By a "non activist" Judiciary, of course.
But that's not my point. Section 5 and many environmental and financial regulations are under attack by those who say, in effect, "those bad old days are over, we don't need those laws any more . . .".
Ok, fine. So what? What's the big deal about leaving them on the books, even if they don't need to be used? What's the point of abolishing a law that prevents you from doing something?
The only reason is so you can go back to doing the prohibited activity. And not go to jail.
See? Simple. And that's the only reason.
After all, if no murders have happened, in the last few years, we don't revoke the laws against murder, do we? Not been mugged lately? Revoke the laws against armed robbery and assault, right?
Well, no, not really.
Sheesh.
