If you make a law that doesn't allow politicians to use nepotism...

That law is already there.

Now the question becomes if you ignore that law in spirit if not in fact then what other laws are you happy to ignore?

By the letter of the constitution, blacks count as 3/5 of a non-black when it comes to census time.
Of course we ignore the letter of that law. It's a stupid law.
What other laws will we ignore?

Speed limits, littering laws, loitering laws, etc. Some states have state lotteries while also having banned gambling in the state.
(At least, some used to do that. I can't be bothered to check the current laws w.r.t. lottos and gambling.)

In summary, we ignore any law that we want to and it's not a slippery anything.

Bullshit

All laws are meaningless. Gotcha.

Reductio ad bananum from you?

Reductio ad bananum from you?

Well, no, you basically said if you don't like a law you ignore it (apparently with no consequences?). That sounds to me as if you're saying all laws are meaningless.

You asked what other laws can be ignored and I gave you a list of common laws which are ignored.

I'm not speaking to individuals acting out against the societal norm. I'm talking about societal norms which are directly in opposition to standing laws.

The statement "some laws are meaningless" is not "all laws are meaningless," so yes, you're still using reductio ad bananum.

The nepotism law in government is not ignored, except implicitly by Trump. He's not even breaking it because Jarvanka aren't on any official payroll or working in any official capacity.

So what the rest of your post had to do with anything is beyond me.

We can call that 'non sequitur ad Mojo' if you like.
