One of the neat thing about Administrative law is it vary precise as to who is responsible for a rule. Hidden in the rule you will find buried the definition of who they are referring to. "All Persons" is to broad. Just know this that a properly executed pleading on "Subject matter jurisdiction" Stops or at least sets the judge and prosecution up for federal prosecution.

The heart of Administrative law is deception!

Of course you had no way of knowing that your elected reps had no power to take away any right, that would have involved common sense to know that. Public education frowns on common sense, that's why it is so uncommon.

I feel the best you can say at least, for myself is, "I'm only responsible for my own ignorance".
