Supreme Court of the United States

Reichle v. Howards — Ginsburg, J., Concurring

June 4, 2012132 S. Ct. 2088

Summary

Justice Ginsburg concurs in the judgment, arguing that the no-probable-cause requirement from Hartman v. Moore does not apply to retaliatory arrest claims because arresting officers are not wholly immune. However, she agrees with the majority because Secret Service agents protecting public officials must make swift decisions regarding immediate threats to safety.
