Laws don’t have to be ‘just’………..they have to be applied justly. Meaning equally to all who fall under the laws’ jurisdiction.
Cruel laws are not in and of themselves unjust. Our Constitution prohibits ‘cruel and unusual punishment’
The good thing about America is that citizens via the ballot box can change laws and/or the legislators who enact them.
The law is all about semantics and the meaning of words. It does not matter whether or not you as a person like it.
