This isn't the first time this has happened, and it definitely won't be the last:
To put this in plain English, a black federal judge (likely) had AI help write an order that temporarily stopped laws passed by the state legislature and governor that would get rid of DEI programs.
If it seems too crazy to be true, then welcome to Not the Bee.
From Law & Crime:
U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate's July 20 order granted a request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) from several education advocacy groups - such as the Mississippi Association of Educators - barring the state government from enacting several provisions in a bill aimed at eradicating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
But the order, which has since been corrected, apparently contained multiple errors, which the defendants noted in an unopposed motion to clarify on Monday.
'The TRO Order identifies incorrect plaintiffs and defendants; recites allegations that do not appear in the operative complaint and/or are not supported by record evidence; identifies, as quoted excerpts, certain terms that do not appear in the language of [the state bill]; and relies upon the purported declaration testimony of four individuals whose declarations do not appear in the record for this case,' the motion to clarify reads.
I know legalese is boring and nerdy, but think about the implications here.
The residents of a state elected politicians to represent them in the legislature. Those politicians enacted the will of the people by writing a bill that defunds and removes race-based "equity" programs meant to discriminate against residents with European heritage as payback for past injustices against non-Europeans.
That bill was then signed and passed into law by the governor.
Then, at the finish line, a federal judge (a Reagan appointee, no less!) temporarily stops the bill from being implemented. This could very well be in his constitutional authority, but he (or more likely his clerks) decided they can't be bothered to do their jobs and explain themselves. Instead, they (allegedly) had a computer language model make-up fake rulings out of thin air.
'Our attorneys have never seen anything like this,' an official with the Mississippi Attorney General's Office told Mississippi Today.
Are you starting to see how damaging this could be?
Even worse, there's little that can be done to prove the judge (or his staff) cheated at their job.
With all the rogue judges these days, it's going to take an army of lawyers to make sure we don't become a nation ruled by fake laws written by the Matrix.
