I hope AG Paxton responds: “Depravation of Rights Under Color of Law,” and reminds them of the penalties for doing so.

See my post 493 upthread.
That “warning” would be moot.
For 2 reasons (1) 18USC242 is the purview of the DOJ Fedzilla, not in Paxton’s arena. (2) The State regulates business, 18USC242 protect civil rights.
Luther was re-opening her *business* against the orders (without permission).

There are plenty of “shall not operate” rules in effect in every day business.
The emergency order was another.

Qualified Immunity, like Judicial Immunity, is a post Constitutional *invention*.

The rationale, supposedly, was that if government workers were allowed to be sued, they'd never get anything done.

That doesn't seem to have stopped Microsoft or Coca-Cola or Nike.

...what it would require, is government only hiring non-union, non-patronage, non "check the diversity box" people, who are
honest
and competent
and motivated
and conscientious

Obviously, the SWAMP can't have that! How could they reward their cronies while lording it over the rest of us (which is also unconstitutional)?
