This is where our Rule of Law begins to crumble. Our government loses its legitimacy when the citizenry no longer recognizes or respects its authority.

An illigitimate government is destined for a people’s revolt.

When the government can pass laws that make otherwise law abiding citizens criminals, they can enforce them judiciously as they see fit. A Scooter Libby can do jail time whilst a Sandy Burglar gets a dunce hat. A politician can evade taxes while a middle class family man can be jailed for tax filing errors and penalty fee defaults.

You nailed it 100% Tenacious.

A few days ago a Freeper posted, "I believe America is at that awkward stage. It’s too late to work within the system and too soon to start shooting.”

I would love Biden to ask me why I need an assult weapon. I would look him square in his eye and say, "Because I do not trust you."
