This is the ultimate catch-22. For those we grant the right to make and interpret laws, will certainly break said laws. There's no recourse, there's no action that can be taken against them, especially when the judicial system is monopolized and controlled by them.
There really are no true laws because it's so arbitrary. The average person
commits 3 felonies a day without even knowing it. In 2012, 40,000 laws were passed. LOL.
Look at the constitution, how politicians and presidents swear an oath to it, and then take a look at how many ways they break the fucker in half. NDAA, patriot act, NSA spying, declaring war without congressional approval, etc..
The moment I truly began to understand the above is when I went from a small-government, strict constitutionalist to an advocate of stateless societies (anarcho-capitalism, voluntaryism, libertarianism in its purest form). The real intellectual debates regarding political philosophy aren't happening in the (R) or (D) sphere, it's within the realm of anarchism and it's really worth looking into.
Governments undoubtedly fuck EVERYTHING up though. And yes, they will continue to break "laws". ;) It's not surprising given the power they have.
