“Fascist.”
Why is this fascist? Seriously. It is stupid, illogical, and blatantly unconstitutional, but fascist? I ask because
the current trend across the political spectrum is to use labels indiscriminately for shock value or out of ignorance.
“the current trend across the political spectrum is to use labels indiscriminately for shock value or out of ignorance.”
Perhaps I used the term incorrectly. It strikes me as a means for government to suppress the power of the people, which is one of the definitions of fascism.
Are you a member of the “millennial” generation?
That's a reasonable question, but reason no longer has any place in jurisprudence. The law is a subset of politics, which is the arena in which certain people strive to attain power over the rest.
This law will be recorded and forgotten until someone wants to use it in the courts to bankrupt or imprison somebody they feel threatened by. It takes very little to make such people feel threatened.
Anne Rand explained this in Atlas Shrugged. It's why we're obliged to wade through that book: pearls in mud.
