I've always been driven by the concept of equal justice under the law but only the rich can pay great sums of money for legal assistance and that puts them at an advantage over the poor.

Let's create a legal system that can work.

When I started law school I was shocked to learn that our legal system traditionally had the man as the head and master of the family. As late as the '70s and '80s when we were fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment states like Louisiana still had a head and master law.

Therefore if we are a Nation of laws and a Nation of immigrants immigration should occur within a legal framework not through the machinations of illegal schemes and scams that threaten our national security.

We not only have a legal obligation to honor our commitments we have a moral obligation to provide the coverage we promised to provide to these people.

However we do not lack anti-terrorist laws. I do not believe that the recent London bombs were the result of any deficiencies in our legal system.

Even in the beginning when we knew there was a legal argument about how much our song sounds like his song as one songwriter to another I wasn't sure that Cat Stevens would take that as bad.

Words without deeds violates the moral and legal obligation we have under the genocide convention but more importantly violates our sense of right and wrong and the standards we have as human beings about looking to care for one another.

But you can count the dead bodies from alcohol tobacco and legal pharmaceuticals by the millions.

Every non-political human grouping of whatever kind legal social religious economic or other becomes at last political if it creates an opposition deep enough to range men against one another as enemies.
