Steve's barking at a nation of laws that aren't followed

As a proud New Yorker and one who was happy with Mayor Mike's first two terms, but one who  is angry that he has a third term. The voters of the city set a term limit ( A law that I hate, for I feel that I have the right to vote any one who at least has a record) law. So the mayor got the city council to pass a law that gave him and them the right for a third term, but only them, and he got a judge to agree with them.
Mayor Mike is now complaining about a judge who didn't let him get away with his rule by decree that establishments that are regulated by the city can not sell any soda's above 16 oz. The judge also ruled that it discriminated against soda because it didn't include more fattening liquids such as milk shakes but that's not what I'm trying to write about in this particular blog. What my complaint is that we have laws and we including our government does everything to either ignore it or interpret in a way that wasn't the reason  it was written.
In New York State we like to ignore the sixth amendment. If you look at trial dates, you will find that it's very rear when the defendant has a speedy trial
One can find plenty of examples of excessive bail in violation of the eight amendment to the constitution.
Please don't get me started on the second amendment, one would think that the supreme court justices are reading comprehensive deficient.
How many of us jay walk, or have taken forbidden drugs? Perhaps had illegal type of sex?
In my youth I can honestly say that I have done all three. There I said it, perhaps I really shouldn't get upset about those in higher status ignore or skate the law.

* Not to long ago I was talking with some people who happen to bring up that America was a nation of laws.
My attitude was so what, but I kept my mouth shut, this was what I should have said.
