They fought to preserve the Rule of Law, something which you for which you apparently have little respect. Nobody likes every law on the books, and we don't get it right every time, but it's the system and process that has made us the greatest and most compassionate nation on the planet.
Sorry--I don't have respect for a Rule of Law which allows Murder One by a conniving judge and a craven Husband-In-Name-Only.
And your preaching ain't gonna change my attitude.
The "Rule of Law" does not mean squat when it fails to protect and defend innocent life. Apart from that object "Rule of Law" is "Three Empty Words."
