Hello. Read Saucier v Katz and Pearson v Callahan supreme court precedent on immunity. Any government officials violating a clearly established constitutional right have no immunity. Great read. Enforcement of that precedent, now that would be interesting.
Qualified immunity gives the police more rights than the public are able to possess and makes them almost untouchable. A federal officer IS untouchable and surpasses ALL rights that the public can possess. Tell me again how the law sees everyone equally and no one is above it.
Tax exemption gives religious organizations more rights than you and I the taxpayer have the entire system is upside down and twisted if you were a normal upstanding citizen you were just screwed six ways to Sunday every day on Tuesday
When accountability cannot be had in a courtroom, it will be sought outside of a courtroom. In other words, when a judge says you have no recourse in law, that does not mean you have NO recourse. It simply means the alternative is recourse that lays outside the law.
I've been putting it this way. Lawyers like to joke "Justice? Sure. How much justice can you afford?" This is America. You can get a gun for under 500 dollars. It's like they want use to use the alternative recourse.
Any law denying citizens rights is unlawful and should be null and void. Preventing citizens from holding your government accountable is unlawful and unconstitutional. This should be the only argument nessessary to overturn government protecting government law's. Public service employees shouldn't receive any kind of immunity doing their jobs because if they need immunity they aren't doing their jobs
I love how if US citizens' constitution rights and freedoms are violated by government officials, we can sue them. However, if we win, the lawsuit is by our tax dollars. We lose either way. They have NO personal consequences.
This times a million. I started thinking this after cases of complete cowardice like Uvalde and Parkland (since Article 99 exists), but then I started thinking we need it because following orders is not an excuse in the UCMJ, yet government officials keep hiding behind bad laws and "policies."
It’s really concerning that the courts can make up rules that protect themselves and law enforcement that aren’t actual laws. It seems that these rules in themselves are unlawful and unconstitutional. How do we have a judicial system of law when justice isn’t distributed equally?
Best comment I've read so far. Exactly right! The constitution is the promise by the government that they won't violate your rights. Immunity is the government's promise that they will violate your rights and give you no remedy.
No government employee should be provided immunity from prosecution or liability for their actions.Congress's law too keep federal officer's from lawsuits is unconstitutional. It prevents citizens rights to hold their government accountable and this is unlawful
I think everyone needs to realize ( if they don't already) that those in a "Governmental position" don't really care about the "Constitution." It's about "Risk." Is it worth the "risk" to violate someone's constitutional rights. Those in government already realize that most people can not afford or even know there's a remedy available. The "government" created the game, and they set the rules, almost always in their favor! They have ten attorneys to your one ( that you can't afford) who knows the game and the rules. They know this! Those who have the knowledge and the financial abilities to take on the "government " are usually the only ones who can succeed. They know this! Those people are made whole very quickly, and without much fanfare. We, the people, created our Representative Republic, and we are the ones who must enforce the protections afforded by the Constitution. Unfortunately, not enough of the people are willing to take on this task, and those that do risk retaliation, in one form or another. Look at what's happening today! This video from the Institute for Justice clearly shows that their attorneys have realized this! It's going to be very difficult to impossible to have constitutional protection in today's world! It's up to all of us to affect a change.
Go IJ, thank you. This mess is prime example of why there is a lack of trust, even at 100%, for judicial on the face, unacceptable enforcement or outcomes. What ever happened to the 9th Ammendment. Living under perceived enforceable policies established under federal or state agencies, has become an excuse for all Federal, State and local branches to not perform thier jobs. This forces citizens to waste resources and live under fear of retaliation for a litany of the unknown. Is this really what was intended.
This conversation is the exact same conversation we have been having in Pennsylvania about the sunshine act. The enforcement of it is through lawsuits, but there is no way for attorneys to get their fees back except through their clients. None of the non-profits are willing to handle the cases. So only the wealthy can handle a lawsuit or two at the most if they want to actually go forward. So every agency is effectively able to do whatever they want with little chance of repercussions. Wish you all would take on this issue.
Could the fundings of state and federal lawsuits parallel the legal similarities of the taxpayers' unsolicited support of "city-local government" lawsuits and payouts as legal entities to courts' findings for Costs justices?
It seems unconstitutional, and definitely violates our inhearant natural rights that ANY individual who does you wrong that in some way takes something from you, tangible or intangible, cannot be held accountable themselves. These individuals MUST be held to account, whether they are government employees, elected officials, contractors or ANY kind of status representing the interests of government. The notion of Qualified Immunity or any statute which prohibits legal action or affords protection should be considered as unconstitutional in itself.
