We’ve got so many pages of laws on the books right now — Federal, State, City and Municipal, that even LAWYERS themselves and LEGISLATORS don’t know what they are.
Nancy Pelosi doesn’t even know what’s in the Healthcare Bill her congress crafted and tells us to pass it so that we would know what’s in it.
You and I are probably violating some law right now without knowing it. Yet, it’s not an excuse to break the law....
What a wicked web we weave, Sir.
“You and I are probably violating some law right now without knowing it. Yet, it’s not an excuse to break the law”
This is how tyrannies operate. They creat vast oceans of laws and regulations so that at any point, you are breaking a law (...an enemy of the state..)
The tenet that “ignorance of the law is no defense to breaking it” makes perfect sense when the number and type of laws on the books are readily available and understandable (e.g. you can’t steal a horse - if you do you will be hanged). When “the law” is thousands upon thousands of pages requiring professional interpretation via the services of an attorney, it is unreasonable and illogical to expect an otherwise law abiding citizen to be aware of all of these laws. The law becomes a trap by the statist government to intimidate and incarcerate anyone that they want silenced.
