Interesting?

Yes.

(Seems fairly complicated though.)

In general, I don't see why any branch of government should be 'immune' to force of law... but isn't it fairly normal that most are granted some sort of *limited* immunity for official actions?

As in most things, I suppose the Devil is in the exact details.

(The second part sounds like a different thing altogether: a permanent standing state-wide 'Grand Jury'. Now, what is *that* about? Isn't it a widely quoted saying that any Prosecutor worth his or her salt, can EASILY get a Grand Jury to indite a 'ham sandwich'?)
