-- Are you saying that when those in positions of power commit ethics violations that there is no correction available? --

I'm saying no crime, period. Civil penalties are available, but impractical. The "on paper" penalties for ethical violations appear stiff (lose license to practice), but in practice are weak - the swamp protects its own.

Look at the ethical violations in Congress, at worst they get a lecture and a mark on their permanent record. Similar for lawyers in general, and prosecutors can get away with 100 times more than any other lawyer. It's all "self policed," and the public is none the wiser.

Well shoot that just makes me boiling mad. I’m still unclear though if you’re stating that there are no measures in place per our constitution that could/should deal with this lawlessness but isn’t being employed?
I do appreciate you taking time to try and help me to understand.

If I’m reading it correctly, even when crimes are committed that there isn’t an avenue available. Seems illogical and I’m sure I’m not quite getting it. Sigh
