That's not how this works.
The government cannot have "liability" for action or inaction because of sovereign immunity. No private person can sue the state without the state's permission.
The rule is default deny. There is legislation that allows you to sue the government in specific, narrow circumstances, but nothing really relevant to this situation. I'm sure someone will try anyway, but the suit will certainly be dismissed.

Perhaps not "liable" in the official lawyer sense but expensive settlements paid by the states are definitely fair game.

- staticman2 6y agoThe post you replied to was correct. Your reply shows you didn't understand it. I suggest you look up sovereign immunity if you want to learn more.
