| | In that case, the agents of the State are not acting for the State or themselves; they are not acting at all. | | | Finally, exposure to liability for the judiciary's negligent disposition of suits would greatly impair the ability of the courts to render final judgments and could undermine the confidence in the court system that is essential to its effective operation. | | | Note, however, that this concept that State agents are acting in their own behalfs, and not for the State, when they seek to execute an unconstitutional law does not carry over to the State's failure to satisfy an affirmative duty, such as to provide an adequate education. |
