That would come out of your pocket and the pockets of every other taxpayer (provided you're a taxpayer). How would taking somone else's money punish the government bureaucrats responsible?
Are you saying you don’t think we should be allowed to sue the government because the fees, court costs, and any damages awarded would be paid from our tax dollars? Think of all the things the government runs and be sure you really want that. Example: military couldn’t sue military doctors because tax payers would foot the bill. etc. etc. etc. Actually, they probably can’t successfully sue military doctors because of the leverage the military would have, but you get my point.
