Shouldn't a reasonable, thoughtful adult be following the law?
Nope,not always. It's called "jury nullification".You've probably heard the term. But you may not know that many top legal scholars,including those involved in our early history,were supporters of it...in certain cases at least.
Not all prosecutors are entirely ethical.Not all witnesses are entirely correct...or honest.
Or let's put it another way...do you trust the ethical and patriotic intentions of the "prosecutors" in the House to treat the President fairly in the coming months?
No,I didn't think so.
