Can't people on DU find forgiveness in their hearts?

50. That's now how it works, you're licensed in the state you work in.

States don't require you to know every other states laws to be able to be licensed in said state. There is absolutely no legal expectation that they know what they're doing in other states.

This is not clear cut like torture, states real estate law differs from state to state, there's no general idea of what real estate law means, particularly when it regards paperwork signed by proxy. Some states allow it, other states require deeds to be on record, etc. MERS has won several lawsuits in states where their behavior is allowed, and every robosigner responsible for it has got off scott free (and arguably did nothing illegal in that state).

You're advocating allowing some states with laws against some behavior, trump those states with laws for some behavior, which itself is highly non-progressive. At the bare minimum the people in charge are responsible for knowing whether or not a given state allows said behavior, and if those people in charge tell the peons to behave a certain way that goes against a state law, those people in charge need to be charged with crimes, not those who followed what they believe were normal.

Again, this is not like torture, torture has clearly defined lines. This is about workers doing something illegal in one state that is legal in another. You cannot expect me to believe those workers are "responsible" when their bosses likely knew the end results and compelled the workers to behave that way. It's bullshit, non-progressive, and puts the onus on the workers and not the managers with regards to legality. That's just totally wrong. These people did nothing inherently wrong except do what they were told so they could keep their jobs!
