There Is No "Absolute Immunity," Damnit! [View all]

If there were, the ICE monsters could simply shoot everyone they suspected was an illegal immigrant and kill them. Obviously, they are not doing that, because they have no such "absolute immunity." It's very difficult for states to prosecute federal law enforcers who are enforcing federal laws. Not impossible, but very difficult.

In a just world, the Federal Government would prosecute such excesses of zeal that result in the deaths of civilians. The DOJ should prosecute. The FB:I should investigate fairly and without prejudice. The Federal Courts should have the trials and rule according to the law. That, sadly, is no longer happening. So, I don't know what the recourse is.

I do know that there is no such thing as "Absolute Immunity" for federal law enforcement personnel. Never has been. Never will be. Qualified Immunity, yes, but that's a completely different thing. J. D. Vance is a patent idiot. He knows nothing about such laws. Donald J. Trump is also ignorant of the law and simply says anything that comes to his mind.
