I can only assume you skimmed my comment without actually reading it. As I pointed out, judges should not be determining which laws get enforced. In North Carolina prosecutors are elected, so there's no "the executive" involved.
Furthermore, in the federal system the executive does not decide which laws to enforce. That's a dereliction of duty - he's supposed to enforce them all. Not doing your job is not part of "the design of checks and balances".
- chrismcb 11y agoYou are right judges shouldn't decide what gets enforced. But they do get to decide if the law is a good one or bad one. They can overturn a law, so that it will no longer be enforced
- tsotha 11y agoOnly if there's a constitutional basis for doing so. I'm no expert on North Carolina law, but I'm going to go ahead and assume the state constitution is silent on electronic pictures of naked people.
