It's just the phrasing that lawyers always use because it's difficult to prove that someone actually knew something. So even if the person denies they knew it wasn't one hundred percent true you can still make the argument that they should have known it wasn't true. Although, you cant always be sued for defamation about a group of people. It depends on the laws in that state

In legal speak the term is "knew or should have known"

Even then, a state constitution can't override the federal constitution. You would need an amendment at the federal level for every statute that violates it. There's still laws on the books that were perfectly legal at the time they were passed, but never got repealed. Although I do think that it should be required to repeal laws that are completely unconstitutional such as sundown laws. Some states will pass preemptive laws that are conditional on a change in opinion from the supreme Court.

The people who wrote the constitution could have never imagined how it could be interpreted 250 years later.

It is a punishment in the form of public humiliation, taking your autonomy, and dehumanizing you. People will automatically assume you've done something wrong if you're in handcuffs.

The issue is that some laws make complete sense, but you can have an activist judge or the SC declare it unconstitutional. Legislatures are elected and they can't be expected to know how a law can be interpreted.

Even something as simple as a noise ordinance could be considered a first amendment violation in certain cases.

I live in Illinois, they passed an assault weapons ban last year. Of course the gun people claimed it was unconstitutional because of the 2nd amendment. It's not but someone tried to make that argument and there's a non-zero number of judges who would agree with them.

The first amendment doesn't stop politicians from acting in bad faith. There's no consequences for passing bad laws. Politicians often use this tactic to make headlines and make their opponents waste resources. The only thing politicians have to worry about is getting elected again.

This man has never set foot in an industrial site.

the not-uncommon tendency in a constrained budget environment to prioritize initiating new missions as opposed to maintaining and upgrading existing support assets has produced an infrastructure that would not be viewed as acceptable under most industrial standards,

NORMAL — Rivian Automotive is investigating the cause of a fire that damaged vehicles in a parking lot at its campus on the community's west side.

The company's manufacturing plant was unaffected, said Kelli Felker, corporate communications senior manager.

"We are investigating the cause of a fire that damaged a number of vehicles in a parking lot at our Normal plant late Saturday night," Felker said in a statement shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday. "The plant itself is unaffected. At this time, we are not aware of any injuries."

A video circulating on social media late Saturday showed concentrated, bright orange flames in the lot outside the plant.

The Normal Fire Department confirmed that it responded to a fire at the Rivian campus, but could not immediately provide more information.

Emergency vehicles were still at the scene as of 12:20 a.m.

Rivian employs more than 8,000 workers at its manufacturing operations in Normal, where all of the company's electric pickup trucks, SUVs and commercial delivery vans are produced.
