Much of the guts of America is this simple premise: no man is above the law. No matter how powerful, famous, wealthy, intelligent or talented, we all are to abide by the law - or face its consequences.
Why then, does this man seem to be skating when it seems most apparent that he did indeed break the law?
Of course, they can’t just come out and say it, but one of the reasons why the main stream media is pooh-pooh-ing l’affaire Gregory is that the idea that simple possession of an unloaded magazine being a crime is so mind-bogglingly stupid on its face that they understand the unfairness of it all at a gut level. Why should merely holding a metal box with a spring in it be punishable by a $1,000 fine and a year in jail?
Well, our betters passed that law, and now one of them has broken it.
And now we will see whether DC is a city ruled by laws or by men above the laws.
If this really is the reason - then perhaps more of us ought to scream more frequently and more loudly about a government that continues to pass a barrage of ridiculous and non-productive laws.
