Even a poorly thought out law is the law, right?

Here is a quote from USA Today regarding weather or not the Administration was required to notify Congress 30 days in advance of prisoner releases. The law indeed requires this. However,

Warned Congress❓Oversight❓Objected to❓Tie the President’s hands (a possible intent of the law)❓

Weather the law is practical or not, does not matter, it’s the law and it was signed into law by the President who, by the way, could have vetoed it.

Doesn’t this provide a clear view of the arrogant attitude and mind set of the people running our country? It’s not a pretty picture. In fact, it’s kind of scary.
