Mark Shurtleff and his "Reasonable Expectations"

Mark Shurtleff is the Attorney General of the State of Utah. He is an elected official. His job is to enforce the law in the State of Utah. Besides the Governor he is the top law enforcement official for the state. Mark Shurtleff wrote an editorial in the Provo paper. You can read it here. In his editorial he claims that Illegal immigration is a minor offense that should be ignored. Kind of like speeding. He also foolishly and in a more alarming manner claims that the "rule of law" is an outdated mode of thinking. He claims that one only need to "try" and comply with the law and that this alone is sufficient. Under this failed and foolish thinking, one could also argue that bank robbery, murder, sexual assault or any otehr illegal activity might not be all that bad depending on your definition of the "rule of law" and how it should be applied. This ridiculous and flawed thinking is also called "the philosophy of man". This justification of illegal activity is very disappointing coming from the Attorney General of the state of Utah. With all of his legal training you would think even he would be able to see how pathetic it sounds. His purpose in writing the editorial can no doubt be traced to the the unconstitutional amnesty bill recently passed in Utah. since most thinking Utahans don't support his amnesty bill, he felt compelled to write this emotional toilet paper of a piece to somehow try and justify and support his weak and flawed position on the bill. In the end, HB 116 will either be repealed, thrown out in court or made irrelevant by national law. Please Mr. Shurtleff, spare yourself the further humiliation and give up before you look even more stupid and pathetic.
