The basis of all “progressive” laws is the granting of “discretion” to government officials, supposedly because they have some superior ability to make the proper judgements where the individual operating under a fixed set of rules would make improper decisions.

This paradigm also assumes (on the part of the sheeperals) absolute moral purity on the part of the person given the “discretion” in that they will not use it to grant special dispensation to those they like and punish those they don’t.

Both assumptions are WRONG, and upside down from the truth, but exactly what you’d expect from an ideology based on lies.

Exactly. It's as if they are embued with some sort of brilliance the rest of us lack by virtue of the fact that they are a bureaucrat.....excuse me, public servant. Bunch of pukes.
