We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I therefore believe that our system does not have a word for failed trial, and that is where the American public does not realize that our criminal justice system sometimes makes mistakes.
We are a nation of laws, and breaking those laws have consequences.
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.
The law is only our best approximation of justice, and the law needs constant revision.
It is time to go on the offense. Hold people accountable for the wrongdoings they do and commit against the American people, use the vestiges of the Constitution which gives us the outline of how we hold them accountable and make the Justice Department do their job.
If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
When people accept breaking the law as normal, something happens to the whole society.
There is respect for law, and then there is complicity in lawlessness.
There is one system of justice, demanding that all be held accountable when laws are broken.
It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.
