The historical loss of the Mens Rea rule (the intention or knowledge of wrongdoing that constitutes part of a crime, as opposed to the action or conduct of the accused), is completely contradicted by the treatment of former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in the matter of her handling of classified materials. Progressives seem notably inconsistent applying their agitations across the board, depending on who is disadvantaged.
Agreed. The ability to punish people for breaking rules they didn’t know existed or couldn’t figure out how to meet is tyranny, especially the capricious nature of enforcement.
