"Lawsuit challenges prosecutors' immunity"

The Supreme Court has ruled that "absolute immunity" is needed so that prosecutors -- and judges -- can do their jobs without fear of legal retaliation.

But a California case that the high court is considering taking could open a back door for such lawsuits.

It’s about time!

These are the same people who will not hesitate to aggressively prosecute a questionable case for their own ends. This is the same group who will rail against the integrity of their targets in the press to try and force a settlement before trial. These vindictive people will go out of their way punish those who exercise their right to a trial by jury or who refuse to become an agent of the state.

And they do this with immunity that only rewards and encourages this behavior.

It’s about time they are held accountable for their actions, just like they demand of everyone else.
