To be clear, qualified immunity is entirely a judicial branch legal principle, and not a law that was passed by the legislative branch.

If laws are created in this space than the judicial legal principle MUST to be reworked/updated/changed to accommodate it. The law is a higher priority.

There IS a law (Section 1983), which stood whole for almost a century, before the Supreme Court largely gutted by inventing this legal principal out of thin air.
