(Me too. Hit them in the wallet!)
HUH? Hit WHO in the wallet? The Government does not make money(earn it). It takes money from the citizens. So they very citizens that needed laywers to get their Constitutional Rights will be the ones that end up pay the freight.
And once the citizens get hit with a huge bill for attorney’s fees, maybe next time they elect a politician, they’ll think twice about it and maybe elect someone who cares about the Constitution.
Yes, but now citizens in DC and other jurisdictions that are attempting to end-run around Heller won't tolerate it so well if they know the consequences.
Besides, award or no in this particular instance, ALL public servants are now on notice that if they attempt to infringe upon anyone's 2A rights, they're going to be hit with a Section 1983 lawsuit.
No a majority elected these clowns, and paid them to stomp on the rights of a minority (e.g. those who want to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights). When the bill for the clowns gets too high, then a majority will dump them and not until.
Further importance of voting wisely: elect an idiot, and he's gonna cost YOU money.
Perhaps the good citizens who reside in the District of Columbia will get off their butts and elect people to represent them who are first and foremost Patriots and who will actually support the Constitution.
I think that a good reminder in the wallet might be just what the doctor would prescribe in this instance.
