This is a partial theory question because it will never happen, but since so many folks are gung ho to remove sovereign immunity from our nations LEO's (notice they don't do it to the FBI), would it be possible for remove sovereign immunity to all state and federal officials?
Congress has the power and has already waived sovereign immunity such as the 1946 passage of the Federal Tort Claims Act.
From a purely practical standpoint, abolishing sovereign immunity altogether would have a bad result as the court system would be overwhelmed.
I am baffled by Amero's decision in some respects, particularly how short sighted it is and doubt it would be extended to other cases besides an election related case. And I have repeatedly bemoaned the state of our election laws as being an unholy mess seemingly never able to provide a remedy, in this case just a simple declaratory judgment saying somebody screwed up, to address lawlessnes and fraud in our elections. Sovereign immunity is just a very small part of the problems in election laws.
ETA: The next move will be the individual respondents added by the judge will assert their "official" sovereign immunity and no direct causation to the issues raised about the ballots.
