As a private citizen you’re acting on your own behalf and discretion?

Here I can’t sue mr Amash if I disagree with his bill, but I can sue him as a private citizen if he violates my civil rights as a person.

The immunity enjoyed by Legislators is similar to but distinct from the Qualified Immunity enjoyed by government employees.

In the case of Federal Legislators, their immunity is written into the constitution explicitly.

No such explicit provision exists for government employees.
