Regardless of the specifics of these cases, does anyone else see a slippery slope in being able to sue a specific member of the government for the "consequences" of their acts while performing their duties? I guess I envision, 5 years from now, the courts being flooded with "Obamacare killed grannie so I am suing (former) President Obama." ...shit like that.
Then again, if the soldiers can be sued for doing soldier duties (I think that happened, but not sure), why not the politicians for doing political duties?
Hmmmm, I don't know how I feel about this yet.
