The Rocky thinks the law is optional
In a Saturday editorial, the Rocky seems to say it's OK for a government agent to illegally tap a secret database and then pass the stolen information on to a political candidate so that it can be disseminated across Colorado's airwaves:
There is no reason whatever that the arrest records and aliases of an illegal immigrant - or anyone else - should be kept under wraps, with the possibility of prison for those who breach the secrecy.
There are a lot of stupid laws. Fortunately, we have a lot of ways to change them. You can petition your elected representatives. Or even put an initiative on the ballot.
What you can't do is commit a crime and then shrug your shoulders when you get caught and say, "You know, I never cared much for that law anyway."
In this country, we are ruled by laws, not men. Even if you're Bob Beauprez. The Rocky's spin is nothing less than un-American.
