Do you think the current system is fair? This really was never about whether judges would make good decisions about it; this was about giving young couples a chance to not automatically be charged with felonies because they violated an absolute rule.

Yes, some judges will make bad decisions, but then, you can't ever have a system which makes 100% fair ones. The idea of having a flexible law is so good judges can make good decisions.
