Hmm out of curiosity, what's the current status of that law?

It's still in the congressional record, but in 1874 an unnamed secretary, I believe had Southern Revisionist views, unilaterally revised the law, so it has been improperly copied into the Federal Register ever since.

Police immunity is another interesting angle I hadn't thought of. I was thinking about whether it was relevant to the recent supreme Court ruling, maybe even some ammo for impeachment if they directly contradicted a law with their ruling.
