    Qualified Immunity is illegal according to the law (§1983) as was passed by Congress in 1871, not as was illegally revised by a Southern Revisionist when they “copied” the law from the Congressional Record into the Federal Register in 1874.

    President Grant referenced the law when he got pulled over for “speeding on a horse within the city limits of Washington DC,” for the third time in his life in 1872. The other two were in 1866 when he was a lowly General. The officer attempted to let him go when he saw who he pulled over, and Grant said “Congress just passed a law about this, even The President isn’t above The Law, neither are you. Write me the ticket.”
