There are more laws on the books than any citizen could possibly not avoid breaking at least one in the course of each day.

This is not a flaw. It is by design.

"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

-- from Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand

Thankfully, I believe that President Trump and his team not only understand that, they are also committed to making things right.

This is the very geeky but extremely meaningful legal reform I’ve been hoping to see. Excellent work by the Trump admin.
