THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG

What feels like a century ago, I audited a few law courses at a small law school near where I worked.  Some things I learned there have stayed with me all my life.  One of the things, said to me, was: Noone has the right to be wrong.  If I were an official of the Trump Administration, faced with the dilemma of either following the dictates of my boss or those of a legislative body capable of levying large fines for failure to comply I would not count on my boss to have any right to be wrong.
