"while the courts judge if they are followed or not."

Or in the case of qualified immunity, create it out of thin air.

It's not created out of thin air. There is a lot of reasoning and background on it. Whether I agree with it or like it is entirely different.

I can reason about something all I want, but it doesn't make it the law.
