A notable example is the approach to soft drugs in the Netherlands. Despite being illegal, the public prosecutor has chosen not to enforce the law. To the point that many if not most think they’re legal.
This situation presents a complex issue to me: it involves a small group of individuals (the prosecutor’s office) effectively deciding to disregard the broader democratic process and the will of the voters. When such things happen, I believe they should be rare, pragmatic and temporary.
What’s your view on the matter?
Hmm, I can see how it creates a dynamic where the executive, in increasing magnitude, starts to ignore the other branches of government. With a loud minority of the voters encouraging it. Just to spite the previous administration. - “Now it’s our time” reasoning.
Precisely how many conservatives excuse Trumps actions. And they are right, the executive branch has been accumulating power for decades and enforcing rules selectively. Trump is simply more transparent about it than any other before him.
