SCOTUS Hears Case That Could Shield All Federal Employees from Damages
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this morning in Nielsen v. Watanabe. The case was brought by Kekai Watanabe, who alleges that after being brutally assaulted in a federal prison and while in 10-out-of-10 pain, a government nurse told him “to stop being a crybaby” and refused to send him to the hospital. Mr. Watanabe’s coccyx was broken. Untreated for years, the bone chips migrated into his soft tissue. Mr. Watanabe filed a federal lawsuit. The nurse has responded by asking the Supreme Court to grant him — and everyone else in the federal government — sweeping immunity from monetary damages.

The Cato Institute filed an amicus brief supporting Mr. Watanabe. Matthew Cavedon, Director of Cato’s Project on Criminal Justice, said: “Where there’s a right, there’s a remedy. The People who adopted the Constitution knew money damages were available from those who wronged them, even if they worked for the federal government. The People of today are entitled to no less.”
