People keep saying that but you have to realize that laws are only enforceable or even a thing when the mechanisms in place and society wants to enforce it. There is a bunch of outdated laws that everyone kinda decides to not enforce it anymore. And here we have all the 3 powers that should keep each other in check all working together. Most of Congress (both the Senate and the House of representative), the courts and the executive branch all supporting the government agenda, and it is both on all levels of government, local, state and federal. And to make it worse, all the media corporations that sometimes work as a 4th power also support it and close to half the population also supports the government. So it does not matter if it is legal or not.
