There are obviously things where it becomes completely immaterial if something happened by error. Depriving someone of their constitutional rights is most certainly one of these.
The only remedy can be to handle these cases as if intentional, such as to rectify the processes that allowed it to happen.
Look at page 9 of the ruling, the VGTOF form. It shows checkboxes, which any human being can reasonably interpret as boolean values. But the intent is negated! It asks you to check those lists that you do NOT want someone entered in (so true (checked) becomes false (not in list)). This is terrible style in programming, it is completely unacceptable in forms that brand you a terrorist.
(Regardless, someone needs to be fired for the $4M alone that will be going to plaintiff to cover their costs. Theres error, and then theres refusing to fix them.)
