WOW! Where is the Presidential Pardon for these cases?!? Guess the POTUS' are too busy selling them to REAL multi-million $ criminals like Mark Rich.

If I remember right we have approximately 1500 new laws passed every year. This ranges from the city to federal level.

Do we really need this many new laws every year? I don't believe so.

John,

I may not remember correctly but I believe that every Senator can introduce up to a limit of 1800 bills per year. Multiply that by the number of worthless people in Congress and you can see why we have so many stupid and unreasonable laws. Now with a president that has never did anything but figure out ways to get elected, things could and most likely will get a lot worse.

As I stated above, I may be very wrong on the amount of bills each member of Congress can introduce, but it was a long time ago when I was studying this stuff and much of it I have forgotten.

Hmm,

Must be that they are scared of the real criminals and need to fill up the jails with people they can actually catch.

Good Grief!

I remember reading that if you include Towns, cities, counties, states and the feds that we have 30,000 new laws every year, and that has been going on since the FIFTIES!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you break a law today? You betcha!

This has all been going on for far too long, this is far more a worry then what kind of healthcare we have or who's in the white house, we have not even seen what the Homeland security act has in store!
