Lawlessness in Philadelphia:Government Officials Who Refuse to Follow the Law

Instapundit reports:
LAWLESSNESS in Philadelphia. Hey, why should government officials follow the law? That might interfere with them doing what they want to do!
Click on the Instapundit link for this gem of a quote:
With the economy soft and thousands of Philadelphians delinquent on their mortgages, Sheriff Green this spring refused to hold a court-ordered foreclosure auction. His move raised eyebrows on the bench and dropped jaws among lenders and their attorneys, who accuse him of shirking his duty to enforce legal contracts.
Democracy is a God that fails when government officials refuse to follow the Constitution.
