Judges Above the Law in Rights Controversy Over Immunity
The Supreme Court refused to hear a case upholding judicial immunity for a judge who jailed a Miami woman for contempt. The Fifth Circuit upheld Mary Lou Robinson's ruling, declaring judges immune from liability for judicial acts, a stance critics call a dangerous erosion of due process and constitutional guarantees. The case, sparked by a private dispute and pursued by the Texas Civil Liberties Union, centers on civil rights violations rather than prominent figures.
