Anon, 1:55pm -- technical means of or relating to technique. Grace did not make a procedural mistake. Instead she intentially or ignorantly violated a substantive law. So either she had bad intent to break the law or she's an incompetent lawyer who doesn't know how to read the law. By your logic, violations of all laws are technical violations because the legislature can always change any law.

Moral may be the wrong word to describe Grace's boo boo, but it definitely was not a technicality. Her morality will be tested though if she chooses to endorse Julia Harrison, who infamously said in 1996 that Asians were rich invaders, thieves, blah, blah, blah. But it sounds like Julia was describing someone like Grace. Let's see how much principle Grace has to not endorse someone who is a bigot against people like Grace and her family. that will be her moral test of character.
