Supreme Court declines to hear cases over qualified immunity
It's time for legislators to legislate. Many of our current problems can be traced back to our legislature failing to do anything. They always rely on court rulings or executive power. Usually because everyone is scared of losing their next election or their future role at a cable news organization. Even the people that do put forth legislation often poison pill it, so that it will never pass. So they'll never have to be held accountable if it fails or have their name on the vote count.<p>I know it sounds counter intuitive, but I think getting rid of the line item veto has helped to cripple Congress even more. Because it used to absolved members and let them vote for something they didn't like, knowing it would not make it into law.
