Expedience, not justice, is the rule of contemporary American law.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Justice is merely incidental to law and order.
All human laws are, properly speaking, only declaratory; they have no power over the substance of original justice.
Justice is a certain rectitude of mind whereby a man does what he ought to do in the circumstances confronting him.
Law and justice are not always the same.
Justice in the extreme is often unjust.
It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.
Very often the law of extremity demands an attention to irrelevance.
'Exculpatory' is in the eye of the beholder.
More often there's a compromise between ethics and expediency.
Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property. Obedience is the premium which we pay for it.
