FACE THE MUSIC!

As ridiculous as it is that voters expect their state representatives to enforce their wishes on the county and local level on the issue of sports arenas; and that contractors conflate the cost of repairs under warranty to the most expensive homes they can build; is it that ridiculous that voters expect their legislators to stand for the principle of the rule of law, let alone not undermine it from above?

I hope you see the people in the streets and I hope that things go well, but some out there will be thinking; if politicians don’t stand for the rule of law, only criminals will be patriots.

While I am one that is turned off by the thought of marching in the streets like sheep, and the diversity of concerns is frustrating, even civil disobedience requires a line to cross, where in politics and the highest offices there is often no line. It requires a line and the guts to face the music I might add; for those that break the law, no matter what, deserve justice.
