It's not sad at all. You wouldn't want a legal process that was concerned with morals instead of law. Morals are not universal; they are vague and subjective. Law is the anchor for evaluating adherence to moral norms we've agreed upon via our legislature.



To clarify, I agree with you, I used "sad" as a shortcut for "as much as you'd like it to be what you say, it's not"
