There needs to be massive numbers of lawsuits, and not just against the states, but the officials personally. There needs to be actual punitive damages levied against THEIR livelihood, and not just them getting away with paying out taxpayer money.

Individual officers who enforce unconstitutional laws need to be sued. Playing Gestapo would get old real fast if they knew their uniform and their "just following orders" excuse won't protect them from financial ruin. The left is constantly using lawsuits to strike fear into their opposition. It's high time the right starts doing the same.

While we can stop LEOs from the unconstitutional bs, unfortunately they are protected from having to bear the financial burden of lawsuits against them. I hope I'm wrong about this. We need class action lawsuits, worded so that everyone affected in the State can share the cost of the one legal action. That's how we win.

We also need to name the Governor; we CAN sue against their own personal wealth. There are maybe 10 that aren't guilty of mass murder.

This is incorrect. Persons who deprive civil rights/liberties can be pursued in civil court/held personally liable for damages. A badge does not protect them. “Just doing my job” or “Following orders” is an insufficient defense.

You don't need to be a "Constitutional Expert" to have a basic junior high understanding of the bill of rights, especially when the single most important aspect of your job is defending those rights.

I mean.... It seems highly inappropriate to be a law enforcement officer if you don't know the law, right? The Constitution is the highest law of the land.

Class action lawsuits against the Governor. Draw it up so that everyone affected in the State can sign on. That way we bear the cost among us all, and we win. If we try to do this individually they draw it out forever and run up the cost; that's how they win. Make sure to include the charge of mass murder. Deny sick people medicine? Let the lawyer figure out the proper charge, but they don't get out for that. The most convictions any mass murderer in the US has is 8 murders. Very few Governors are guilty of fewer than 8 preventable deaths.
