Says it all.

It certainly says that you don't know what "jury instructions" are, or what the difference between findings of law and findings of fact are.

And where exactly did our "law" come from? From whom was it derived? The Founders of our country understood this basic fact (and would be spinning in their graves if they knew the degree to which we've regressed). As an example, consider that bastion of higher learning:
"In 1634 when Harvard College was founded, the governors of the school adopted a seal and motto which was intended (according to Josiah Quincy, president of Harvard in the early nineteenth century) to represent the fact that truth was to be found only in the Scriptures, not in words of man’s devising. Within a few years, the original motto was changed from "truth" to In Christi Gloriam (In Christ Be Glory) and later to Christo et Ecclesiae (For Christ and Church) because succeeding overseers of the college were continually concerned that Christ not be omitted from the instruction provided at the school".

Well flash forward to the 21st Century and we have the common acceptance that our 'law' can be disconnected from the truth.

I reject the notion that a person can't bring the Word of God with him wherever he goes (I'm not talking about the Bill Clinton Jumbo Sized version). A nation that disregards its foundation won't stand for long. Our forefathers understood that simple fact. Today's generation does not.
