    If everyone is guilty of crimes against the state, no one is guilty of crimes against the state.

      If everyone’s guilty of crimes against the state then everybody’s in for a bad time. The population of the USA is going to go way down over the next few years.

      That’s really not how that works.

      It’s really more like… If everyone is guilty of crimes against the state, then anyone can be imprisoned at any time.

      (All at the discretion of those in charge.) This is really a much worse situation for everyone.
