Either you follow ALL laws or you don’t. Laws should be blindly applied. If you pick and choose, Hillaries of the world will be treated differently. And they are treated differently. No exception. If the law is in the books, either repeal it or apply it!

We are human beings, not machines. Nothing is done perfectly. Law must have heart - it no longer does. It is a machine grinding us up and spitting us out. And and a result, we've lost any discussion of appropriateness. That's what jury nullification is about - deciding NOT to apply the law when it's an ass. Hillary is getting away with her crimes because when you allow heartlessness, people become jaded and vicious and cowardly, and from that, tyranny arises.

Whatever, don't worry about it.

I take it you aren’t what we would call a strict constitutionalist?

“We are human beings, not machines. Nothing is done perfectly. Law must have heart - it no longer does.”

Is this your version of the “heartless” tirade? Sorry, but justice SHOULD be blind. Constitution guarantees equality before the law. It should be just(ice) and applied evenly for all. Not “heart warming application” above the law. Equality before the law!

No, Talisker. There is a difference between mercy in the law and the rule of men, which is what Hillary is being afforded, is a huge gulf. Hillary is being given a pass on everything she does because of who she is, not because she deserves mercy. That is what the rule of men is all about. The LAW is being set aside by men, who choose to ignore what the law says. When MEN can say the law is what they say it is, not what is written, then anarchy prevails.

You are advocating the rule of men with your desire for a company to set aside policy merely because you have sympathy for the father who has lost his son.
