Is it your position that sending a bomb through the U.S. mail across state lines is NOT against the law? No. Do you think that because a federal agency is used or that state lines are crossed that the crime doesn't exist until the federal government defines it as such?

If there is no federal law against an action or behavior, then it can't be against federal law. Likewise with state law.
You can't arrest and prosecute anybody for an act, if there is no law on the books against it. That goes for state and federal jurisdictions. Ex post facto, and all that.
So you think the Unabomber is illegally imprisoned?
