(10,597 posts)... "Give me liberty, or give me death!" I don't need to tell you who said that in the 18th century right here in America. That adage is very similar or equivalent to "Let justice be done, though the world perish."
You're saying the world is going to end if we actually practice what we preach, i.e. if we search for justice and let heads roll. If we can't be true to our creed, then alrighty then. We need to change the creed. We need to ditch all our phony platitudes, the Constitution and just rule by edict. Or just change the Constitution to add a new set of laws for those "above the law." NOT!
Damn right. I get real self-righteous and sanctimonious when someone apologizes for high crimes and misdemeanors. We're either a nation of laws or we're not.
It's never to late to do the right thing, cheapdate.
