NO, NO, NO. The law is the law.

Laws can be wrong. For instance there were many laws on books about segregation before they were fought in courts. Before they were overturned the legal precedence was overwhelmingly opposed to desegregation. The rights of Blacks had to be championed and won through court cases that argued against the overwhelming preponderance of laws on the books.

I still remember as a child in the 60's going down south and being utterly shocked at the separate drinking fountains, doors etc. for blacks. My Grandfather was nervous about how shocked I was and concerned that I might speak out against it. He warned me to keep my mouth shut so that we did not get lynched. He knew I had a track record of confronting even grown ups vigorously if I felt that what they were doing was wrong.

RE:”Laws can be wrong. Before they were overturned the legal precedence ..”

That was not the issue being discussed. Obviously laws have been repealed or overturned.

These groupies were complaining because Megyn Kelly is tasked to be a legal expert by FNC (and she does it expertly) and they want her to instead give O Reilly type ‘morality vs the law’ speeches. She is not acting as political commentator. I actually like to see someone not cloud up all subjects with their personal views, vs those playing to the audience emotions like BoR or liberals (John Edwards is a good example.)
