A federal judge cleared the way for bureaucrats personally to be held accountable and open to legal action.
The decisions left bureaucrats open to be personally responsible for their actions on the job and they could be sued as individuals.
For example the court wrote, "When government officials violate citizens' clearly established First Amendment rights, however, we will not apply the doctrine of qualified immunity to defeat a remedy of damages to which the citizens are entitled under Bivens." para #92

So the government employees had better be respectful of inalienable rights lest they be held personally and individually accountable and lose their assets.
