        Prove what, exactly? If you can cite a specific crime, I can point you to the part of the law that proves that it’s illegal, but that’s clearly not your gripe. Things that are illegal are illegal, regardless of whether they’re enforced or not. The proof is in the law that says that it’s illegal.

            Unenforced laws are just fiction.

            Erm. Nope. They’re still laws.

            I can say anything I want is illegal.

            Sure but…that won’t make it illegal.

              You’re right, just because a law isn’t enforced doesn’t mean that it’s not a law.

              You’re committing a crime when you do 66 in a 65. It is illegal, although you may not face penalties for committing the crime.

      Technically it is. Effectively it isn’t. This administration has done more illegality and committed more crimes than most individuals would ever be capable of in their life. And they will face no repercussions for it.
