I posted these thoughts before in a previous topic and I will repeat them here. It appears that the only way to get government to do their sworn duty might be to sue them. I forsee two very viable routes. The first being failure to uphold their oath of office. Most (I would bet all) officials take an oath of office which includes upholding the laws. If they are failing to do so they should be sued for damages and removal from office. The second is the 14th amendment. The amendment states “…nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” By allowing the “Occupiers” to violate laws (and failing to protect the property and rights of others) that have been enforced on others the officials have violated the 14th amendment rights of many. This was often used on Southern States that were enforcing segregation/”Jim Crow” laws or failing to persue crimesagainst Blacks. I would dare say it seems that “Jim Crow” ideology has resurfaced, but unlike before where it was based on race it is now based on ideology.
