yes, but is the same thing like when people use rules intended to protect human rights, like habeas corpus, or fair trial, to get away from the law. abuses don`t means that, in some circumstances, the argument isn`t true, it depends on the context. Saddam Hussein, for example, for sure wasn`t a Hitler.
as i said.....there are times when it is true, and times when it isnt
and what abused rules exactly are you referring to?
