Agreed. Additionally government workers are held to different standards than civilians. You or I break a law we face fines and or imprisonment, a government worker breaks a law they face no real personal consequences. For example, the FBI violated the FISA law over 100,000 times in 2021, yet no one went to jail. If I assault someone I can face charges for assault & battery. A cop uses excessive force, gets cleared by his department, then looses an excessive force lawsuit yet never faces charges for battery.
We do not need the 28th amendment!! Sounds like anybody has a sex change can fall under equal rights for sex!! And there’s a day in March when all criminals can’t be charged and are free of the crime!!! I don’t support the 28th amendment
This is probably already the law in the US, because English Common law prior to the revolution was largely adopted by the US, theoretically including the Magna Carta.
Nevertheless, this has never been enforced, so I agree it should be enumerated in an amendment.
The original reference is referring to a horror film series called “The Purge” where for 12 hours almost any crime is legal. Of course one of the films in the series was called “Election Year” and being a Hollywood film studio was behind it, you can guess how that went (TDS on steroids).
I’m not a horror film fan so I’ve never watched any of them, but I’ve read enough descriptions of them to know what they’re about.
But that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. He said,
in reply to an amendment that would specifically enumerate equal application of the law. Knowing about “The Purge” movies doesn’t make his post make sense in context.
