    They do specialise in taking second holidays and homes while claiming back unnecessary or untrue expenses.

    Well, some of them do. That's the kind of thing there should be good laws against.

  11. There function is to interpret the law as it is written. I despise justices on both sides who try to rewrite it as they see fit.

    Historically, it has worked. All of the justices apointed by Nixon went against him during Watergate. More recently, they seem to have less backbone.
