Hypocrisy

Ramesh writes, “So it is entirely possible to oppose amnesty because the immigration laws can and should be better enforced, while opposing laws against pot and sodomy because those laws shouldn’t be.” We disagree on whether those latter laws should be enforced. But my point remains that non-enforcement of a law is in itself not a very good reason to oppose a law. In other words, a law doesn’t lose merit because we decide not to enforce it.
