    Which is the only legal remedy you’ll ever get against qualified immunity btw. There has to be a specific procedure for this that has been unmistakenly violated.

          If we can get it to the SCOTUS, they may overturn QI. The law in question got copied wrong when they copied it from the congressional record into the federal register. Had the 1982 court been handed the law as passed, the 16 word clause that got omitted would have caused Harlow v Fitzgerald to go the other way.

          Hand them the original text, and they’ll have to overturn that decision.
