ThePieReborn 06/03/20 2:04:37 PM #3:	A very uphill battle, to say the least. I'm not entirely sold on total abolishment (I've had experiences both defending clients via qualified immunity and attacking defendants' assertions of qualified immunity in court cases), but I do think the "violated clearly established law" requirement should be substantially dialed back in strictness. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! <cite>ThePieReborn posted [p:940127380] in Senate Dem...

Balrog0 06/03/20 2:05:06 PM #4:	I mean I'm a little surprised they did it at all. I have a pretty low estimation of how valuable protests are but I'm more than happy to be wrong and eat crow. --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:940127394] in Senate Dem...

Lol, why are they taking Amash's thunder Hes a Rep, not a Senator, and it needs to pass both houses of Congress before going to the president. I know, but I guess I'm mainly curious why they didn't just work with him in this case to introduce it. I mean, it doesn't matter who starts it, it still has to go through both houses --- Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er <cite>emblem boy posted [p:940127650] in Senate Dem...

I wasn't aware they'd ever done this kinda legislation before, though Im certain it won't pass in this Congress [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I mean we have protests all the time that don't work dude. I guess it depends what you're looking for, though. UnfairRepresent posted... They know it won't pass the senate Yeah but it's still something, or at least I thought it was, I guess if they try this from time to time and fail it's less meaningful --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:940127807] in Senate Dem...

We still don't know but I'm okay with admitting I've underestimated them you know, I wasn't shy about that so I shouldn't be shy about probably being wrong lol --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:940128936] in Senate Dem...
