>>When that sleazy SOB lied to that federal grand jury.... and they defended it .....is the day the rule of law died in this country!!!!!!!!!!!<<

Until today, this was technically a local issue. It is now national.

I no longer feel bound by the rule of law. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to go out on a shooting spree or bank robbing spree. But those "how to live your life" laws, like speed limits, jay-walking, taxes, traffic lights, handicapped parking, helmets, land use etc. no longer apply. The risk of getting caught is all that will stop me, when the risk seems great (like there is a cop right there).

Since there really is no longer a rule of law, it's all just a game now.

Kind of puts one in mind of the thesis in "The Decline of the Roman Empire"

I agree with you 100%.

If it makes you feel any better, I've racked up about $500 in "toll violations" on NJ and NY roads over the last ten months.
