Well, it only makes sense if you believe in some concept of the law that exists independently of what humans make it to be. And I don't. So to me it reads as nonsense, or more practically, the point at which I won't bother trying to reason further with the person making it.
It is irrefutable and definitional, even redundant. It goes without saying, but when said, it is usually used to justify applying the letter of the law to contravene its spirit, or forsake real justice. Gino has somewhat the right take, and I would hope that American justice wouldn't need the accent.
But that also assumes some intelligence on the part of legislators. Someone pointed out that the school shooter in Connecticut broke 7 different gun laws before even getting to the school, not to mention the laws against murder and multiple murder he broke afterward. The solution? More gun laws!

sounds like it should be spoken with an east euro accent.
