Lawrence, Andrew, thanks for being here! I really appreciated your qualified immunity study, and have been disappointed to see the Supreme Court dodge QI cases. I have a lot of questions, and would be grateful for any answers, so don't feel like you have to answer all of them in your response!
Most of the talk about qualified immunity has been around police officers using it to get away with awful stuff. But QI protects other public officials too (who also do some awful stuff sometimes). Earlier this year, the House introduced a bill that would eliminate QI for just police officers - is this an approach you support, or do you think a repeal of QI for all public officials is better?
If Congress eliminated qualified immunity, would you want to see it replaced by another standard of immunity for police officers / public officials, like a good faith standard?
How is Amy Barrett's record on QI?
Lastly, any thoughts on absolute immunity for prosecutors?
