[DiogenesLamp]

While I appreciate your legal research, I very greatly doubt most people bother to read any of it.

I know I usually just skip over it.

It is much words, often with trivial or insignificant points.

The opinions of past courts are still just opinions, and are not built on first principles.

We can see from modern times, that the law changes according to the will of judges, but it should instead reflect original intent, but only if the law is created in a legitimate process.

Not by occupying armies. That process is not legitimate.

It is much words, often with trivial or insignificant points.

You always find that the numerous Supreme Court opinions are trivial and insignificant. What is significant is your bleatings, directly contrary to centuries of court holdings.

The words are the law. Intent is not.
