Sweet Jesus, I've officially seen it all.
I'm going to have to remember this for future debates. Let me make sure I understand this correctly: all I have to do is point out that, once upon a time, a government passed a bad law, and/or did a bad thing, and because we can all agree today that it was bad -> a logical miracle occurs -> therefore, the current law that I don't like is also illegitimate.
Did I get that right?
