1) Politician sees hot-button highly emotional political issue, e.g. "cyberbullying."
2) Politician creates law regarding hot-button issue to look pro-active.
3) Law passes because it's political suicide to go against such a law.
4) At some point, highly publicized case comes up against the law and someone is arrested for it.
5) Case goes before trial, where it is shot down for being unconstitutional.
6) Everyone loses, because the resultant trials cost the government a lot of money, which taxpayers ultimately wind up footing.
Not that I'm cynical or anything, but that's how this crap always goes.
