That seems like the opposite sentiment from that of the Founders’ when drafting the Constitution. They created a system of checks and balances to protect the nation even when corrupt enforcers were in charge. Of course it’s quite easy - just to assume that you can put the right people in charge and everything will turn out ok; but that won’t happen, from time to time corrupt enforcers will find their way into power, which is exactly the time that the theory of limited government is intended to take over and prevent them from causing inordinate damage.
We know that when leftists are in power they’ll do everything in their power to expand the scope of the state. One would hope that when right-wingers had the opportunity they would use their power to limit that scope - you might actually have a level of equilibrium. Leftists come into power and write pages of new, unnecessary laws; rightists come into power rescind them all. If only.
There is good legislation, and bad legislation, and unfortunately there is far too little of the former and far too much of the latter, so much so that many of us on the right are prone to knee-jerk reactions to repeal any law we can so that the left doesn't get the opportunity to abuse it.
With respect to the SVA, the system of checks and balances is working. It was passed by a popularly elected legislature, signed by a President elected by the electoral college, was struck down in a lower court and is now under appeal at the SCOTUS.
Yes its easy to say we should just strike down any law we can because the left may expand and abuse their enforcement powers, and there's much bad legislation on which I heartily agree with that. However, we need to be very careful good laws don't get thrown out with that bathwater, because the left has bigger designs on the culture, and undermining the credibility and respectability of the military is one of those objectives.
By cheapening the recognition of meritorious service and damaging the respect due those who have honorably served this nation, their ends are furthered. This law inhibits their ability to do that.
