When the Attorney General of a country proposes a law she is not some "citizen of any stripe" proposing a "silly law," but a representative of the government. If she had been a acting irresponsibly, rather than floating a trial balloon, she would have been fired instantly. That she wasn't proves that Chavez's nauseating genuflection before Khamenei and his Ahmedi-nejad was not merely an ordinary act of political prostitution (like Castro's shamefaced endorsement of the Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968) but expressed some real ideological agreement.
