Tin-Pot Tony Evers' Really Bad Example

Hagedorn was a pleasant surprise.  And it was "surprise", as Hagedorn is the prototype Government-Man.  Even he couldn't figure how to jimmy the plain meaning of the law, so Evers got a long-overdue slapdown.

But Tin-Pot's action raises a question:  if there is no law for HIM, then why is there any law for US?

Inquiring minds, and all that.
