Mmmm, if we polled the leadership of the Democratic Party or Democratic elected officials, I think you'd find that nearly 100% of them support qualified immunity or, if they express lack of support, are nevertheless unwilling to act against it.
Same with the Republican Party. So I have no idea which party you are referring to that has "caught up with reality". Certainly there's a segment of mostly-Democratic voters who oppose QI, but... they aren't represented among leadership at all.
- ashtonkem 6y agoThere’s a bill in Congress now to end QI, it has support among democratic Congress people and Justin Amash. I would personally count that as leadership not supporting QI.
- ianleeclark 6y agoIt's perfectly safe to support something like this in the moment, as it can't pass the Senate or avoid being vetoed.
- ashtonkem 6y agoThen what, pray tell, are you suggesting?
