re: #275 Walter L. Newton

Of course it’s different… but no amount of established law is going to hold up if at some point, in some situation, in some emergency, those same members of the establishment decide to forgo the law and make an exception.

That’s true in every situation. You’re getting back to basic founding principles of the United States (or possibly the Magna Carta). Laws only matter if they’re enforced, correct.
