I'm with you on this. The next time I have to go into court over a speeding ticket I'm going to make the court prove that there are laws against speeding, that they are Constitutional, that they are posted, that the cop caught me, that the cop exists, that cars exist, that I exist.

Absurd argument. -- Both defense & prosecution have time limits on arguments.

What they plead in their alloted time before the jury should not be limited, -- according to our constitution..

Get real, hon-ey.

"Both defense & prosecution have time limits on arguments."

LOL! You missed the OJ trial, I assume.

Of course in actuality there are no such thing as time limits in trials. Not on this planet. Maybe where you come from.

There are relevancy limits, however. Demanding proof that the law exists is irrelevant.

If the law didn't exist, there wouldn't have been grounds for an indictment and the case wouldn't have been brought to trial.
