idk it just seems to me that laws, like tech, should be created with the question "what would the worst person i know be able to do with this power" in mind and it's truly incredible how much this opinion fails at that basic task
John Roberts must be the most neurotypical person in existence because the immunity ruling reads like someone who has never had a single “but what if…???” anxiety spiral in his life
They don't even need to imagine!
The individual literally named in the case is one of the worst people on the planet. He's got a track record of doing or attempting some of the worst shit imaginable. This isn't some distant hypothetical!
My time as a ship's navigator and Captain were filled with "What's the 4th level back-up plan?"
I once struck and jammed my rudder with a log and was Not Under Command doing donuts in front of a ferry carrying hazardous goods.
We had a plan, lol
Ok, so it was a tight passage
1) Had Special Sea Dutywatch closed up
2) My Nav0 driving
3) Had Tiller flats staffed (Pix below) where rudders enter water
4) Had the anchor ready to let go.
I dropped anchor and stayed motionless as I could until they passed, lol
