You may be sure in your heart, but that's not how law works.

The law is a thousand years old and still working.

But what did you do when the law didn't work?

In fact, such laws work where they have been tried.

The Bush administration now wants to put the 1996 law to work.

Maybe the law is not working the way Congress meant it.

Other officials also question whether the law has worked as intended.

The law doesn't work against a man, it works for him.

But they know the way the law works, you've got to give them that.

They come to us when the law is not working.
