Well, that's what they do!
How else do we decide then? Do I get to drive 150 miles per hour because I don't think the speed limit laws are factually correct? After all, I am quite capable, I have spent thousands of dollars learning and practicing race car driving and if I am on an absolutely empty road...
You can't pick and choose what laws you should obey. We are talking about rights here. The Bill of Rights for that matter. This isn't about where you should cross the street.
This is silly.
Look, the laws are what they are.
If you don't like them, go put your case in front of the SCOTUS and argue your point.
- vidarh 7y agoThe comment above was not talking about what the laws are, but about fact. That the laws are what they are does not change facts. If SCOTUS rules tomorrow that the sun orbits the earth, that does not make it fact. You're doing the exact same thing again of conflating an argument about fact with an argument about law.
