There is nothing, it turns out, that Bartolo Colon can't do. The 42-year-old Colon launched the first home run of his 19-year career on Saturday, taking Padres pitcher James Shields deep for a two-run shot in the second inning of a at Petco Park.

The rule of law is the principle that law should govern a nation, as opposed to being governed by decisions of individual government officials.
The purpose of law is to preserve freedom and moral age ncy. The rule of law ensures that judges decide disputes in terms of existing known and general rules and not according to the perceived desirability of particular outcomes. The purpose of the judge is to maintain an order, not to attain some specific result or direct society's resources to particular persons or uses.
