You are being pedantic. I'm done with you.
Lawyers are the curse of our society, from politicians to judges to those attempting to justify their own self-worth.
I have dealt with many over my decades of business. I have disdain for them and the two defending them here exemplify why.
Legality is all they believe.
Nothing about morality, about honor, about true justice. Most simply suck.
A judge which decides he/she/it is the only law is one judge we do not need.
