Objections Overruled—How Judges and Government Actors Escape Public Accountability: Part Two of Two


undefined

If we the people must follow the law, our government must follow the Constitution.  But a tangled web of legal doctrines effectively places government workers above the law by making it nearly impossible for individuals to hold them accountable for violations of constitutional rights.  Outside of narrow exceptions, these doctrines give all those employed by the government—police, mayors, school officials, IRS agents, you name it—immunity from lawsuits, even if they act in bad faith.
