    What is missed in the debate about ending or weakening qualified immunity is the big payoff for the plaintiff’s bar if it happens. Remember, they can recover fees as prevailing parties in 1983 cases. Follow the money.

    The secret behind the debate is how the plaintiff’s bar will benefit the most from weakening of doing away with qualified immunity. Remember, they can recover fees if they are the prevailing party in 1983 lawsuit.
