All perfectly legal. Whether they are moral or not is a different issue- but not one YOU raised.

FT, I have plenty more "laws" we can discuss. But let's start with these. I have a lot of them too which, though, "legal" are wrong. I think X was referring to the pure abstract legality of the laws without regard to ethics or morals. Also we have to remember that the "law" may be flagrantly disobeyed by those in power -- just get a sympathetic judge to interpret the law differently. We need to make politicians read the Constitution and obey it. I think that's part of what the oath of office says. If the population doesn't agree with the Constitution, there are ways to change it. And it's beneficial that it's not easy to do. The infamous 16th amendment has a lot to do with the current state of political corruption in our government: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census of enumeration. Let's repeal it! Jack
