Laws should be interpreted in a liberal sense so that their intention may be preserved.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.
The rule of law should be upheld by all political parties. They should neither advise others to break the law, nor encourage others to do so even when they strongly disagree with the legislation put forward by the government of the day.
Law builds upon and, I should like to claim, is one of the liberal arts. It uses words of persuasion and changing definitions for practical ends.
Every time the liberals pass a bill - I don't care what it involves - they stick criminal sanctions on it. They don't feel there is any way people are going to keep a law unless they can put them in jail.
Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they serve.
A law is a law, and it has to be respected.
We want laws to be applied predictably.
We must never lose sight of the fact that the law has a moral foundation, and we must never fail to ask ourselves not only what the law is, but what the law should be.
Laws must be clear, precise, and uniform for all citizens.
The law, in our case, seems to make the right; and the very reverse ought to be done - the right should make the law.
