    In a fair and just world, the leader of the body would be put into prison until the Court’s decision was applied. Each new leader would come to this fate until the situation was rectified to the ruling’s satisfaction. Essentially, it’s a contempt of court condition, and the person in charge is responsible for satisfying the order. That’s why they’re in charge, and why they (at least in most cases) get paid more.

    We seem to have forgotten that actions should have consequences other than trivial fiscal or paper declaration penalties.
