That sounds good, but not all laws are as open and shut as this farce was. Sometimes the constitutionality is genuinely vague, and attempting a law is the only way to settle the question.

And picture a SCOTUS with a Dem majority that strikes doen actions as unconstitutional simply as a tool to force out GOP (or even sanish Dem) officials. If you can’t picture that, I certainly can.

What we need is when a law is ruled as unconstitutional by a state supreme court (for a state law), or the USSC (for a state or federal law), those who voted for it are removed from office, and are no longer eligible to hold any public office (elected, appointed, or hired). They should be penalized for violating their oath of office.

Unfortunately, the courts tend to hold the taxpayers liable because they voted for these idiots in the first place.

Problem with that is, if the city is liable, the payment comes from the taxpayers the politicians were trying to screw.

Instead, make the politicians personally liable for KNOWINGLY enacting an ordinance that violates the state constitution.

John C,

Time to eliminate governmental immunity. These idjits SHOULD be liable for their f*cktardery. Any city resident/taxpayer should be able to bring a suit, PERSONALLY, against any idiot city official who spent money on this performative boondoggle.
