...a law is as much as a consent decree by those governed by it as it is an enforceable mandate, is it not?
Does it not follow that when a measurable majority (granted of course, we haven't reached that on this issue. Yet.) chooses to
de facto ignore a law that it is no longer of value to the society in question?
Laws have power not only thru the ability to enforce them, but moreso, in their ability to be effective and influential by NOT having to expend an undo amount of resources to gain compliance by consensus agreement.
The trend is that such laws will be null and void, first de facto, then by legislation, if you look towards those that will be making law in the not-so-distant future.
Better get ready, I say.

I know you can do better than this and will not indulge it in any way whatsoever.
