Fair enough, but in this case hasnt the Judge assumed a superior morality and then forced it upon the personal wishes of a dead man?
Has he not, in this case, effectively said that what the deceased has done does not conform with his morality and then altered the contract to adhere to that stated morality despite the fact that what the deceased did was legal?
I see it as a difference between morality and legality. The Judge is there to uphold the latter, not the former.
