Do these lefties really want anarchy?
If they want to drop everything and go full chaos, I say bring it on! Let’s go.
No, that’s not what they want. They don’t care about too much regulation or loss of freedom. What they care about is who is controlling the people. They don’t like sharing power.
the bigger problem is the law only applies to some....
That’s the whole idea of a socialist society. So many laws you are guilty of something everyday.
I can think of a hundred things you used to be able to do that are now against the law.
Right there in the second sentence is this howler: “Law in America is as pure as law can be—impartial…”
Maybe the author was suggesting in an ideal world.
Yes, there is too much law. Legislators have far too much time on their hands and far too much self-interest involved. One legislator here had a new law passed that required tag registration within two days instead of a few weeks. Why? His son was stopped for driving with an expired dealer tag and while stopped was hit by another driver and injured. I know, it does not follow but there it is, a new law because he wanted it.
a) Constitutionally dubious delegation of legislative authority to the administrative state and too many administrative agencies;
b) the legislature seeking a workaround for various courts' expansion of procedural rules (again, without legislation) by passing innumerable criminal offenses with draconian penalties
Above all at the Federal level is the utter abandonment of the Constitution's limited grant of authority to Congress over interstate commerce. Congress has literally no authority over the manufacture, sale or possession of anything unless it crosses state lines or an international boundary.
I want a candidate to clean up government, starting with eliminating redundant laws and regulations. I think we need to wipe the entire slate and start anew with the Constitution.
When you have a “law factory” in D.C. with a lot of egos wanting to justify their existence by manufacturing more laws, what do we expect?
Big government = Laws.
Far too many laws yes, but the real problem is giving judges far far too much power as Gods to make new laws by twisting laws into new precedents based on personal opinions and biases. There is no base Constitutional standard anymore. They are being allowed to remove rights as they like with no accountability.
“If there is something stupid going on, there is either a tax man or a lawyer behind it. Congress is both...” - HeadOn, ca. 1990
Law keeps the democrats from stealing everything
None other than U.S. Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch said almost every adult in America violates at least one law, EVERY DAY, without even knowing of the law or the crime committed.
Too much law in America now equals complete lawlessness.
Perhaps they should impose a 2-year lifetime on every existing and future law on the books. Congress could occupy its time deciding which laws to renew, which to simplify, and which to abandon. That should keep them busy.
It’s like communism in that you can’t vote your way out of it.
The law making body of the US Congress is composed of lawyers at a very high percentage rate. Why Americans elect lawyers to represent them is beyond me. After all, the only thing they do is create job security (more laws) for lawyers.
Stay locked and loaded my friend.
Fer instance.
Here I sit at my office. Across the street from a High School. I have my pistol on my hip. I’m a felon just sitting here. The 2nd amendment has no teeth. AFAIK, just driving down the road in front, or behind, or beside, within 1,000 feet of a school is a felony.
