Laws aren't Justice

[elfs]

This morning on Right Wing Radio (because there is no other kind anymore), one fellow was ranting, "And these protesters shouting 'No Justice, No Peace,' they just don't get it. The border agents are following the law, and following the law is how you get justice."

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. "I was only following the law" and "I was only following orders" don't fly in the face of cruelty.

Not only are Laws not Justice, Orders Aren't Laws

Article from GWB's era when Iraq was just getting rolling, but applies today. Members of the military who are given an unlawful order are *duty-bound* to disobey.

FYI, left-wing talk radio is Thom Hartman on 91.3 KBCS. http://kbcs.fm/programs/thom-hartmann/

So... three hours vs 72 hours of non-stop programming on KVI, KTTH, and KFLE? And Thom Hartman? Really? There's gotta be better than that.
