We live in a country where the law is deemed sacred and must be observed. Thus, hundreds or more die and suffer because it is "against the law" for a soldier to provide law enforcement domestically.
Yet state and local police and public employees are ordered under threat of losing their jobs that they are not to enforce the law making it a crime to be in this country without proper documentation. For many years, it was OK to speed on the 4 lane Hiawatha. Now they've changed the speed limits to recognize reality. >From another thread this week, apparently, I can steal stuff from unlocked cars without any worry about being arrested. It would be nice to know which laws I have to observe, and which I don't have to worry about.
