Laws of the Land

Here is the only law about laws: No Law is Partisan.

Here are some other laws:

1) Suffering is contagious. If you care about those who suffer, then you care about people who cause suffering.
2) The political is not personal, and the personal is not political. The relationship operator is wrong. The political affects the personal, and the personal affects the political, but they are distinct and non-interchangeable.
3) A justice system defines consequences for behaviors and consequences for those behaviors outside of that system are not meritocratic, though they may still be in the best interest of a group of people or the public.
4) Political power relationships do not divide right from wrong.
