Actually, one of the functions of our court system is to determine whether laws are constitutionally VALID or not.

A frightening trend we have seen in this country is that it's becoming harder and harder for the average person to avoid breaking the law and still maintain a free, convenient life.

How often do you stop at green lights while there is traffic behind you?

Then you should either learn to obey traffic lights or not use that intersection. Weren't you listening to the other trolls in this thread?!

I'll just continue to use Safari and Chrome on my iPhone. I plan on swapping out to something with Android in a few years anyway.

You're actually demonstrating the exact attitude we don't want to deal with in the office.

Then I would argue that she was a gold-digger that wasn't worth keeping. She obviously didn't care about the man himself.
