In this very central issue of the very nature of our society.
Does morality drive/dictate the law?
Should it?
If not, what does?
Does morality drive/dictate the law?
Should it?
When you use the law to argue against doing the moral thing, or if you argue on the basis win/lose politically….you are then arguing against morality.
Why would you argue against morality?
Doesn’t allowing politics to to rule over both morality and the rule of law ….mean in essence that we are morally deficient? Do we WANT to be morally deficient?
Or are we just too morally deficient to do anything about our moral deficiency? What WOULD we do, if we were not morally deficient.
It is a question of morality. A deep deep one. It is not business as usual and addressing it as such does not do it or us a service.
Everyone who is paying attention knows crimes were committed, crimes which were also immoral, so what is stopping us from remedying that?
We have to address it on those terms.
Whether we win or lose, we have to morally address that.
