How is this even a Federal issue, Mr. So-Called-Libertarian? Want to change qualified immunity, take it up with the state legislatures.

Qualified immunity is a doctrine created by federal courts, which applies only to federal cases under 42 U.S.C. 1983 (suits against state officers for violating federal constitutional rights).

Thanks for injecting facts. Qualified immunity needs to go.
