I'm researching a legal issue that does not directly implicate the current #SCOTUS, and I'm struck by just how opposed many legal scholars have been to making government actually live up to its constitutional and statutory obligations to protect individual rights.

*Why* have so many lawyers been so opposed to forcing the government to actually do what it is supposed to do? Like wtf people?!

(Yes, I have a good sense about the why, but it's still oddly disturbing.)
