Yeah, it seems like a rational common sense approach to anything is impossible for govt. to comprehend.
Every politician is so busy trying to get re-elected and look "tough" on "crime" that they spend all their time making up new "laws".
And the Supreme Court has been doing just what you're saying...rubberstamping everything.
This country would be a lot better off if fucking elected officials kept their day jobs and only convened and passed "laws" when it was neccessary. How many fucking laws do we really need? And how much more can they do before we have zero freedom left?
