Please enjoy the latest edition of Short Circuit, a weekly feature written by a bunch of people at the Institute for Justice.
Hey, look at that! SCOTUSblog's "Petition of the Week" is none other than IJ's cert petition in Gonzalez v. Trevino, a retaliatory arrest case that—so far—illustrates just how easy it is for officials to escape liability for throwing someone in jail for criticizing them. Many thanks to our amici who filed seven briefs in support of truth and justice.
