The alternative is that officials face consequences for violating peoples rights. This would actually make things work better because rights would be enforced.

The alternative is that officials face consequences for violating peoples rights. This would actually make things work better because rights would be enforced. Officials who violate them would be fired and/or fined and/or imprisoned (depending the situation), because what they did was illegal.
- roflyear 4y agoYou can't have judges potentially getting punished for making mistakes. There are a lot of examples. No one would take those jobs in your world.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agoPeople get punished for making mistakes in every other type of job and people still take them, so why should judges get a free pass?
- roflyear 4y agoAre you saying that you'd be OK with being personally responsible for a bug you put into your code that causes some harm down the line? As in, costing you $$$$$$$$ or jail time? That is what it sounds like you're saying.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agoThis is already the case. If wrote code for say a heart implant device and I did a shitty job and a bunch of people died because of it, I for sure would be fired, and likely sued, and possibly even face jail time (depending on the specifics). So yeah, that's the world real world for most of us.
