Qualified Immunity

[Grimscale]

Yes this is from wikipedia:
In the United States, qualified immunity is a legal principle that grants government officials performing discretionary functions immunity from civil suits unless the plaintiff shows that the official violated "clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known"


With the blatant statements by heil hochul and other lawmakers in NY, IMHO, this should clearly be outside of "qualified immunity" for lawmakers. Wouldn't this open them all up to class action lawsuits for their civil rights violations?

We can dream of them getting prosecuted..BUT we know the odds of that...the Bills will win a Super Bowl before that happens...

I agree with you. She essentially said she doesn’t care and knows it’s unconstitutional but we’re going to push the limits anyway. She should be sued.

I agree with you. She essentially said she doesn’t care and knows it’s unconstitutional but we’re going to push the limits anyway. She should be immediately removed from office and remanded into custody.

I think you meant to say this.

I think she'd be well deserving of a civil suit but I'll expect to see Hillary locked up first.
