I am actually willing to give him the benefit of the doubt

the damn laws are so convoluted and impossible to understand that “ignorance of the law” MUST be an excuse now...

I remember my uncle quoting that to me when I was about 8, and it stuck with me ever since. I remember him thundering “ignorance of the law is no excuse!” as if it was profound statement of immense legal importance...

But the more I think about it, the more I wonder- Where is it written that you must obey laws you don't know about? Is “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” codified anywhere?

Or is it something they just repeated often enough until people believed it? It is impossible to know all the laws, especially these days.

And how can you be jailed for something you may not have known was illegal?

The democraps purposely wrote these laws so that they can be interpreted one way for when a democrap does it and another way when a Republican does it.

I despise the silky pony for getting rich on his malpractice suits against innocent doctors...

but I would hate to have ANYONE thrown in jail for this- public humiliation is quite a lot of punishment- jail time would not be...
