I graduated college in the 60s. I recall clearly, even now, a lengthy discussion in Business Law....

....class. The professor told us that for every (legal) injury there is a (legal) remedy. That basic statement took the entire class period to chew on. Lots and lots of hypothetical circumstances were raised. Lots and lots of remedies were proffered by the students and the professor.

The classs left me that. For every injury there is a remedy.

That has followed me for more than fifty years. Today it seems dashed to the benefit of that fucking buffoon in the White House.

There is no wrong without a remedy. "Whenever the common law gives a right or prohibits an injury, it also gives a remedy.

The professor may well have said that. If he did, it failed to penetrate my skull and find a place to dwell.



But thank you for the quote and link.
