MAYBE THE LAW IS A ASS

This comment includes a quote from Charles Dickens.   A further explanation of   THE LAW IS A ASS  (sic)  may be found on another post on thishere blog.   Look for  “A PLEA FOR OVERTURN OF NJ DOT LAW”.   Here, then, is this particular post:  

Dr. Laura says:  WHATEVER THE LAW SAYS, DO.  You would think that would be a liberal talking.

What does a liberal say, then?

On the May 27, 2001, “MEET THE PRESS” (NBC-TV, with Tim Russert), James Carville, chief apologist for William Jefferson Clinton, dismisses the law (Carville is a lawyer).  Challenged by Russert, Carville snapped:  “The law is just a sheet of paper!”

So, it depends not on whether you are conservative or liberal; it depends on what suits your purpose.

As the learned Harvey Diltitcher once said, if the facts are on your side, try the facts.  If the law’s on your side, try the law.

The NJDOT conveniently elects for the latter.
