Accordingly, existing precedent placed the constitutional question beyond debate by September 2023, when Barber and her colleagues sought to engage in prayer at the Cardiff flagpole before the school day began. If Rounds imposed a categorical ban on teacher prayer wherever students might see it, as Barber alleges, he violated clearly established law. The district court was therefore correct to deny Rounds qualified immunity with respect to Barberβs First Amendment claims.
5th Cir.: it was clearly established law that it would violate free speech and free expression for school principal to tell teachers that they cannot be seen praying by students on campus.
No QI for principal.
Relies on Kennedy v. Bremerton School Dist.

therefore constitutes a unilateral appointment in violation of the Appointments Clause. This finding requires disqualification of the Attorney Generalβs appointees but does not compel dismissal of Defendant Raheel Naviwalaβs case. Defendant Daniel Torres, however, was indicted pursuant to authority unlawfully exercised by the prior officeholder, Alina Habba, and additional briefing is necessary to determine whether that indictment may stand. Furthermore, the Government is warned that any further attempts to unlawfully fill the office will result in dismissals of pending cases.
Ultimately, the judge asks for further briefing before it will dismiss this indictment.
But he also tells AG Bondi that if she continues to fool around trying to avoid Senate advice and consent he'll start dismissing cases.

After throwing off the fetters of despotism,1 this nationβs founding fathers were left with the task of βinstitut[ing] new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.β2 Familiar with the dangers that attend the concentration of authority,3 β[t]he Framers recognized that, in the long term, structural protections against abuse of power were critical to preserving liberty.β4
V. CONCLUSION For the above-stated reasons, I conclude that the triumvirate has been unlawfully delegated the authority of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey in violation of the FVRA, the statutory offices its members purport to hold, and the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution. Accordingly, they are disqualified from supervising the prosecutions of Naviwala and Torres. Naviwalaβs motion to dismiss his superseding indictment is denied. Torresβs motion to dismiss his superseding indictment is deferred pending supplemental briefing.
Any federal court decision that starts "After throwing off the fetters of despotism" is going to be a big L for the government.
Here, fed. judge holds DOJ unlawfully appointed attorneys to lead USAO-NJ following Alina Habba's departure.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop
The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."
