"Common sense"
What it is: that virtue possessed and displayed by people you like when they agree with you, regardless of any law, rule, logic or precedent.
What it is not: absence of same, as displayed by people you do not like when they attempt to assert their position through use of law, rule, logic or precedent that clearly favors their argument.
This can all be easily condensed. The "officials" subscribe to the following belief (popular among law enforcement and other value-deficient groups) as to inter-personal relationships and authority:
Me parent, you child. Do it because I said so.
