Sovereign Immunity

A lot of commentators, who don't understand the REASON prosecutors are immune from civil damages during the course of their duties, are bitching and moaning about a case put before the USSC regarding prosecutorial misconduct.

Hopefully the high court throws this nonsense out.

The courts are backed up enough without garbage lawsuits filed against public employees.
