The drooling morons in the court, by insisting that they can't limit the literal wording of the law and insisting that the public rely on prosecutor discretion to prevent abuse are no better.


But what's scary is the large section of the country (and at least one Supreme Court Justass) want the courts to take laws literally and not legislate from the bench. Meanwhile, leaving it to the discretion of an attorney general or sheriff allows them to be judge-and-jury, certainly to the extent of little the guilty go free. Bribes can be cheaper than legal fees - if you can afford them. Experience has shown that common sense and integrity will be trumped by corruption every time.

Aren't no-win situations a blast!*
