> he's going to have some pretty high evidentiary hurdles

Hmm, with ABC or the government? (Can individuals claim damages in court against the government for First Amendment violations?)

If it were found Carr was acting unconstitutionally, and thus clearly outside the colour of law, could he be found personally liable?

(Side note: thank you, this is what I was hoping for when I posted this here.)

Yes, you can sue government officials for violating your well established constitutional rights.

IANAL but I'm pretty sure there's massive amounts of litigation around this statute and the law is a lot more complex than it looks on its face.

There may honestly be a public interest in distracting as many of this administration’s officials as legally possible, at least until midterms can roll around.
