Government antics in court need to be held to account

Often in religious liberty cases or other pertinent constitutional issues like gun rights, government entities change tune on clearly unconstitutional policies right before they know they’re about to lose. In other words, private citizens utilize significant resources fighting for their constitutional rights, only for government to promise they won’t violate those rights again, and often that person’s case becomes moot.

The only problem is the government often doesn’t hold to its promise. This causes the same cases to be brought to court over and over, clogging up the court system, wasting resources, and ensuring the government is held to a lower standard than the rest of us and thus can’t be trusted. It’s time for that to end.
