BOTCH JOB: The Fifth Circuit just yanked a federal judge off a Mississippi anti-DEI case after finding his orders were riddled with fabricated facts, an AI-hallucinated case citation, and what the appeals court called deliberate manipulation of Supreme Court precedent. Judge Henry Wingate's temporary restraining order listed 11 plaintiffs who were never part of the case, named two wrong defendants, cited declarations from people who "may not even exist," and referenced language that doesn't appear anywhere in the actual law. He quietly replaced the order two days later after state officials flagged the errors — but even the corrected version contained a citation to a nonexistent case that the Fifth Circuit identified as an apparent AI hallucination. The appeals court vacated Wingate's preliminary injunction blocking the law and ordered the case reassigned to a new judge — a move the panel itself called "extraordinary" and "rarely invoked." Judge Jerry Smith wrote that Wingate "carelessly exercised his Article III power by issuing sloppy edicts based on falsehoods and fabrications." Full story here foxnews.com/politics/federal…
