The arguments stemming from the rule of law always remind of this:

The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella; But chiefly on the just, because The unjust hath the just’s umbrella.




This is very clever and an interestingly adversarial (the unjust steal from the just) take on the quote that came to my mind: “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”


They complement each other beautifully.
