A law that is so stupid and profoundly inadequate but remains in existence because it gives lawmakers an erection when considering its monetary benefits. Erection law. Look for it in your textbooks.
Oh, you're a sociopath and want to act as your own defense in court? Sure! Erection Law!
Or basically all laws that involve a plea bargain that gives you an inadequate sentence to an intolerable offense. See: manslaughter.

"No matter how storage-containers are arranged in a stack, the one you want will always be on the bottom, and so you'll have to move all of the others first."
Regardless of whether you arrange a stack of boxes in alphabetical/numerical order from top to bottom or bottom to top, Murphy's Law of stacked boxes will always "get you" --- i.e., da box you'll need will always be ether da first or last one, depending on which way you stacked them, and so you'll always need to take them all down to get to da one you need.

This law comes into play when a person uses the phrases "shouldn't we be focusing on the soliders" or "shouldn't we be focusing on the war?" when they deem a certain news item frivolous. The longer the conversation about said 'frivolous" news goes on, the more likely it is that someone will bring up soldiers or war and that others will start parroting the phrase. It's often used to shut down a conversation, after all, who can argue that the news shouldn't be focusing on the war or on soldiers? However, they person using Roddan's law is rightfully ignored.
"I can't believe that they're showing all this news about this celebrity!" cried Bob "Why don't they focus this much on our real heroes, the soldiers?"
"If you're so worried about the soldiers, why don't you donate to the veterans or volunteer to work with them?" asked Jim.
"Nah. I just wanna sit in my chair, sip my beer, and say 'oh, that's so sad' or 'man, that's a true hero!' when the news comes on. Makes me feel like a patriotic American!"
"Roddan's Law" said Jim and shook his head sadly.
