Because the US legislature stopped making laws, courts make laws instead, and they do it based on who's taking them on luxury trips.

The US legislature is in effect half a dozen sugar babies.

Because the US legislature stopped making laws

They haven't stopped making laws. We are inundated with new laws every legislation cycle (the current cycle being more an exception than a rule). But the enforcement of these laws is up to the various USA offices. And the judicial bench has been stacked with ultra-conservative judges more interested in Christian morality than civil rights or social equity.

Consequently, what laws we do get are often twisted against their stated purpose by subsequent administrations.