They justify violating the 4th amendment by imposing a form of martial law, such as the emergency medical act and nobody ever rescinds it. The two things that never made any sense about Trump during his presidency was that he never rescinded the medical emergency act and even though he got rid of NAFTA as he promised, he replaced it with USMCA, a treaty, a trade alliance between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada that SUPERCEDES the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights and replaces it with International Corporate Law. This is exactly what Hillary Clinton wanted to impose upon U.S. Citizens as soon as she entered the White House. However, Clinton was defeated, but her globalistic plan lives on both in the White House and in the U.S. Capitol. This is why both the southern and northern borders remain wide open. This is why eminent domain and buying up U.S farm land has become so prevalent. This is why gun confiscation of law abiding, freedom loving U.S. Citizens is becoming so common. The U.S. Congress no longer recognizes the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. Next time you talk to a Congressman or woman, ask them if they are loyal to and willing to defend, protect, and support the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. If the answer is yes, ask them how it is possible with USMCA and International Corporate Law. USMCA and International Corporate Law will enslave the American people. This nation will soon appear as though a tsunami had swept all human life from this land.
You should not be able to sue government employees for violating your rights, because they should be in jail. 18 USC 242 is pretty clear, it just isn't used.
@@joehannah1343Like the 2a? All that needs done is people form a committe, vote and swear in a posse, delegate the enforcement duty to them and send them out to enforce it.
Thank you and all of yall at the institute for justice for standing up for Americans who would otherwise have no voice in our judicial system. Yall are truly heroes.
The founding fathers knew that it would be rats in government that would become the biggest threat, that’s why the 2nd amendment is so unambiguous. It might as well say “due to the fact that all government falls to corruption, the right of the people to bare arms and clean house shall not be infringed.
How does the supreme Court justify protecting federal officials from justifiable lawsuits? I thought the constitution guaranteed equality? How can Congress make laws that contradict the constitution and how can the supreme Court nullify the spirit and intention of that constitution?
They didn't .read Saucier v Katz and Pearson v Callahan. We the people have to help the supreme court out. It's up to us. Lets start with the second amendment. Any government official infringing on the second amendment file suit citing saucier v katz and pearson v Callahan . Use heller,mcdonald and bruen as your precedent setting cases. Go for it. 605 dollars at the district court of your state and we're on our way. hope alls well with you and yours
It's insane that we the people allow the criminals within our government to get away with this crap. At any level from the city to the state to even the Federal government, the heads of these agencies and or the executive leadership over them could have stepped in and ordered that just compensation be paid. Or comma they could have just not fought These cases And spent millions of taxpayers dollars To fight For Injustice. The voters should hold accountable each of the elected officials that allow this crap to stand and continue. I wonder if AJ doesn't need a political action branch, where they can go out and remind the voters of what various politicians allowed to happen under their watch.
As a sitting county commissioner in 2016, the commission passed a ordinance claiming I violated both ordinace and administrative regulation. Yet never said what the violation was, nor was there ever a claim of a violation other than the ordinance. The fact that government retaliation happens to others in government is real and I'm glad you took up her case and just wish I had some way to redress my grievances.
AND they are double dipping and getting paid for being on these task forces. Maybe that's the way in? Maybe FOIA request to Controller asking for salary payments made to state/local law enforcement and prosecutors employees that are being ALSO paid with federal dollars.
I sued a federal official for arresting my client for First Amendment protected speech. The district judge said that he was entirely immune from any judicial remedy for violating the constitution (including bivens and declaratory judgment), didn't even reach the merits. This was not qualified immunity, just no cause of action (even equitable) for federal officers. Currently on appeal in the D.C. Circuit.
Why doesn't IJ and other legal organizations get the Westfall Act overturned as Unconstitutional and get rid of Sovereign Immunity???? I say that do to Time Text and Tradition standards like what is being used in Second Amendment cases under Bruen 18:47
So scary to think any one of us could be framed at any time. I don't feel safe anymore. At least there is a light at the end of the tunnel in the work of IJ, thank you ❤
What are they are state or federal officials they are being paid and employees of we the people. Supposed to be by consensual contract agreement after we are grown to maturity and taught what we need to know to be able to potentially consent to any type of agreement specially legal binding contract one
This is one of the best non-profit organizations that exists today. I NEVER ever donate money to 99.9999% of institutions but the Institute for Justice does the hard work that NO other organization will do - Sue the Federal Govt. They should be everyone's hero.
