-- I simply said we must be prepared to accept the penalty when we do not. --

That, plus the notion that the penalty is just, because we live in a law-ordered society, and the courts, by definition, never get it wrong.

And, "love it or leave it."

Sprinkled with a few "If you don't agree, then you don't understand"'s.

Please remember that “justness’ is a matter of opinion.

You and I have very different opinions of what is right and just regarding firearms than Hillary and Obama, etc. do.

What I am talking about is reality. Complaining that a court decision should not be followed because it is wrong is simply “pizzing in the wind.”

Regarding “correctness” or “justness,” I once told Tom DeLay in an interview that not only did he have the votes to pass a certain bill, but I thought it was the “right” thing to do.

He said “If you have the votes, it doesn’t matter if your measure is right or wrong.... and if you don’t have the votes it doesn’t matter if it is right or wrong either. In most cases, it will take 100 years of history to tell if an action was right or wrong. In the present, real world, we can’t know its “rightness,” so it’s the votes that count.”
