ORIGINAL: Edwynn Thanks for pounding your emphasis at every opportunity that you are incapable of understanding the distinction or difference between the law and actual justice. You've brought it up. So explain it. What IS the difference? I believe we all agree on what the law is - what is "actual justice"? In the first place, if we all agreed on what the law is, there would be no need for the court system. I'm not proclaiming that there is a precise definition of what constitutes justice at any given time in the course of a society's rendering or estimation of such. But I would hope that at least some here would recognize that some laws and some verdicts have not always gone hand in hand with many people's concept of justice. If some people are proclaiming (as in fact many here are, yourself apparently among them) that justice always has been and still is defined by current (or contemporaneous) law, or by any and every jury verdict or court decision, then we are thereby informed that the former slave laws, e.g., and the several court decisions that upheld those laws, constitute 'justice.'
