If/when we run this country on compassion and emotion, only.. we end up in a mess... whoever has the most muscle rules... our laws are a foundation on which we live. For too many years we have floated and been loose on following those laws.. today too many think we should still just float.. whatever they want
Like drug laws. When marijuana is a felony crime but almost half of the population uses it regularly, you don't get much respect for the law.
