And yet, government sidesteps the Constitution regularly anyway, and uses weasel words to justify it. Government operates entirely through claims to authority individuals do not have, and thus cannot rightly delegate to politicians.
"Private contractors" as government proxies are clearly a problem, and corporations are government-established legal fictions with special privileges and immunities, but this is clearly a flaw of government more than anything else.
I would caution against appealing to legality to support a rational argument, too. After all, slavery was "legal" across most of the world until quite recently, and the Underground Railroad was "illegal," for just one obvious example.
Point is well taken. I have long differentiated between what is legal and what is lawful, the former being whatever scribblings are undertaken by shills for our overlords, and the latter being what is actually just.
