Immunity

A particular privilege; having no liability. No court shall take cognizance of an action in law for damages arising out of a delegation of authority, with certain exceptions. A delegate acting within his delegation of authority is immune from suit for damages resultant thereby except as a result of negligence. A judge acting within his delegated powers by all the litigants is immune from suit, except for abuse of discretion, or upon an allegation of corruption. Jurors are immune from suit from parties coming before them except for breach of oath, and likewise, juries are immune from governmental action.

Government officials can claim sovereign immunity but only to the citizens. They are immune from the efforts of the citizens but not of the other sovereignties that are higher than them. For example, they are not immune to a Title 42 Section 1983 lawsuit based on civil rights. You don’t have to make a prior claim to the government, you can sue them directly. They are under the federal sovereignty under those particular issues. That’s constitutionally defined, that the federal law is the higher law. When you are sovereign you are also above the state. If you are truly sovereign you can make up any fiction you want, any kind of rule system. The common law is just one way of doing things. We go to the common law for one simple reason; if you look at the Constitution, the common law is recognized by the United States and will be enforced for you. If you have an issue that arises under the Constitution, you can then use the common law to enforce it because the Constitution says the judicial power of the United States shall apply to all cases in law and equity that arise under the Constitution. Law = Common Law

They can prosecute persons but not people.
