Can’t answer that question…but I do know the “urban legend” of the year. Illegal immigration is a civil infraction; employing an illegal is a felony. Evidently prosecuting the felony is optional, but prosecuting the civil infraction a political imperative.
It’s like our perception of danger. Driving on the 4th is hundreds of times more dangerous than flying. So be safe. Grab a hammock after that six pack, everyone.
Except for the ones involving not committing treason, nearly all…..
Laws are made for those who obey them.
Laws relating to the illegality of marijuana are certainly optional! 🙂
I should have thought of that first. Our family just supported a member through three months of radiation and chemo. Would have given a lot for a reliable source of the only medicine that would have preserved his appetite. What pure crap!
All those regarding public lewdness. (state statutes)

duh
Any law that constrains civil liberties, eg., drug laws, sex laws, nudity laws. Hell, while I always wear my seatbelt, I don’t even like sensible laws like that. Mommy laws just bug me.
Any law that requires the government to pass through your front door or enter your doctor’s office in order to enforce it.
a red-light..means speed-up and clear the intersection.
No! I have a paraplegic son because someone did that…please change your driving habits.
