An extraordinarily important legal decision just dropped, and no one is talking about it

“It has received scant media attention, but it is a very big deal.

In a decision praised by legal scholars for its "power and beauty," Reeves establishes why the doctrine of qualified immunity, which can protect law enforcement officials sued for misconduct, is "unsupportable as a matter of history, text, and policy."

Reeves calls on the #SupremeCourt to acknowledge its mistake and eliminate the doctrine of qualified immunity entirely.”
