By definition, it's not a violation if it's reasonable. It's not just the government that decides that, of course. The courts have a role, but so do we.

The courts are part of the government. As for "we", I don't remember ever being asked what's reasonable. Do you?

Good catch. I meant 'the Executive branch', not 'the government'.

As far as being personally asked about any particular law, it doesn't work like that. 'We' express our displeasure through our Congressmen, and if enough people are unhappy about something, they'll either get on board with us, or not get reelected.
