AN IDEA FOR THE TIMES!
Part of the problem with the country
today is that the concept of “responsibility” has been legislatively,
educationally and judicially removed from our society.
Immunities
from prosecution, lawsuits and media exposure abound while malfeasance,
bribery, corruption, official murder and contempt for due process are “business
as usual.”
And the
citizenry feels helpless because our “elected” “representatives” are on the
OTHER side of the fence, laughing at our efforts and cries for justice.
So, here’s an idea: Simply remove all, and I do mean all,
statutory immunities from corporations, government officials, government
agencies and / or individuals, except those in witness protection.
That would
be Step One.
Step Two: Establish that the losing party would be
responsible for legal expenses engendered by all parties. That would limit frivolous lawsuits.
This would
foster a MUCH larger or greater interest in responsibility for one’s products
(in the case of corporations such as big Pharma), or individual actions (in the
case of government or police agent/agency actions) if they could actually be
threatened with a day in open court.
Even the leftist co-opted media couldn’t cover THAT up.
The
murdering police thug could face having his pension garnished, along with his
fellow officers, might just rethink his habit of shooting unarmed homeless
people.
The
non-working government employee, collecting a salary for sitting at home, could
lose that home.
The bribable
city agent could cost the city millions as well as face prison time.
The corrupt
Lieutenant Governor of a large state could be forced to explain his campaign
donations in open court, along with their connections to his legislative
actions.
The Senator
would be explaining why her husband keeps getting EXTREMELY lucrative
government contracts without having to bid for them.
The local
police chief would be explaining to his areas of responsibility why he is
devoting so many local resources to implementing Federal rules and regulations,
regardless of local laws, without compensation.
Why is he so eager to pursue questionable Federal actions in the first
place.
The list
goes on…
Removing
that immunity bar would reinstate RESPONSIBILITY… to individuals, agencies,
departments, corporations and, of course, our legislative, judicial and
executive branches of government.
And adding
the RESPONSIBILITY for legal fees and expenses would deter frivolous actions by
unscrupulous lawyers and / or individuals.
With
appropriate consequences, of course, for both lawyers and pledants.
