When the law is too complicated to be understood, everyone is a criminal.
As though? Does anyone imagine that they might NOT be trying to hide their thoughts from the layman?
Not long ago I said on this forum that it is now IMPOSSIBLE to be a law abiding citizen and received a heated response from someone who thought I was admitting to intentionally breaking the law and who assured me that it is easy to be a law abiding citizen if you WANT to! Some people just don’t seem to have a clue how bad it really is. Anyone who still believes that he can live in this country and NOT break laws does not have even the tiniest understanding of the law. I really don’t believe there is any possibility that any human can go for 24 hours in this country without breaking the law.
“To avoid ignorance of the law the entire population needs to go to law school.”
I know that is sarcasm but it emphasizes that even that suggestion would not help. If it were possible to go to law school and come out understanding all the laws it would not be necessary for lawyers to have so many narrow specialties. Not even the nation’s greatest lawyers know how to live here without breaking laws unwittingly.
Good try but in my opinion the constitution is understandable to anyone with an actual sixth grade education but we are turning out college graduates who are lucky if they actually could pass their great granparent’s sixth grade final. Then there are the judges who can’t understand something as simple as the second amendment. The supreme court decision justifying the individual mandate part of the “Obamacare” law means, in my opinion, that congress can pass a law requiring every American to buy two pounds of butter a week or pay a “tax”. Every judge who voted for that absurd decision should be removed from office and imprisoned.
Even the lawyers don’t even know what all the laws are.
Years ago it was said that the average person commits multiple felonies before they even get to work in the morning.
Plus there’s always the Hillary defense, “I didn’t intend to break any laws.”
