Have no idea why you would say that. There are countless different moral and ethical codes across our country. None of them supersede the law. That is why we have the law, to bind us no matter our moral and ethical differences. You may explore your guilt with a therapist but you do not do that with a lawyer. Religion does not supersede the law no matter how much some people may want it to.
