The whole issue is a source of sick amusement to them. More than a couple of them have admitted. Now who thinks s***ting on the Constitution and the rule of law is “funny”? Conservatives??!?!?!
They’re sick freaks. And if they think they’re influencing anyone or changing anyone’s mind they’re stupider than I thought. Heck, hardly anyone reads their puke; I don’t unless my eyes happen to read a sentence while I skim over their comments. I ceased reading their puked up drivel months ago.
We are simply trying to explain how the rule of law works to you, since you don't seem to understand. We respect the rule of law, and don't want to see it castigated by conservatives in a self-destructive, Ahabesque quest for a white whale that in all likelihood does not even exist.
“A Man for All Seasons” captures the essential issue quite well:
ALICE: He is! Arrest him!
MARGARET: Father, that man’s bad.
MORE: There is no law against that.
ROPER: There is! God’s law!
MORE: Then God can arrest him.
ROPER: Sophistication upon sophistication!
MORE: No, sheer simplicity. The law, Roper, the law. I know what’s legal not what’s right. And I’ll stick to what’s legal.
ROPER: Then you set man’s law above God’s!
MORE: No, far below; but let me draw your attention to a fact-I’m not God. The currents and eddies of right and wrong, which you find such plain sailing, I can’t navigate. I’m no voyager. But in the thickets of the law, oh, there I’m a forester. I doubt if there’s a man alive who could follow me there, thank God . . .(He says this last to himself)
ALICE: (Exasperated, pointing after RICH) While you talk, he’s gone!
MORE: And go he should, if he was the Devil himself, until he broke the law!
ROPER: So now you’d give the Devil benefit of law!
MORE: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
ROPER: I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
MORE: (Roused and excited) Oh? (Advances on ROPER) And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you-where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? (He leaves him) This country’s planted thick with laws from coast to coast-man’s laws, not God’s - and if you cut them down - and you’re just the man to do it - d’you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? (Quietly) Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake.
Humor is simply a potentially appropriate reaction to some of the uninformed, wildly self righteous, way over-the-top hyperventilating on these threads.
