Eight judges sounded the alarm Thursday about a 9th Circuit sovereign immunity case they say could open the floodgates for claims against the government. The judges issued a dissent after failing to secure enough votes to force en banc review of a ruling that a pilot could sue the government for sharing his HIV status among several federal agencies. "The effect of today's order is to open wide the United States Treasury to a whole new class of claims without warrant," Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain wrote in the dissent.
