When the Constitution is ignored by Scotus, why should Scotus be ignored by the states and by the people?
The truth is: when the rules don’t apply at one point, then they don’t apply at any point.
I’ve read an analysis that proposed that the 55 mph speed limit was the beginning of the end for the rule of law.
It was a federally imposed law. It was arbitrary in nature, and no one felt a strong compulsion to obey it because of this.
And, once you open the door on general disregard for one law, the rest are on a slippery slope.
