PEARSON ET AL. v. CALLAHAN

The supreme court just reversed Saucier v. Katz 2 step process for determining qualified immunity to government agents in rights violation lawsuits.

Read the opinion and tell me if the USSC just gave law enforcement agents super immunity in rights violation lawsuits or if they placed the power of lower court judges the authority to determine 'on their own' without a two step process to deny qualified immunity as those judges see fit.
