It's the Law!

I think?
An interesting article. And the Justice Dept. has a weird take on this...The Justice Department has said it could identify the secret law under seal, which would be available to the judges in the case -- but any public description of the contents of the law would not be permitted, and defense attorneys wouldn't be allowed to see the law.

The department argues that national security concerns make it necessary that directives dealing with transportation be kept secret, refusing even to confirm or deny the existence of the law.

But in America, said James Harrison, an attorney representing Gilmore, "we do not have secret laws."


Imagine being stopped by the police..."OK, you're under arrest." "But what did I do officer?" "I'm sorry, but it's a secret...now put your hands behind your back."
