Right, so maybe if it’s now being applied in a discriminatory fashion, it’s now due for a change? My point is that enforcement of the law cannot be considered separate from the law. A law that cannot be enforced does nothing, and a law that creates discrimination in enforcement is a discriminatory law.
Why would we discuss changing the law, rather than ensuring that it is applied indiscriminately? ANY law and punishment can be used to discriminate, and many are. By your logic if the police started prosecuting murderers in a biased manner, we should remove the law against murder.
My brother in nothing, enforcement is part of the law.
If you know a law will be applied unequally, don’t pass the damm law.
? The law has been around a century, current controversy is that it’s not being applied equally
