Yes.

Supremes' "Immunity" only applies to criminal. This would be civil.

Possibly added punitive damages. (Punitive damages are monetary awards in civil cases that are intended to punish a defendant for extreme, malicious, or reckless misconduct and to deter similar future actions by that defendant and others. Unlike compensatory damages, which aim to reimburse the plaintiff for their losses, punitive damages go beyond compensation to penalize egregious behavior, often involving oppression, fraud, or malice.)

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
