        They probably don’t know about it, but shit like that has happened.

        http://web.archive.org/web/20230520080201/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/15/us/politics/qualified-immunity-supreme-court.html

      And possibly put somewhere it’s easily explained with the entirety of the text included. That would be so hard to do…

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_States

      And…
