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 mans bad.
MORE: There is no law against that.
ROPER: There is! Gods law!
MORE: Then God can arrest him.
ROPER: Sophistication upon sophistication!
MORE: No, sheer simplicity. The law, Roper, the law. I know whats legal not whats right. And Ill stick to whats legal.
ROPER: Then you set mans law above Gods!
MORE: No, far below; but let me draw your attention to a fact-Im not God. The currents and eddies of right and wrong, which you find such plain sailing, I cant navigate. Im no voyager. But in the thickets of the law, oh, there Im a forester. I doubt if theres a man alive who could follow me there, thank God . . .(He says this last to himself)
ALICE: (Exasperated, pointing after RICH) While you talk, hes gone!
MORE: And go he should, if he was the Devil himself, until he broke the law!
ROPER: So now youd 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: Id 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 countrys planted thick with laws from coast to coast-mans laws, not Gods - and if you cut them down - and youre just the man to do it - dyou really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? (Quietly) Yes, Id give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safetys sake.
Humor is simply a potentially appropriate reaction to some of the uninformed, wildly self righteous, way over-the-top hyperventilating on these threads.
“We are simply trying to explain how the rule of law works...”
And meatloaf.
Don’t forget the meatloaf.
I see you posted to me but if you think I’ll read your puked up drivel, think again.
