The purpose of the law is not to prevent a future offense, but to punish the one actually committed

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept

Law is an ass, an idiot.

I personally think that he did violate the law, that he committed impeachable offenses. But I don't think that he thinks he did.

There is far too much law for those who can afford it and far too little for those who cannot.
