#SadoMiller does not have #Federalimmunity - even for himself - let alone the #BountyHinters and #ICE #goons on the streets. If you violate #HumanRights or commit #WarCrimes you WILL be #Prosecuted. That’s why they cover their faces.

4. My @ij.org colleague Anya and I discuss the history and curious relationship between #FederalImmunity & #QualifiedImmunity.

QI was created in a Bivens case.

Ever since, QI has grown; Bivens has shrunk.

There's no way to defend this as anything but judicial policymaking.

1. Acting SG Sarah Harris was counsel in Egbert v. Boule, where #SCOTUS eviscerated Bivens and enshrined #FederalImmunity as the rule.

According to SCOTUS (and Harris), if Congress doesn't provide a statutory cause of action, you can't enforce your constitutional rights.

The federal gov't has taken the unusual step of filing an uninvited cert-stage amicus in Goldey v. Fields, asking #SCOTUS to expand #FederalImmunity - here, to ensure there's no remedy for excessive force against prison inmates.

I have a lot of thoughts, but here are 5.

At @ij.org, I litigate against the many immunity doctrines that stand between you and your constitutional rights - things like #QualifiedImmunity, #FederalImmunity, and #ProsecutorialImmunity.

If we have to follow the law, the gov't has to follow the Constitution.

We have a cool new webpage for @IJ.org’s Project on Immunity & Accountability. Launched just 5 years ago to combat doctrines like #QualifiedImmunity and #FederalImmunity, IJ's already litigated dozens of cases across the U.S., including 3 at #SCOTUS.
