The article didn't do much to support the "Three Felonies a Day" thesis. More support for the tired, more general "laws are bullshit" refrain, but not for the thesis in the title.
- dionidium 17y agoOpposition to vague or unenforceable laws is not the same thing as opposition to the rule of law, in general. In fact, I think -- as, e.g., Lawrence Lessig has argued wrt copyright -- such laws might have a corrosive effect on general support for the rule of law and could be opposed on those grounds.
