Unlike in section 1983 actions, public officials ... will not be subject to liability under section 1985(3) unless their actions were motivated by "some racial, or perhaps otherwise class-based, invidiously discriminatory animus." ... We hold that this additional safeguard obviates the need for granting public officials qualified immunity in section 1985(3) actions.
