For Tuesday

Monday audio. Back outside tomorrow, as I expect another nice day.

We will finish the Prosecutorial Immunity Puzzles. How would you distinguish Lacey from a suit by a line prosecutor alleging the office discriminates against her in case assignments. Think about the "absence of jurisdiction" idea in Anilao (Puzzle # 3) and how that argues for or against immunity.
