Speed limits and the like are only needed because laws, and hence offenses, exist. And those laws are meant to 'support' us ( you know, I don't want people to ignore the red light when I'm crossing the street!). But he has stated plainly that he and the Deps are not here to provide "support." WTF??? That is like (to keep going with this interesting analogy) getting run over and waving frantically for cops for help, only to have them blow you off by saying, "Keep in mind, our role is not to provide support."
And off they go in search of examples of 'incivility.'Keep well, Muffled-
