Brian Montieth writing in the Scotsman asks the pertinent question of our times that should be on every journalist's lips these days.
Where are we going when our politicians interpret the law for their own convenience instead of impartially upholding the law of the land?
Perhaps we should be asking this same question of the Police, and the Crown Prosecution Service as well, particularly as it falls to the police to impartially uphold the law on our streets. We seem to be on a slippery slope, and not just in Scotland.
Why are our MPs in Parliament not discussing these topics? They are supposed to hold our government to account on our behalf, yet they vote along party lines.
Respect for the law should not be a matter for party politics.
