I’m not sure that I follow, but yes. I think that severely punishing those who abuse special authority will improve that aspect of the government. I don’t think it will fix society, but having a functioning justice system certainly can’t hurt.

So you think Trump should be jailed?
And pretty much all of the living ex-presidents including some presidential candidates and other federal officials who lie to congress without any repercussions.

Politicians, pastors, doctors, lawyers, police, parents, judges, adults, etc...all must be held to a higher standard. The word 'responsibility' seems to be discounted when someone is caught.
You’ve just listed everyone and then said they should all be held to a higher standard… higher than who?
Higher than they are currently held to.

It's an excellent question. I was meaning a higher standard of behavior. As no one can be perfect in thought and deed, the above list are expected to be held to a higher standard of ethics as pointed out by their training.
Those on the list 'signed up', so it can be expected they knew what they were in for. They also have more power in society then the rest of us and should be held accountable.
