A deeper problem regarding codification, regulation, and legislation arises.

Most municipalities and counties tend to procure copies of codes such as the International Building Code and its brethren from the ICC, edit the codes which have embedded recommended ordinances, to make their adoption a simple uneducated process.

Sort of like ObamaCare and Nancy Pelosi’s infamous, “we have to vote it in, to find out what it means” approach.

Once the code becomes law, administrators appear to be empowered with considerable authority to enforce the “code”.

If our courts truly want to uphold the Constitution, it would wise to emphasize this distinction between a legislative body approving a code they so not understand and an administration’s authority to enforce an unknown code.

Too many administrators who are not professionally trained in the codes, attempt to develop their skills by becoming adroit in code minutia as a substitute for professional skills. Further, those who seek worldly advancement, tend to seek power more than service, but will use the request for their service as justification for their seeking more power and control over the public.

It is virtually impossible to comply with these codes without paying homage to a type of antichristian worldly power system. We act by them, not so much en toto, but in bits and parts, as the need arises. They sneak into the culture, but IMHO are very dangerous.
