    Presumably because they are legally allowed to do so reference Snoopy post #23.

      Imagine how much better the world would be if people simply used common sense more often...
      I'm afraid that kind of sense isn't common any more.

        You know, at the time I gave him crap for that too but at least he had a job and these days jobs can be hard to come by.

          I already addressed that Oerdin (let me guess - you didn't read the thread again?).

          It was intended to show the stupidity of covering all people with the same label.

            Because states are big places.

              What's the paperwork like when applying for a temporary suspension of a law? Is it anything like those Obamacare waivers and simply requires a hefty campaign donation?

                Not fair. You seem to think its is a fairly routine and easy thing to do. Not so, the stroke of an executive pen is tremendously costly. Those waivers were written on the torn up scraps of that out dated parchment called the constitution. Lots of hard work went into making sure that document was properly dead and buried.
