Ask me anything   Submit   Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good whiskey is barely enough. - M. Twain

    "I quote a celebrated passage from the Book of Deuteronomy: “Justice, justice shalt thou pursue”. The rabbis applied the presumption against redundancy. They said that no word in the Bible was superfluous. So the word “Justice” meant two different things. The first meant law and the second compassion, or as we would say, equity. It is the same word, but it is repeated twice."

    "Where the court is faced with illegal conduct by police or State prosecutors which is so grave as to threaten or undermine the rule of law itself, the court may readily conclude that it will not tolerate, far less endorse, such a state of affairs and so hold that its duty is to stop the case."

    (non-verbatim) The law does not always reflect what is right and wrong. That is why we need to be reminded of the space between those rules. The space that is occupied by common sense and humanity.
