Ignorance, is no excuse under the law we are told

BUT WHITE PRIVILEGE, SURE AS HELL IS ... and trump sure as hell tries to play that card about russian bounties

Ignorantia juris non excusat or Ignorantia legis neminem excusat is a Latin maxim which means "ignorance of the law does not excuse" or "ignorance of the law excuses no one." The rationale of this maxim is that if ignorance of law was an excuse then any person charged with a criminal offense or subject of a civil suit can claim that he or she was unaware of the law in question and avoid liability.
