My new tagline: There are times when the Rule of Law needs an override.
YUP sometimes, like here, the Law is a Complete ASS!!
As much as I dislike the old coot, I have a quotation from LBJ on my FR homepage that reads:
"You do not examine legislation in light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered." Lyndon Baines Johnson
Yes, we live under laws. Some of them are atrocious.
