The executive branch and the legislative branch may not be beyond it but the judicial branch thinks it’s too good for such shenanigans. And what you think you’re too good for can certainly have an effect on the decisions you make. Especially when those decisions are about what other people can and can’t do.
At any rate, you’re shouting in the wind. People who are trying to use canaries are trying to hold back the dike. If you’ve got proof that it’s not worth the effort and–better yet–a more workable solution, do tell.
