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.

Bammy is leading on this path.

Yes. It doesn’t matter what the law is. If it isn’t enumerated in the constitution, it belongs to the states.

I feel gay marriage is toothpaste out of the tube, in general, so I am not overly bothered by the issue; I’ve made my peace with it. However, I am EXTREMELY UPSET to see our constitution trashed by the jerks in robes who are there to do nothing else but uphold it.
