Make 'em Pay
Timothy Birdnow
In Britain if you are acquitted your legal fees are paid.

As a result the weapon of illegal prosecutions is far less effective for the Left. As my friend across the pond John Lees pointed out, the Brits are amazed that we allow innocent people to be bankrupted by bogus prosecutions.
It would be a step in the right direction to have such a law (although the liberals would no doubt abuse it to drain the state of it's coffers and enrich trial lawyers.) But what America really needs is a way to hold prosecutors personally accountable. Now they wouldn't care if the taxpayers were on the hook for it; they would still prosecute those they want to punish and hope something would stick.
It should be possible to hold them legally liable for misconduct and overcharging.
We need new, creative ways of dealing with this. George Soros knew what he was doing when he targeted prosecuting attorney offices.

Well, at least England's doing something right -- for a change. I'd love to see this here, and I also want politicians made to pay for the damage their policies cause. If such a law had been in effect at the time of Johnson's "Great Society," the Democratic Party would have been bankrupted.

Agreed. There must be personal accountability for our "leaders".
