Date: January 8th, 2026 7:27 PM Author: Deranged fishy affirmative action pit i have no idea if absolute immunity applies to the MN killing.
in general, though, the question of whether something is in the scope does not turn on whether policy was violated. |

Date: January 8th, 2026 8:26 PM Author: Deranged fishy affirmative action pit that's the entire point, and the power, of absolute immunity. there is no need to decide whether a judge or legislator who is following policy should get immunity.
the entire issue arises when a judge or legislator is doing their job and massively errs. |

Date: January 8th, 2026 8:33 PM Author: Deranged fishy affirmative action pit i'm not sure you and i are focusing on the key issue.
absolute immunity becomes an issue when someone arguably fucks up. it doesn't become an issue when someone follows policy.
so if a judge makes a massively erroneous ruling but wasn't bribed, etc., then it was within the scope of the job but was outside policy -- and the judge gets absolute immunity. |

Date: January 8th, 2026 11:21 PM Author: Deranged fishy affirmative action pit absolute immunity is quite rare, as i understand it.
qualified immunity is more common, but even there it is broadly applied. cons have wanted to trim back or even decimate QI but libs have opposed that. |

Date: January 8th, 2026 11:38 PM Author: Frum Razzmatazz Mediation I'm stupid so please bear with me: if there's a written agency policy that says "don't shoot moving vehicles," but an agency official shoots into a moving a vehicle, can the agency official still claim he was acting within the scope of his duties?

Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."
