Nieves v. Bartlett

This case originates out of an incident at opposite Burning Man, a ski race in Alaska called Arctic Man. The ruling is about opposite free speech, wherein the justices vote to protect cops' First Amendment right to accidentally say the quiet part out loud when they're doing a retaliatory arrest. Patreon subscribers get ad-free case episodes, premium episodes, invitations to exclusive events, merch discounts, and more.
