They are not immune from being replaced by legislators and executives that don’t act like that. The problem isn’t the willfully unconstitutional politicians, it’s the people who put them in office and keep them there despite having all the power they need to make them go away. They get voted for because a huge portion of the population are, frankly, non-critical-thinking morons who fall for their lies out of ignorance and laziness. Then that gets baked into a multi-generational culture of voting that way because That’s What We Do Here In Chicago (or wherever).Agree with everything you say here but my issue is how this country allows these people in local, state, federal government to apply laws, rules or actions despite knowing the Bill of Rights tells them what they cannot do and they do it anyway knowing they have implied immunity. It’s incumbent on the average citizen to risk everything they have in legal costs to stand their ground. This creates a situation where those without the means are powerless against the powerful under the guise of Freedom and Liberty for all while those who have the means can deploy legal counsel to fight the legality of political/legal bullying.
Immunity needs to be addressed to create equilibrium. Policymakers need to be held accountable. Blatant affronts to the Bill of Rights need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Yes, the establishment types, particularly on the left, are responsible for egging along the ignorance, magical thinking, laziness and the rest through their unified application of cultural and administrative power throughout K-PhD, info/tainment media, and ever-more-lefty cultural institituions (including woke churches, etc). But it only works because people are lazy dumbasses and want free sh!t, or have become convinced that being an intersectional victim on social media is the only real currency in life.
We are watching a lot of people waking up to this. It took the ongoing travails of this non-establishment bull in a China shop populist caricature of himself for a lot of people to notice it. Fine. Whatever it takes. Wake the F up.
