So upshot ...

Govt oppresses us and uses tax payers funds to pursue it.

We the people get to spend our personal and Church funds on legal action to try to stop that.

What a deal.

LOL, Way to make a solid ruling for the good guys sound like a defeat.

Nicely done.

Holding the government accountable so long as no one goes to jail and monetary damages are paid by someone else (the taxpayers), doesn't seem to offer much incentive for integrity.

Of course, there are ways to determine whether a government officer has violated a specific constitutional right of another and the penalty may not be necessarily limited to removal from public office and lifetime disqualification.

For close but not certain cases, a ballot selection for the public to vote "No" against an incumbent may also be useful.
