Sam Smith – One problem I have with the current Trump controversies is that we have lawyers in charge. Communities, churches, politics, and social values seem to have no say which is too bad because if you want someone to live a good life going to lawyers is not often the best solution. Lawyers are there to stop people from doing bad things but to create good values and a better society they’re not the best place to go.
While there’s no easy solution to this, a good place to start is to recognize the limits of law on our behavior. In Trump’s case, he’s clearly violated decent human values but stands a chance to get away with this thanks to the limits of the law.
