The human condition is to desire that justice be brought to everyone except oneself--one desires mercy for oneself.
The American condition is to assume that mercy is an entitlement. Of course that is an oxymoron, because mercy, by definition, cannot be an entitlement. Mercy is when something bad is supposed to happen to you, but out of random benevolence, someone (or Someone) finds a solution so that you do not have to suffer the pain that you have coming.
Loopholes are not an entitlement, either.
Try telling that to the American Bar Association.
