The Matts discuss their views on the law as an institution, and whether or not politicians should concern themselves with following the law or being Machiavellian in pursuit of their goals and interests. This is a laid back episode with a fair amount of agreement, although The Rule of Law is definitely a point of departure between the two of us.
This topic was pitched by Ancap Matt. There are a lot of "liberty" oriented people that have odd purity tests that are ignorant of long term strategy. This is not claiming that all of the bad politicians are good in the long run, but a good congressman's compromise might be the best for liberty under certain circumstances.
