Struggling against the legalism of simple obedience, we end by setting up the most dangerous law of all, the law of the world and the law of grace.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

A jurist can obey the letter of the law and violate its spirit, or it can follow the spirit of the law and violate the letter of the law. I want someone who can reconcile the letter and the spirit of the law without partisan leanings.
