The law is agnostic about truth. It's very skeptical of ultimate truth. That's why freedom of speech permits lies to be told.

I don't think the law exists to arrive at the truth. If it did, we wouldn't have exclusionary rules, we wouldn't have presumptions of innocence, we wouldn't have proof beyond reasonable doubt. There's an enormous difference between the role of truth in law and the role of truth in science. In law, truth is one among many goals.

The enemies of the Christian religion and the Law of God confuse law with faith.

Faith properly informs the religious lawyer or judge, and morality is not in tension with fidelity to the law.

Truth can be a matter of perspective, but I also think there's a truth that exists, that there are laws to the universe the way Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King believed.

Either the law exists, or it does not.

Law is mind without reason.

We cannot uphold the rule of law only when it is consistent with our beliefs. We must uphold it even when it protects behavior that we don't like or is unattractive or is not admirable or that might even be hurtful.

The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.

When a person is determined to believe something, the very absurdity of the doctrine confirms them in their faith.
