Evergreen reminder that #qualifiedimmunity was never enacted into law, isn’t in the constitution anywhere, and isn’t part of the originalist tradition, either. It was literally just made up by the Supreme Court— in the Civil Rights Era. And it only developed into its modern form where the officer has no requirement to be reasonable or even acting in good faith in the EIGHTIES. The modern #QI regime is younger than I am. We can and have functioned fine without it.
