yes i'm not saying that she was ignorant of the law, i'm saying that most americans (those who vilifying her) are not well aware of how the laws work.

i'm not arguing that she didn't commit a crime not am i arguing that such crimes should go unpunished, i'm just saying that i am not outraged or offended by her lack remorse. I completely identify with it and i question how we can vilify one individual for committing a crime that is so common amongst her peers.
