It seems completely illogical and against congressional intent to argue that employees who do nothing wrong have to defend themselves in state court while employees who might have done something get immunity and the US defends itself in federal court.

There are twists and turns and a lot of twisting of definitions in this case. Part of the strangeness is probably because of past precedents and trying to force things to happen certain ways.

I expect the Justices will try to craft a decision that results in a Government win on this one.
