Who cares if the decisions are memorable? They don't have to be. It doesn't matter how they are written. People don't go on the Supreme Court to write brilliantly worded decisions, they go on it to assert power. A decision can be one page long and the effect would be the same. "You win and you lose. Why? Because we say so."

Lawyers and judges have their own little way of talking and they expect everyone else to talk like them and to bow down to the idea that their way is the only way to talk and write about the law. They're full of crap. It is a way to create a technocracy and to convince people that the only ones who are qualified to read and decipher the Constitution are lawyers and judges.

Well, the Constitution is not some freakin' quantum physics textbook. Anyone who can read and anyone with a modicum of reading comprehension skills can figure out what it means and, more importantly, has the right to figure out what it means.

Thanks for the short/clear dose of reality versus the endless pompous hyperbole from the elites of the beltway.
