument of the state.

That’s the risk we face now, and Harvard is on the front line.

Alex Eala's sampaguita: Star had 'piece of home with me' on 'dream' Wimbledon bow There are plenty of positives for Alex Eala to take from her Wimbledon debut - and she was even given the "special" chance to celebrate her heritage.

Alex Eala may not have been victorious on her #Wimbledon debut, but her Centre Court showing was significant in so many other ways 🇵🇭

Piece from SW19 ⬇️

Alex Eala is playing really well on grass. Made her way through qualifying in Eastbourne and gets a VERY good first round win against Bronzetti. Could get Ostapenko next which would be a rematch of their Miami match. 🎾
