I don't see why one should damn a law just because it doesn't conform to one's personal biases. The law is above this; that is why it works, and why it is necessary. Some say "this is a good law, because it confirms and supports what I believe; and this law is a bad law because it doesn't conform to my prejudices." They are not in fact talking about law at all, but about their own idiosyncrasies.
