Their biggest fear is that we push an amendment through requiring all laws to be written in plain, simple, indisputable English. That would break up the legal aristocracy.

How about an amendment requiring that all court cases be supportable without reference to case law? Although it is right and proper that case law should be used in cases where reasonable judges might produce differing opinions, case law should not be used to justify any decision which would not be justifiable in its absense.

As I learned in a land description class: "concise clarity, without ambiguity". Keep it short, simple and to the point, although, I, too, ramble on at times. Yup.
