Here are three clear reasons a law can be said to “make no sense”:
1. Vagueness or poor drafting
- If wording is ambiguous or undefined, people can’t tell what behavior is actually prohibited. That invites arbitrary enforcement and legal challenges because citizens lack fair notice of what’s illegal.
2. Unenforceable or impractical
- A rule that can’t realistically be monitored or verified (e.g., depends on private thoughts, requires constant surveillance, or needs impossible proof) wastes enforcement resources and won’t achieve its purpose.
3. No rational basis / causes disproportionate harm
- If the law doesn’t meaningfully advance a legitimate public interest or the harms it causes (costs, rights infringements, unintended side effects) far exceed any benefit, it’s irrational and counterproductive.
If you want, give me a specific law and I’ll explain three concrete reasons it doesn’t make sense.
