🧵Holy smokes! Conservative 5th Cir. Judge Ho, writes dubitante* in Wearry v. Foster to criticize #QualifiedImmunity, #ProsecutorialImmunity, and #Monell. In Wearry, a prosecutor fabricated evidence to put Foster on death row.

Judge Ho illustrates the immunity shell game that frequently kills meritorious civil rights claims. And he rightly explains that #ProsecutorialImmunity has no legitimate basis in American law. 2/4
Ho correctly places the problems of #ProsecutorialImmunity, #QualifiedImmunity, and #Monell at the Supreme Court's feet. Those are judicially created, legally unjustified doctrines. The Courts, not Congress, should therefore be the first place for recourse. 3/4
