Couldn't agree more, Charlie. If a law enforcement officer refuses to enforce the existing laws, he/she should be fired, charged and prosecuted as an accessory.

Pols are not all involved in enforcement. In fact few are. And even if they are - enforcing to what extent? Thus the police with limited resources don't spend as much time on minor offenses and so on. and if thinking about immigration laws, if police in places like Paterson NJ or Astoria (Queens) started to ask immigration related questions of every witness to a crime, the witnesses would clam up. But in the Colorado shooting, the refusal to enforce was pointed and terribly misguided.
I was thinking of the concept of politicians who are reluctant to enforce established law on politicians, including former but not sitting Presidents. Yes, I understand there is no point in charging if there is not probability of conviction. IтАЩm worried the DOJ is going to run out of runway before they take off. It would be a convenient excuse personally but it would do untold damage to the United States as a democracy.

The same for any - and every - politician.
