VERY little law, IMO, is written NOT to solve some perceived, real, imagined or actual 'problem' in our political system these days. We could go DEEPLY into the reasons why it works this way (it parallels the the reason why GOOD news merits no press) - but I don't get things done here (like the dishes) if I were to veer off on that tangent.
