Government prosecutes criminal law. There are various reasons, including politics or career progression, that government prosecutors overlook some crimes. Individuals don't successfully charge others with criminal violations.
Individuals prosecute civil law. If civil law penalties continue to be unavailable because 'government immunity', then bad actors in government will not be restrained through the courts.
I'm uncertain what court legislation you would propose, other than removal of USSC doctrine of government immunity.
- javajosh 4y agoLegislation, as far as I understand it, determines the composition, operation and funding of the court system in addition to the law itself. It will probably require significant legislation to, for example, allow justices to run a jury trial entirely online and have the outcome binding. But I'm not a lawyer; perhaps the courts actually have great leeway with how they conduct trials, which would actually be a very good thing for the kinds of reforms I have in mind.
