What is the LAW in this case. What's on the books. A court can alter the application of the law after the fact of it being applies, but the base document, the law is the law and there's no opinion as to what it says. If speeding is defined as going over a specific speed limit, then this is the law. A judge can give his opinion in a specific case but his opinion does not alter the law. That seems to be the problem here between us. I'm looking at laws and saying that they apply based on the stated practices of the law breaker and the observed practice of the law breaker by the government. Your saying that the law may or may not have been broken and the stated and observed practices mean nothing until evaluated by a court. i.e. no one is competent to judge other than a judge. > At any rate - the biggest difference here is that you have made up > your mind and I have not, and that pisses you off.

What is upsetting me is what I see as a false argument. Your argument (as I see it and explained by you above) is that laws are not laws but opinions that can be applied. Doesn't matter what is written down be it international law or traffic law. Until a court gives its opinion of the law it's not applicable. So why bother with a law in the first place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:198367 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
