But laws are just encodes morality.

Absolutely not.

It was illegal to harbour escaped slaves. Or hide Jews from the Gestapo.

Laws have nothing to do with morality. Or justice.

		Yes they do, but not with a philosophical concept of morality, but merely those of the ruling class/majority.

Funny how morality so often benefits incumbents and the powerful.

Many of them are, but they're focused on big picture issues and preventing harm. Most of morality has no legal force.
