Aside from the fear of getting caught for breaking the law and being punished? I would argue that fear of punishment isn't enough to sustain the integrity and viability of the law, and the authority of the legal system, over the long term. People need to see that the laws make sense and that they are administered as impartially as possible (allowing for man's fallen nature and that fact's impact on all aspects of life).
So, in that context, I would say that the U.S. Attorney Journal isn't really helping: "AG Merrick Garland Refuses to Enforce Laws Protecting SCOTUS".
This guy has really turned out to be a genuine enemy of the people, acting in the guise of the nation's chief law enforcer. Just another of the many sordid ironies of the Biden maladministration.
Absolutely none.

V: Perfect example.
