ADVERB:
For the specific purpose, case, or situation at hand and for no other: a committee formed ad hoc to address the issue of salaries.
ADJECTIVE:
Formed for or concerned with one specific purpose: an ad hoc compensation committee.
Improvised and often impromptu: "On an ad hoc basis, Congress has . . . placed . . . ceilings on military aid to specific countries" (New York Times).
ad hoc law, then, is the worst kind: made up for "the situation at hand", i.e., at the judge's whim, arbitrary and capricious in nature.
A country bound by such decisions is not a democracy, or even a Republic. It is a judicial oligarchy, a krytocracy, a word I had never heard until some writers started using it a few weeks ago.
I would have had him in handcuffs when I pulled up to that so called Hospice and ordered that Pinellas Posse to stand down or else
That is precisely what I would have done. And not lost any sleep over the decision.
And as far as feeling sick about it, and not wanting to ever lose that feeling, well, I feel the same damn way.
That such a thing could happen now is beyond belief to me.
