I would. The loss of faith that a government is fair and governed by laws, not by men, is far more damaging to the nation than any terrorist attack. So much of our success as a nation depends on the belief that the law is fair. Of course we know that it isn't in fact, but there has to be a commitment to that concept. I could never vote for a governor who would say "if my kid gets in trouble, I will use my special powers as governor to make sure they get special treatment and don't suffer the same treatment I will insist that your kid suffers if he does the same thing my kid did."
