Law is a messy dirty thing.

"We tend to think of law as this pristine fair thing, but its not.  You have to remember that law is conceived by  politicians.  It's a messy dirty thing." -PoliSci Constitutional Law Professor

Law is a messy dirty thing. We tend to create walls between what we consider law and what we consider politics. There really is no division, just the ones we create in our own minds.  Law is created by politicians, its their child. It is not black and white, nor pristine and pure, though we aspire it to be.