I would say that Federalization of State Law Enforcement Officials is a conflict of interest, and should be abolished. That would be a means of detangling immunity provisions.
I appreciate you guys very much. Thank you for trying to protect the innocent and help guard the public from tyranny! You guys need a big fat raise!!!!
This is close to me, I’m in Washington County, the county just east of Ramsey which Saint Paul is in. 2001 to 2006 I had area officers harass, threatening and finally trying to frame me in 2005 after I called the police on an ex police officer in 2001. I finally got it stopped by filing a complaint with the county attorney. Twice I was threatened with my truck being towed and one of those times was accused of stealing the tabs on my truck and I was threatened with arrest. Their campaign against me included people working at the Minnesota DMV where they were messing with my vehicle registration.
From Minnesota evidently not a damn thing I can do. Feds and county came into my house searched. No arrest. Til the talk to local police off to jail I go for bs. I will not conform with the USSA anymore
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you are doing to restore faith in the foundations our founding fathers fought for and what was laid out in our constitution.
Two cops stole thousands of dollars on a search. The were given immunity because there had been no case "just" like theirs had never been to court before -- so how could the poor cops know that they were committing a crime. IE the cops didn't know theft is wrong.
Give the government an inch and they'll take everything including your field, your house, your investments and your cash and call it civil assesset.Forfeiture.
If you cannot sue a federal official those officials are in an agency relationship with the federal government which means the federal government is responsible. The federal government did not properly train that official in their job.
This is an A M A Z I N G channel and I cannot believe that in the spur of a moment I not only; have just watched 2 different videos, 1 of them twice and will watch again later BUT... I am also going to more selectively target Congress men and women with letters dedicated to bill 1983 and the whole subject of "qualified immunity". I never knew any group as wonderful and necessary as yours existed. I always knew we needed one and felt that surely there was at least ONE attorney somewhere that thought so too. Thank you so much.
When and how may any or all U,S. Citizens avail themselves of Federal-one page designated Deputizations for the standings of Federal Recognition of a Sovereign Citizen?
This is why we need a law on the Federal books where purposefully or negligence of violating Citizens Constitutional Rights. If they do, at any level of government agency, agents, or employees will be charged with Federal Felony charges. If found guilty, all immunities are stripped and are open to civil law suites.
Never in a million years I would think to find such abusive law, in the United States of America, the leader if the free world, where some "federal official" is given immunity for any act committed against a citizen, even violating the Law of The Land, THE rule of law that keep us free, safe and with the posibility of pursuing our happiness... This makes us live in FEAR, instead of in happiness and prosperity.
I bought a warehouse heading for a tax sale in 2012. The original owner quitclaimed it to be, i negotiated with the bank and paid them off at a discounted rate. Paid $110,000 in delinquent taxes and lived like a pauper till the economy turned around. Turns out the city was going to grab the property for free and give it to one of the politicaly connected before the auction. Boy did i unknowingly piss them off. They made my life hell! The city even owns their own electric company and they cut my power and told me all new owners were required to install new lines underground before they'd hook me back up. Talked to several attorneys, nobody wanted to handle it because they said the city workers were unsuitable if they proclaimed they were incompetent and didn't know what they were doing.
I need help in K.C. Mo Accusations and baiting since age 10. I can't take it anymore. Thousands of attempts to make me a monster. Putting me places I've never been to. They say I speak several languages and am supposed to be a big tine criminal. Its insane.
PLEASE file a suit to remove qualified immunity from EVERY public servant, state and federal.
The day qualified immunity is removed would be the rebirth of our country
Have you looked at that maybe it should be flipped? By that, I mean that the government employee has to prove that he/she deserves it.
And then what? People bring suits against Judges and Officers.... TO THEN be judged by those SAME Judges, in courtrooms which they control.

Giving government no accountability is a great way to make the people get justice themselves.

I love Judge Green from WVA. He has gotten justice directly for over 300 years.

No government employee should have immunity to do whatever they want and get away with it.

Qualified immunity gives the police more rights than the public are able to possess and makes them almost untouchable. A federal officer IS untouchable and surpasses ALL rights that the public can possess. Tell me again how the law sees everyone equally and no one is above it.
Qualified immunity is a violation of the 14th amendment.

You've never heard of qualified immunity, have you?
The courts made these people immune
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you are doing to restore faith in the foundations our founding fathers fought for and what was laid out in our constitution.
