Nobody cares if politicians break the law anymore, unless they are on the other team.
The problem is if the people who make the law cant follow the law then we have a problem.
Binary politics makes breaking the law a non issue, because 30% Americans will defend it as long as the crime is not too extreme. Insider trading, using campaign funds to buy your book or pay your rent, or anything short of murder, your team will defend the shit out of your law breaking, weather the initial storm and then you can go back to breaking the law, because accountability no longer matters.
Everyone gets a trophy generation, are not held accountable, so why would I think, they would hold politicians accountable.
