legal system

«It is not the responsibility of the government or the legal system to protect a citizen from himself»
Author: Casey Percell | Keywords: legal system
«Although a system may cease to exist in the legal sense or as a structure of power, its values (or anti-values), its philosophy, its teachings remain in us. They rule our thinking, our conduct, our attitude to others. The situation is a demonic paradox: we have toppled the system but we still carry its genes.»
«This is the fundamental premise of how the U.S. legal system functions ? you are responsible for your own actions. God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, the Grand Master of the KKK, the President of Ford Motor Company cannot be held responsible for your actions. God doesn't go to jail for the pound of weed you got caught going over the Laredo with - even though he apparently has the knowledge, power, and care to prevent it ? you go to jail. God passes go and the courts collect two hundred dollars.»
«Under the English legal system you are innocent until you are shown to be Irish.»
«This condition obtains even where there is no slavery in the legal sense. It is found where as in caste system, some persons are forced to carry on the prescribed callings which are not their choice.»
«No civilization would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.»
«The legal system is often a mystery, and we, its priests, preside over rituals baffling to everyday citizens.»
