Because reality is that laws are not enforced regularly, equally, and uniformly.

Because reality is that laws are not enforced regularly, equally, and uniformly.
- Buttons840 4y agoBut it's out of context. If you and I are arguing the pros and cons of 2 possible laws, and I counter your arguments with "juries will do whatever they want", and you counter my arguments with "juries will do whatever they want", we both have this free counter-argument that we can use without any thought at any time. That's not an argument anyone can win, so why are we here? Although, fair enough, maybe we should both take a step back and stop arguing because it really doesn't matter?
- trimethylpurine 4y agoIt's not about what juries want. Do you get a royal flush on every hand of poker? Why would you expect that in any given court room in America you'd land a case where the judge is stupid, and the prosecutor is stupid, and juror number one is stupid, and etc. It's unlikely. If you're really the smartest guy in the room, you're not going to be arguing semantics in there. And if you try, you'll quickly become the most unlikeable guy in the room. Which is a lot worse for you.
