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?

So you're saying that it's legal for a man in Arkansas to kill a man in Texas because there's no law preventing it?
