Which law(s) do you want to be "liberally construed" (broken or not enforced)?
Hey, if DemocRATS can do it why can't I?
Also income tax laws should not be interpreted literally as applying to my income.
Also seat belt laws. When I get pulled over, I want to be able to tell the officer "don't look at the letter of the seat belt law-- according to at least two state supreme courts and one of the two major political parties of this country, the law does not necessarily mean what it says...".
Mine too. Texas has an exemption to carrying a handgun (on or about your person) for traveling. As far as I'm concerned, if I'm walking accross the street to visit my neighbor, I'm traveling. Same for going to the store, or to work. The "Courts" OTOH, keep raising the bar on what constitutes traveling, a term not defined in the law. Once it was any trip crossing a county line, then you had to cross two county lines, that is be more than one county away from your place of residence. (For a few years I could have met that test just going to work) and now they want you to stay overnight before you are "traveling". And the police will still bust you even if you are staying overnight, you have to prove it, rather than them having to prove you weren't planing on staying overnight.
All gun laws should not be enforced or ignored.
With the exception of the literal meaning of the Second Amendment.
Surely the authors of the laws that might technically be violated by such practice, couldn't have anticpiated the "quality" of the Senators we have today. Surely the law can bend on this issue, after all, some of them need killing, real bad. </sarcasm
The very notion of tithing to the government would have got you tarred and feathered a hundred years ago. That's would be the best case in fact. More likely it would have got you shot or hung, or maybe hung and then shot, and then tarred and feathered.
