Hey, if you’re going to attack me personally, at least do it from the front....Yeesh. Y’know, I can’t square you with your home page. I like that guy. But this ...
It seems like wtc911’s difficulty is that there is the law, and then there is how the law is actually applied.
These are not necessarily completely congruent.
A former law enforcement officer should probably understand this—there is a certain amount of discretion involved in law enforcement. Not everyone driving over the speed limit gets pulled over for speeding, for instance.
What you, SR, seem to be saying, is that the convention where ethics complaints aren’t brought against former office holders is kind of like the convention where law enforcement officers don’t generally pull someone over for speeding in many places around the country, as long as the speeder is driving no more than 5 mph over the limit.
It doesn’t conform exactly to the letter of the law, but it’s how it’s done in practice.
Is that what you’re trying to communicate?
