It is my experience that libertarians, more than others,
often think their belief systems have force of law, if only
courts behaved correctly. i.e. they genuinely think gun control
is illegal, that persons are not required to pay income tax, etc.
There's a long list of such nonsense. Not prosecuting corporations
is a new one (to me), but it sounds like more of the same.
