Did you notice how fast the prison gates swung open to release Bill Cosby when he recently won his criminal appeal in his sexual assault case?

1. On Monday, a federal judge dropped an extraordinarily important decision.

It has received ZERO media attention.

In 1871, Congress passed the Ku Klux Klan Act, which allowed people to sue law enforcement officers who violated their Constitutional rights. It was intended to curb white supremacist violence against Black Americans.

In 1967, the Supreme Court flipped it on its head.

They "interpreted" the Ku Klux Klan Act to provide "qualified immunity" to law enforcement officers who violate Constitutional rights in "good faith." It has allowed law enforcement officers who abuse their power to escape accountability.

A federal judge, Carlton Reeves, just issued a powerful ruling urging the Supreme Court to acknowledge its mistake and repeal the doctrine of qualified immunity.

Follow along if interested.

@SenGaryPeters This is amazing news for both survivors and pets! Our fur babies should be protected, too! 🐶❤️😻

[Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters]

Survivors of domestic violence shouldn't have to worry about whether or not they can bring their pets when leaving dangerous situations.

That’s why I’m working to secure $3 million to ensure that survivors — and their beloved pets — have a safe place to go.

[Kelle Lynn @lynn_kelle]

Despite the criminal legal system’s purported goal of securing justice for victims, domestic violence survivors are instead often criminalized.

@SentencingProj & @SJP_NY's report offers guidance on creating a more trauma-informed approach to sentencing. https://t.co/pyZHvyV7rV

This shouldn’t be a real problem.

[@MI-CEMI @mi_cemi]

This is a real problem. Michigan's compassionate release law is so restrictive that it doesn't actually help people come home. https://t.co/xRcAEEvCnQ

NEW REPORT: At the current pace of decarceration, it would take 75 years—until 2098—to return to 1972’s pre-mass incarceration prison population.

We need urgent reform to protect future generations and end mass incarceration. https://t.co/X4vk2pABJ8

Justice McCormack does what is right. She’s courageous and professional. Michigan is better off because of her service. Politically, this was a difficult decision. I’m thankful that we still have public servants willing to do the right thing in the face of pressure.

For the rest of his career, Will Smith’s Oscar win will be associated with this moment. That he wasn’t escorted out by security, is a reminder of two America’s. That if you are rich & famous, rules are different. That he sat back in his seat proves that Will also knows that…

@CatoInstitute @ConLawWarrior Thank you for standing strong on an issue that has abused its power long enough.
