I think that most people in the U.S. are coming to realize that here in the U.S., the Constitution has been put on hold lately.
Laws don't mean much if the government is going to pick and choose which ones they feel like enforcing or ignoring, depending on the Administration.
Half the time anymore, I can't tell if it's a big company that's ignoring the law, or if the government is ordering the big companies to do somthing that's unconstitutional.
For those in other countries, my take, and the belief of most Americans used to be that the law was the law. Sometimes you agreed with it, and other times not; but most of us believed it was being enforced
evenly by the courts. It's not that way anymore. Most people here point to the U.S. 'Patriot Act' by ex-President Bush as the beginning of the erosion of the U.S. Constitution.
It is obvious to all of us here now, that our laws are NOT being fairly enforced upon everyone. An entity gets-off scott-free if the government wants it that way, or gets prosecuted if out of favor with the government.
A sad situation that most of us hopes will be corrected, instead of getting worse. Time will tell.
