The greatest and most glorious democratic movement I have seen this year was by lawyers. Not totally surprising because their profession is law. They were marching in their suits and ties, confronted by police, beaten, arrested and carted off. Marching. They were marching for the rule of law. They were marching against a president who arbitrarily was above the law. It was glorious. It was great. It revived my faith in mankind, democracy, the rule of law. In a second I would have marched with them. However, I was in the United States of America and they were in Pakistan.

Sigh... if only this could happen here... And you'd think the lawyers would be the ones who would start such an uprising in this country.
