Rep. Jim Clyburn uses bread to explain how to get ‘somewhere in between’ scrapping qualified immunity and keeping it

This week Clyburn used a bread analogy to try and explain his position:

Rep. Jim Clyburn: "A half loaf is better than no loaf at all. The full loaf would be to get rid of qualified immunity. No loaf would be to keep it. So what's the half loaf? Somewhere between getting rid of it and keeping it." https://t.co/k6Z7CU4VfH pic.twitter.com/Ok9jusMeTw

Clyburn only seems to have caused more confusion.

What does this even mean?

If we’re not mistaken Clyburn seems to be trying to straddle the fence on this issue.
