Uhh, should a "prosecutor" with good legal cause decide that a certain law cannot or should not be prosecuted in a particular case, they may be justified. But for a prosecutor or a chief executive to demonstrate complete refusal to enforce any specific law within its purview is lawless and SHOULD be prosecuted against its presumptuous violator!!<br /> <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-70416397855846947422022-08-07T22:57:56.514-04:002022-08-07T22:57:56.514-04:00Ray, you're right: the crumbling foundations o...Ray, you're right: the crumbling foundations of law and order in America are entirely consistent with the crumbling foundations of every other aspect of our culture -- a culture which is despised by the very elite that we've tasked with upholding it. The comprehensive domination by the Left over EVERY major institution we have is enough to make a thoughtful conservative throw in the towel...or sign up with the Dark Side. Come to think of it, I ought to keep a BLM t-shirt hanging in the back of my closet just in case. I'm nothing if not adaptable!<br /><br />Jack, I think one could argue that "critical legal studies" is a rejection of both Roman law and common law in favor of a new form of theocracy. What is "law", and what is "true"? Simple: it's whatever the high priests of leftism say it is. Sounds like a religion to me.

The "Critical Legal Studies " school conveniently poo-poos all that. "Why statutes are merely products of elites protecting their dominance and attendant privileges." " Their consequently enabled "court law" is merely their obsequious product. ""Therefore it is productive of justice to disable statutory law and its institutions and eradicate the rule of precedent in case law". " Let all case law be the product of incidental judgement by a properly educated platonian elite.

In it the teacher presented the concept of the"democratic wager". This concept held that when we institutionalize democracy we take a chance on whether it can ensure justice. The "american" left has decided that it does not . The "Critical Legal Studies" school, which forcefully dominates many of our law schools (I mean, question it and you will have no career) inculcates this conclusion in many of lawyers (unto now the 3d generation ,which includes now some in the very legal "professional" heirarchy who now practice.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-79962616637419137172022-08-07T10:53:22.918-04:002022-08-07T10:53:22.918-04:00RAY TO NICK
