Laws for you, not them

They pass laws with no intention of obeying them themselves. It happens every day in America – in city council chambers, in state legislatures and in the nation’s Capitol.

It’s too bad Corzine got hurt.

But it’s a good illustration of the way arrogant elected officials put themselves above the law.

*** end quote ***

I think that the seat belt law should be repealed immediately. As well as speed limit, cell phone, and all the other “laws” (I object to calling what men do a “law”. Gravity, now there’s a law!) that are aimed at “us” and not “them”.

I’d allow in my court as an absolute defense that a diktat from some capitol or another was null and void if (1) the “leaders” didn’t have to obey it; (2) if it wasn’t uniformly enforced and universally enforced; and (3) there has to be a “victim” (i.e., a real flesh and blood person that gets hurt).

Now you know why I won’t be a judge!
