Unqualified Immunity?

After another SCOTUS summary reversal of a Qualified Immunity denial, Jay Schweikert (Cato Institute) discusses what he sees as the doctrine's suspect legal grounding and the adverse policy implications of its increasingly pro forma application, and Professor James Pfander (Pritzker School of Law) describes how QI's application stagnates constitutional tort law doctrine, and how nominal damage claims could provide a solution.
