Principle over policy part 1
By Tarisai P Ziyambi
In a recent report on the mainstream media, Sotomayor of the US supreme court in her descent argument regarding the bias of the legislature towards the executive policies shows that the rule of law and justice is in a dangerous place. Recently the sentencing of Roger Stone and the release from prison of the former Illinois governor who served seven years in what can be viewed as miscarriage of justice is another indicator of the failing system of policy over principle. As a keen observer of current world events in relation to my beliefs and reasoning, it is my biased view that the ability of any form of government including that of self will always be in a state of conflict when the seats of it's judiciary is dependent on policy over principle. It is arguable that the role of the judiciary is to enforce policies of the legislature, this however is in my view the foundation of tyranny of the executive under the guise of the majority as represented by the party political legislature. The argument above already has concluded my mens rea and actus rea in my grievous violence towards the status quo in the legal field and it's fallacies masked as justice.
The civil rights leader Martin Luther King jr in one of his sermons argued that the Three Hebrew man in Daniel chapter three, exercised civil disobedience as the policy of Nebuchadnezzar, the magistrates etc required them to worship against the dictate of their conscience and he also added that he too would have exercised principle over policy is he was living in the days of Hitler and his associates.
