Eh, I don't think that sort of scenario could exist in any country as large as ours. If it were the case, there would just be a whole ton of court precedents to follow instead of laws.
Still, we don't have a law for every precise situation.
Though the Congress has attempted to do so.
I'm glad that this thread is sufficiently boring.
Damn, this is nice.
Boredom is significantly underrated.

Well, WH, the times may or may not be momentous. But they are sure as interesting.

It's still worth trying though. You can't win if you don't play.So it would seem, but these are very hard to create from scratch where they are not already strongly in evidence.
