Will, how has his resignation opened him to litigation for acts done while he was in office? Either he's got sovereign immunity or not. The timing of the suit has nothing to do with his liability. If (and that's a big if) any offenses were committed during his tenure, he has the same immunity as every other Cabinet-level official for acts and decisions during his tenure.
I'm glad he's gone, although it opens the military to more scrutiny now for their actions, but this suit has about 0% of actually succeeding. US civilians detained by the US military while in combat situations don't exactly have the same rights as they do here.
