Yes, my breaking into your home IS illegal.
But my continuing presence in your house of course, is NOT. Pass the chips.
Only a so-called ‘educated’ moron, far removed from the real world, could even conceive of such a distinction.
That judges make such rulings should tell you something about how they adjudicate more complex cases.
"That depends on what the definition of "is" is."
This is results oriented legal interpritation.
Your point about a home break in is well taken. But allow me to play devil’s advocate for just a moment (no, not the video game). Is a bigamist breaking the law when he lives with his second concurrent wife, or just when he marries her?
Not trying to stir up a hornets nest here!
