Having to raise 10 issues on appeal made me stop to ask if maybe we were the crazy ones. So when the second question was which of the trial court’s errors did I think was most serious, I had to stop myself from grinning.

I also think Citizens United was broader because of the government’s disastrous first argument. Though perhaps both of these examples merely reinforce the dictum that you can’t win a case at oral argument, but you can lose one.
Check out this excerpt from a recent CA6 brief. I honestly can't think of another legal doctrine besides maybe "separate but equal" that has come under more sustained, more powerful, and more morally compelling criticism than qualified immunity.

@FreeRangeLawyer On the policy side, two things always bugged be about non-competes back in my law firm days: (1) They can't limit competition for . . . lawyers. (2) Most non-competes were obviously written for deterrence with little-to-no expectation they would be (fully) enforceable.
