[Modernman]

A government's laws must be in fidelity to natural law -- G-d's relevation, or they are naught. The law that allows murder or suicide is a foul law, and foul the judge that applies it. Such judges are OUTLAWS.

(Shrug) Go convince your representatives that a certain law is immoral, then. They are free to change the law. It is not the proper role of a judge to determine whether a law meets some religious standard.

Life -- the preservation thereof, the stopping of a murder is a primary law, non-secretarian. Yes LIFE is a religious mandate, too. And a Judge who stands by "letter of law" to allow a muder to continue has thus nullified the whole authority of his judgement.
