Thank you. I don't know all the law I just know the prinicples the law was made to serve. This case ceased to be a simple matter between two private parties and one lower court judge a long time ago. Not one politician nor one citizen in this country can excuse themselves from duty today.

It is time now to decide if the letter of the law is superior to the principles that create the law. Or to say it in another way; is the principle of abiding by the letter of the law superior to the principle of natural rights like life?

Exceptional situations require exceptional actions and exceptional judgment on those who act to right an injustice. This is not about granting a permanent and absolute authority to the President or Congress it is about exercising the authority to use judgment and apply mercy where those qualities have come into doubt in the system itself.
