Actually no, qualified immunity shields them personally. A tortured precedent, if the exact situation has not happened and been sued on it gets thrown out, or some ridiculous thing like that.

    Qualified immunity can be stripped. It's not absolute. Constitutional violations are absolutely grounds for losing qualified immunity.

    In theory or what? Last I heard they were virtually immune. Courts are getting worse, not better too, and judges decide.

    Judges are appointed for life; there's really no reason why they would match lock step with Trumps orders. Yes they're conservative (not all of them), but I don't believe they're going to break the law or compromise their integrity for Trump.

    Are you for real? You do know about the federalist society? They groom them from law school, picking the ones less likely to come down with patriotism.

    It has not been like you describe since idk when, the 70s really.

    And the left didn't do the exact same thing for their judges? Y'all are all just incorruptible while the right are spawn of Satan or something?....

    The left? The left is nowhere near power. I am having trouble hearing you from inside the ass of the billionaires there.

    Bro, left dominates higher education. The idea that there's some conservative cabal brainwashing law students is hilarious.

    It isn't a secret about the federalist society, never has been at least that part of it. You are trying to argue established fact, if I wanted to do that I would find some conservatives online to call them out for lying about executing american citizens under false pretext, as if that's an acceptable precedent to set, that doesn't fly in the face of everything those traitors claim to believe in.

    And the left has the American Constitution Society, big whoop; the right and the left aren't doing anything that the otherside isn't doing as well.

    Your profile has disgusting comments, endorsing the execution of protesters, pretending to believe the false pretexts told to justify it.

    Which is a betrayal of the constitution and laws, a betrayal of the country, and shows a real lack of understanding and historical perspective to endorse the government being able to summarily execute citizens on the streets. If for real, only a weak mind would fall that deep into the arguments of cynical influencers turning people against their country and fellow citizens, no?

    Well by all means attack the person over the argument.

    Imagine researching a random stranger on the internet looking for a gotcha.

    It's not surprising you think assessing the credibility of people making incendinary comments is not proper. That would help explain why you continue to pretend to believe the administration in their concerted efforts to overthrow the republic and replace it with a fascist kakistocracy. It would help explain why you would think such a thing would be good for you too perhaps, if you are for real.

    Thats a naive take considering all the ridiculous rulings coming from SCOTUS, the highest court in the land.
