      We really need to get them to review Harlow V Fitzgerald, and present them with the full text of section 1983 with the 16 missing words, as the 1871 Congress passed that law.

        I don’t know much about that, but if that would get rid of qualified immunity for police then I concur.

          That’s the case that caused QI in 1982. The 16 missing words explicitly outlaw any sort of immunity for any government officials.

          Well the case I referenced occurred in 1982, but I think it was mainly because no one took the time to look at the Congressional Record, and compare it to the text in the Federal Register.
