"Crimes against an infinite authority necessitate an infinite punishment, makes sense. "
Sure, Stat, that would make sense if you were a despot interested in the relative measure of your authority over the relative weight of the actual crime committed when doling out punishment. So, say, stealing from a tyrant should require more punishment than stealing from a beggar. After all, the tyrant has more authority.
Round these parts, we punish according to the weight -of the crime-...not the weight of -the body doling out punitive measures-. If we did it the way that "makes sense", to you, every crime would have precisely the same punitive actions associated, as the weight of the authority doling out those actions is unchanged between any two entirely disparate crimes.
What a joke.
