No one is above the law

A concept of common sense today is mostly obtained by the continuous struggle of predecessors. The audience's "he's out of time." It sounds really bitter.

The judge said it well.

“You invited yourself here to make a final stand.

You invited yourself to the wrong forum.

Out nation tolerates differences of opinions because we have a civilized and non-violent way of resolving our conflicts.

We have the means and methods to protest laws with which we disagree.

You can criticize the law, lecture about the law, speak to the media or petition voters, but you must always stay within the limits provided by the law.

You may not break the law or take the law into your own hands.

No one's unmindful of the controversy and emotion that exists over end-of-life issues and pain control.

I assume the debate will continue in a calm and reasoned forum long after this trial, and your activities have faded from the public memory.

But this trial was not about that controversy.

This trial is about you, sir.

You've ignored and challenged the legislature and the Supreme Court.

Moreover, you've defied your own medical profession.

This trial was about lawlessness, about your disregard for a society that exists and flourished because of the strength of our legal system.

No one is above the law.”

But just from the point of view of the movie, the first part is a bit boring... Maybe this is the reality~ For him, it is normal to do a normal thing.

You Don't Know Jack quotes

  • Geoffery Fieger: The court of appeals' ruling just came in and they ruled in our favor. They said that the law was so poorly worded that it could not be upheld.

    Jack Kevorkian: Oh. Well, I'm glad to hear there's still some smart people in power left.

    Geoffery Fieger: That was the good news. They also ruled that there's no constitutional right to commit suicide...

    Jack Kevorkian: I take back what I just said.

    Geoffery Fieger: ...and that aiding in one falls under an old common-law definition of murder.

    Jack Kevorkian: Common law? What the hell is that?

  • Jack Kevorkian: Oh, the lingering of death. What a business. Keep death alive. Hospitals don't make money otherwise. Drug companies either. If you're rich and you have the money, you can pay to die. But the poor, they can only afford to stick it out and suffer.
