How come a Mayor or Governer or Senator or Congressman, etc. can propose and enact laws that are in direct violation of basic constitutional rights to an entire citizenry, and not be held accountable? The DC gun ban, for example, went on for years, murders skyrocketed (as they are now in Chicago), and a private citizen had to sew them all the way to the supreme court before getting it overturned. I would argue that the creator and purveyors of the law are guilty of the worst possible crime, equivalent to treason.
Why is the burden of proof on the plaintif, who must pay millions in legal fees to oppose these tyrrants?
When it is clearly obvious that attempts are being made to usurp constutional law, shouldn't someone stop this process before such infringements of "guaranteed" rights occurs? The Supreme Court is currently only reactionary, but maybe that needs to change.
If no one is policing the government, then how can any rights be guaranteed?
The Constitution and Bill of Rights are a set of LAWS for politicians, and when they knowingly or unknowingly break them, they should be imprisoned. I believe if this were the case we'd have a lot less politicians wanting to create stupid laws that even come close to infringing rights, and that's how it ought to be. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say politicians have immunity. The next best thing to an agency that polices politicians would be civil suits, where they get sewed out of house and home by class action lawsuits from their entire citizenry. Is there any such precedent? None that I recall, but I think it should become common--we the people could police our own government in this way.
