mrmagloo Posted October 2, 2020 at 08:50 PM Share Posted October 2, 2020 at 08:50 PM What we really need is to change the laws that protect idiot Politicians from knowingly and flagrantly pushing unconstitutional laws to harass folks and deprive them of their Constitutional rights, and to make them PERSONALLY liable for the judgments and costs. Imho, they are breaking their fiduciary duties to the taxpayers by leveraging their positions unlawfully, and should be criminally charged as well. Tarred and feathered would be a bonus. Stoning even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the Section 1983 laws need revisions to make it easier to go directly after the legislators when they willfully ignore civil rights, that was the intent of the law in the first place but the courts have placed the bar so high it's essentially blanket immunity.
