I'm pretty sure there is actually an example of a case where Gorsuch sided with a trucking company who fired an employee who ditched his cargo to save his life.

TheGreasyStrangler posted:I'm pretty sure there is actually an example of a case where Gorsuch sided with a trucking company who fired an employee who ditched his cargo to save his life. The law the driver claimed immunity under said that truckers could not be fired for refusing to operate their vehicle in unsafe conditions. Gorsuch argued that this does not conversely give them the right to operate a vehicle without authorization. I can see it both ways; obviously allowing the trucker to drive away without his load is the normative good outcome, but if I grabbed one of my company's ambulances to drive my hurt friend to the hospital, I fully expect they would fire my rear end even if I saved his life in the process.

What if you used the ambulance you were already driving to save your life? Although a good comedy option would've been listening to the dispatcher who said to drag the frozen up trailer. Blow apart the tractor engine and/or transmission then maybe die on the highway.

Dead Reckoning posted:The driver was stuck in a snowstorm without heat. He unhitched his trailer and abandoned it. These are not comparable situations. Gorsuch's position is untenable because it valued a piece of equipment over a human life. The issue that he got fired for was he abandoned the trailer. The law properly granted him immunity because his direction was to drive the truck with the non-functional trailer or stay with the trailer both of which endangered his life.

I agree that the driver being granted immunity is the normative good outcome, but I think there is a reasonable argument that the law as written didn't provide him legal cover to abscond with his employer's property in order to save his life, and the horrible choice between dying or losing his job is the fault of the legislature, and their responsibility to fix.

The reason we have judges instead of just someone that reads the law word for word is so they can make judgements when things fall outside of the norm.

I don't think we should make exceptions in cases we have sympathy for, because it erodes the idea of living in a nation of laws. See: jurors refusing to convict the Bundy ranchers.

See: jurors refusing to convict the Bundy ranchers. This is exactly why this system is in place, so that ostensibly the will of the people can override the letter of the law. That means you get Bundy's fundies running amok, but it also means DREAMers can get school.

The legal system and laws mean less than the poo poo I took this morning when President Pissbaby is slinging pardons for his besties. At that point it's not about either fair or even being legal, it's about controlling the people who aren't oligarchs.

We can't even get an impeachment started what the gently caress makes you think they're going to rally a constitutional convention in reaction to Joe "gently caress you brown people" Arpaio getting away with thumbing his nose at the courts. You're loving naive to think anything other than loving violence matters. Allah ackbar hail Satan gently caress you.
