MR. PRESIDENT, WHO HOLDS GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE?A Hypothetical Conversation with President Donald TrumpDonald, welcome. It’s good to see you again.And Donald, as I’ve encouraged you before, please dispense with the formalities. You need not call me Mr. Johnson. Beau will do just fine, as it always has in our private conversations.I appreciate your deference to me as one of the sovereign American people, from whom your office derives its limited authority. But we need no titles or distinctions between us. We are free and equal men, sharing a concern for the future of our Republic.So, Donald, let us speak about what ails America—and what we can do to remedy it.There is a current concern I believe strikes at the very foundation of our constitutional Republic.And that is the failure to hold governmental officials accountable when they violate the rights and freedoms of the American people.Across this country, at the local, state, and federal levels, we find officials who exceed their authority, abuse their positions, and inflict terrible injuries upon the lives, liberty, and property of Americans who have violated no one’s rights.And when those Americans seek justice, what do they encounter?Immunity.Sovereign immunity. Qualified immunity. Absolute immunity.Different legal doctrines, certainly, but doctrines that can operate to shield governmental officials from accountability, even when serious injuries have occurred.Please consider the extraordinary contradiction this presents.The American people established a Constitution to define and confine governmental authority.They delegated certain powers to their representatives and public servants.They required those officials to swear an oath to uphold the Constitution.And yet, when those same officials exceed their authority and violate the rights of the people, the injured American may discover that the legal system offers no effective remedy.How can that be reconciled with the fundamental purpose of constitutional government?WHAT GOOD IS A CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATION IF THE OFFICIAL WHO VIOLATES IT CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?And what good is an oath if its violation carries no meaningful consequence?You have experienced governmental proceedings that you have publicly characterized as abuses of authority. You understand, from your own perspective, the enormous power that governmental institutions can bring to bear against an individual.But Donald, consider the American who possesses none of your wealth, prominence, or resources.Consider the man whose livelihood is destroyed by an official acting beyond his authority.Consider the family whose property is taken without lawful justification.Consider the citizen who is deprived of liberty and then discovers that the official responsible is protected from personal liability.Where does that American turn?This is an epidemic of immense proportions. One need only watch videos online and witness the gravity of the tragic display of abuse of power and the absence of due process, not to mention the dignity of honoring a sovereign people.The people cannot receive remedy from the same institutions whose officials may have caused the injury.The courts are also unresponsive or dismissive as well because an immunity doctrine prevents the claim from proceeding.Are the people to receive remedy with agencies that may investigate themselves? Certainly not.Donald, this is where the promises of constitutional government must be measured against their actual enforcement.And I want to be clear about something.I am not suggesting that every accusation against a governmental official is true.Nor am I suggesting that officials should be deprived of the same due process protections we demand for every American.Quite the contrary.The principle must be universal.Every credible allegation of governmental wrongdoing deserves impartial examination.Where the evidence establishes criminal conduct, the responsible authorities must pursue prosecution in accordance with the law.Where rights have been violated, the injured individual must have access to meaningful remedies.And where officials have abused their positions, disciplinary and removal procedures must operate without favoritism.PUBLIC OFFICE MUST NEVER BECOME A SANCTUARY FOR UNLAWFUL CONDUCT.Now, this brings us to something that you have expressed appreciation for in our conversations: the noble aims of ConstitutionalCounty.org.Its purpose is not to create another political party or organization begging Washington to restore freedoms that the American people already possess.It is to restore the constitutional understanding that the people govern themselves, while their representatives govern government.And where must that restoration begin?With the people themselves.In their communities.In their counties.With citizens who understand their rights, representatives who understand their limitations, and sheriffs and other public officials who recognize that their authority is delegated...
