Qualified Immunity is the root issue since it extends to all government workers, the elected officials as well as the officers and adminstrators, and the weirdest thing is that QI is actually illegal under the original wording of statute 1983 of The Federal Code. It just got illegally modified in 1874 by an archivist, and no one noticed until recently. If you look up section 1983 in The Congressional Record of 1871 it has 16 words that weren’t copied into The Federal Register in 1874. The modified law was what was presented to the 1982 SCOTUS in Harlow V Fitzgerald. They made a mistake, and even questioned why the 1871 Congress was so clear about everything except the clause that was removed illegally.
