Ambulance Chasing Lawyers
The lowest form of animal life; they are the arseholes who use the law in ways for which it was not intended. Some of these scumbags, quite literally, follow ambulances carrying people, involved in traffic accidents, to hospital in order to get them to make a claim against the other party involved. In Britain, these bastards use human rights law to prevent paedophile rapists from being deported back to their country of origin. They’re the ones who act on behalf of terrorists to pursue damages against troops who were doing their duty under incredibly difficult circumstances. Why do they do it? For money, they cynically exploit the law that is supposed to protect people to make themselves rich. They are vermin and should be treated as such.
“An online petition has been set up to make it legal to kill ambulance chasing lawyers!”

Genghis Khan's laws
Genghis Khan developed the Yassa code of laws. There were a lot of laws that existed in the Yassa code, but the most significant are listed below:
- There is only one God
- All religions are to be respected and the government should show no preference to any one religion
- Under penalty of death, no man can proclaim himself to be emperor unless he has been elected by a council of Mongol Nobles
- Homosexuality is punishable by death
- Adultery is punishable by death
- Children of concubines are legitimate and should receive their fair share of heritage from their father
- No subordinate or official of the Mongol Empire is allowed to take a Mongol in as a slave. All men (with rare exceptions) must join the army
- If a soldier pillages during war before the commanding officer has given him permission, he shall be put to death. But after the permission to pillage has been given to the soldier, he shall be given the same opportunity to carry off his loot as the officer.
- Leaders of a religion (preachers, monks, etc.), physicians, and those who bathe the bodies of the dead are to be freed from public charges.
- It is illegal to cut the throats of animals that are to be slain for food. Instead, the animals are to be bound, have their chest opened, and their hearts pulled out and squeezed by the hunter.

"If one must drink, then let one drink thrice a month, for more is bad. If one gets drunk twice a month, it is better; if one gets drunk once a month, that is better still; and if one doesn't drink at all, that is the best of all." -Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan's Laws were heavily influenced by Mongol morality, and philosophy.

John Roberts Laws
21st Century US laws that restrict voter turnout among minorities and people with limited incomes.
In Shelby County v. Holder, 2013, the US Supreme Court declared parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 unconstitutional in a 5-4 decision. The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Only justices appointed by Republican presidents voted to strike down the law.
Chief Justice Roberts later wrote in McCutcheon: There is no right more basic in our democracy than the right to participate in electing our political leaders.
McCutcheon removed aggregate spending limits on campaign contributions.
Linda Greenhouse @ NY Times noted: Roberts's subject then was the right to spend money in politics, not the right to vote. If people conclude that the current Supreme Court majority cares more about the first than the second — surely a logical inference — the court will have entered a dangerous place.
After Shelby, many states with a history of poll bias - previously ended by the Voting Rights Act - passed laws designed to suppress voter turnout. These laws include so-called Voter ID laws, reductions in early voting, and restricting acceptable ID to ID more often held by Republicans - for example, Texas polls accept gun licenses, but not state college ID.
In honor of Chief Justice John Roberts opinion in Shelby, and the similarity of laws that followed to Jim Crow laws, these laws are now known as John Roberts Laws, aka Voter Suppression Laws or the Republican Poll.

Republicans were embarrassed by undemocratically winning a gerrymandered House majority while losing the popular vote for it in an un-American fashion, so they declared a fake mandate and passed a bunch of John Roberts Laws to punish and disenfranchise the people who voted against them.
