[quote=Kusadikika]We are far from being a nation of laws. That may or may not be a good thing at different times but in the long run we would all be better off if we followed the law because it is only under its protection that we all have an equal chance at justice. It is a conscious decision that may not be popular at all times but it is exactly what is meant by public officials whenever they take an oath to uphold the constitution.
One of the clearest articulations of the conflicts between good intentions and following the law I have ever heard were in the trial of Jack Kevorkian who used to help people suffering from terminal illness die peacefully.
The public supported him and nobody could question his noble intentions.
In the article below you can read the Judge Jessica Cooper's statement to Kevorkian before his sentencing. It is very blunt but very clear about where the lines are drawn. If someone here knows Sonko, ask him to read it because he is fond of making his own laws as he goes and one day he may find himself in front of a law respecting judge.
