“I have wondered for a long time what business a Republic that is supposed to represent the will of the people has passing laws no one can comprehend.
And yet the folks in Washington crank out new regulations and laws that no one can interpret all day long. “
I believe that’s because The application of law is different than the statement of law.
A law gets passed, then amended or changed as circumstances change.
It’s not just DC that churns out laws. Every governing body with the power to do so writes laws.
Like a lot of things the actual reality of law is a lot messier than the theory of law.
That wasn’t the goal of the Founding Fathers. Their goal was to put a check on that very sort of thing happening.
Remember Tacitus’ words? “Laws were most numerous when the state was most corrupt.” No state is eternal, especially when being attacked from within. The Founding Fathers learned from history; leftists unilaterally reject history.
