Chidi,
You make a distinction without a difference!
Everything is anchored on morality. Law, Democracy, Rule of Law, and Theocracy! Once the moral underpinning falls, there is anarchy and society falls. Democracy is a moral alternative to autocracy! Law upholds moral rules and when you start making immoral laws, law loses its role in society, Rule of law is the discipline to do what is morally right and correct by law.
Because morality is at the base of all, any self-respecting Judge caught in an immoral act loses the moral right to sit in judgement over others. He should honorably resign!
Cheers.
IBK

AN ENGLISH NURSERY RHYME
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose
The law demands that we atone
When we take things that we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine
The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back
- Anonymous (circa 1764)
