    Less legislation, more action

    The problem with passing more legislation to criminalize something that is already illegal is that we have an executive branch that has explicitly declared that it doesn't have to follow the law.

    The real focus for ending these horrible practices is to impeach and convict the president and vice president for breaking the law. These crimes are so serious that criminal charges should be sought too.