Congress needs to change the laws about federal qualified immunity!
If a government official can violate your Rights with impunity, you don't really have those Rights.
equal justice under the law.... right? if it's NOT true then we have no justice at all
Two cops stole thousands of dollars on a search. The were given immunity because there had been no case "just" like theirs had never been to court before -- so how could the poor cops know that they were committing a crime. IE the cops didn't know theft is wrong.
The biggest problem is that the federal government has forgotten that it operates at the pleasure of the states and the people.
Ironically I work for someone named Sylvia and she's the mayor of all con artists.
Welcome to the USSA conformity is the new freedom. No such thing as a constitution if you don't have money.
Thank you for your ongoing efforts and fights! We love you!
How can I help teach Americas that its not true that " no one is above the law"
1st Amendment: "... and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Government: "Immunity!!! ROFLMAO!!!"
Give the government an inch and they'll take everything including your field, your house, your investments and your cash and call it civil assesset.Forfeiture.
Well... that grandmother did run a small town newspaper, and they raided that (and her home, etc), and that was unconstitutional...
The courts and politicians are protected by the police. It would be very hard to convince them to remove qualified immunity.
Without personal liability how can you hold anyone to account.
Can the 8th circuit judge who gave opposite rulings be sued? Can any judges be sued for wilfully misinterpreting laws and supreme court decisions?
Lol I know a couple thugs that would do life to hold ANYONE accountable
If you cannot sue a federal official those officials are in an agency relationship with the federal government which means the federal government is responsible. The federal government did not properly train that official in their job.
Outstanding job IJ!
I have heard nailing Jell-O to the wall is almost as impossible. IFJ did a great job battling this out in court for her.
This is an
A M A Z I N G channel and I cannot believe that in the spur of a moment I not only; have just watched 2 different videos, 1 of them twice and will watch again later BUT...
I am also going to more selectively target Congress men and women with letters dedicated to bill 1983 and the whole subject of "qualified immunity". I never knew any group as wonderful and necessary as yours existed. I always knew we needed one and felt that surely there was at least ONE attorney somewhere that thought so too. Thank you so much.
VOTE for constitutionalist.
are there any running?
Scary stuff! Thanks for your concern and hard work!
The fact that these cases even have to make it to the Supreme Court is insane 😢
There's one way, by zeroing out budgets.
Thank you for all the work you do
So, all i need to do is fill out some paperwork, and get immunity. So, then I can do no wrong.
When and how may any or all U,S. Citizens avail themselves of Federal-one page designated Deputizations for the standings of Federal Recognition of a Sovereign Citizen?
This is why we need a law on the Federal books where purposefully or negligence of violating Citizens Constitutional Rights. If they do, at any level of government agency, agents, or employees will be charged with Federal Felony charges. If found guilty, all immunities are stripped and are open to civil law suites.
Never in a million years I would think to find such abusive law, in the United States of America, the leader if the free world, where some "federal official" is given immunity for any act committed against a citizen, even violating the Law of The Land, THE rule of law that keep us free, safe and with the posibility of pursuing our happiness... This makes us live in FEAR, instead of in happiness and prosperity.
I bought a warehouse heading for a tax sale in 2012. The original owner quitclaimed it to be, i negotiated with the bank and paid them off at a discounted rate. Paid $110,000 in delinquent taxes and lived like a pauper till the economy turned around. Turns out the city was going to grab the property for free and give it to one of the politicaly connected before the auction.
Boy did i unknowingly piss them off. They made my life hell! The city even owns their own electric company and they cut my power and told me all new owners were required to install new lines underground before they'd hook me back up. Talked to several attorneys, nobody wanted to handle it because they said the city workers were unsuitable if they proclaimed they were incompetent and didn't know what they were doing.
So civil liability is gone. Let’s fight for criminal liability.
I need help in K.C. Mo
Accusations and baiting since age 10. I can't take it anymore. Thousands of attempts to make me a monster. Putting me places I've never been to. They say I speak several languages and am supposed to be a big tine criminal.
Its insane.
Move, Change your name, keep everything legal and keep records on everything. Don’t befriend ANY federal government worker. There Klingons.
The executive officers need o hold them accountable. Sadly the corrupt president and AG and FBI director are obstacles and support corrupt behaviors.
So, you can't sue a fed for denial of civil rights, which are there for restricting fed overreach??? Why even have a civil rights law???
Until qualified immunity is abolished, there will never be any accountability within any agency's..
