Wish I could tell you who is going to end up footing that bill. Right now, it seems to be on the family.

So I think that you and I are basically saying the same thing in terms of the awfulness of qualified immunity but it’s worth describing the phenomenon accurately.
May 23, 2025 at 7:12 PM
There’s a ton that can and should be done to keep qualified immunity from protecting awful governmental actors and some of that work happens in courtrooms because of lawsuits.

Not defending qualified immunity to be clear! But to say that it’s illegal to sue government actors like ICE agents, cops, judges, child welfare workers etc. is misleading. If qualified immunity applies, you won’t win a lawsuit, but its applicability gets decided because you sue!

Qualified immunity doesn’t mean that you can’t sue but it makes it very, very hard, but not impossible, to win.
