As the cases argued before the courts have all become part of constitutional law so the practical exclusion of the understanding of the common man has grown more complete.

I agree. The frightening aspect of this hurried pace to ever more convoluted law is that those who use “law” to force political change and accumulate political power will find some interpretation that grants them any authority they desire, and most of the common folk will soon declare the intentionally distorted rules of their society to be hopelessly contaminated and completely irrelevenant.

Many are saying that the corruption is now so severe that only one of two logical outcomes appears to be possible at this point, tyranny or anarchy.

ONe of the most attractive aspects of the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994 was its declared intention to start weeding some of these laws out.

Anarchy will not result from not having laws but from having so many that it is impossible to know them all or which apply to what. We need to start doing some serious chopping on every level of government. There are even more ridiculous laws on the local and state books than on the federal. Some are hysterically ridiculous.
