A decrepit frothy hard right blogger tonight complains that a federal judge -- or two, actually -- seem to have used AI to write orders for them. And the AI hallucinated fake holdings, in what look to be fake cases.
Both judges withdrew the opinions (as the MAGA blogger admits) -- and issued ones based on actual cases. The two cases came out the same way, minus the hallucinations. There were cases to support the opinions as drafted.
Still, this is bad. We can all agree as lawyers -- and lay-people -- this shouldn't ever happen.
But -- but -- but! ... What of federal judges like these two -- one in dusty North Texas -- one in Monroe, Louisiana -- who literally made up the law, without even pretending it was a mistake?
Each of these MAGA ruby red judges claimed the law held things it clearly did not hold. This is not lazy. This is. . . malevolent.
Judge Drew B. Tipton (Texas).
Judge Terry A. Doughty (Louisiana).
In one case, one of these judges simply wrote out the opposite meaning of what the law actually was, and made it into his case's holding -- by pretending Congress had said things it expressly. . . rejected, in passing the law.
This was intentional lying (not just lazy drafting), by federal court judges at the end of Trump 1.0 / early on in Mr. Biden's time in office, and decisions that this hard right blogger expressly praised.
Of course, both were overruled on appeal.
So -- we may safely assume that this blogger's knickers are in a twist now -- solely because he didn't like the politics of the current (MS and NJ) judges' views -- as captured in AI mistakes.
D A M N.
Onward, resolutely.
