I believe the last couple of days with two lawyers and a couple of wanna be's clearly demonstrate the primary problem of todays judicial system. The courts are not concerned with The Law, they are concerned with their continued existance. This is exemplified by lawyers making reference to 'precedence' instead of 'the law' (ie a codified set of laws that are applicable to all). It's supposed to be 'equal protection under the law', not 'equal protection by the courts'. A court <> the law. ____________________________________________________________________ If the law is based on precedence, why is the Constitution not the final precedence since it's the primary authority?
