Laws for me, but not for thee....

It seems they forget that, despite their intent or their connivance, laws really are "one size fits all." That is why it is so critical to assign political powers to the proper level of their exercise: that municipal affairs should be empowered and conducted at the municipal level; that State affairs should be empowered and conducted at State level, while bearing in mind that everything they do, even regarding municipalities, is "one size fits all". And that's especially true at the Federal level - which is what the Founders were trying to accomplish, and which is the lodestone for small government Conservatives. If a law requires certain regional or class carve-outs, then it is not being assessed at its proper level of governance. (Or it is not yet "ripe" enough for consideration. The Supreme Court seems to be the only body that even tries to embrace that concept.)

Meanwhile, it's not the laws but the AG enforcement, or lack thereof, that creates the two-tiered legal system we find ourselves living under.
