Unfortunately, the accountability that Congress sought to achieve remains largely unrealized. This is, in large part, because of court decisions applying and expanding legal protections for defendants through the doctrine of qualified immunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Section 1983 originated from the unwillingness of state officials to protect and enforce the constitutional rights of African Americans after the Civil War. During this period, the Ku Klux Klan and its allies used racial violence and terror to undo the gains of Reconstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

Notably, the text of Section 1983 says nothing about qualified immunity, nor is it written in the Constitution. Qualified immunity subverts the very purpose of Section 1983 and denies justice to victims of state-sponsored abuse. — PolitiTweet.org
