abortion of justice

You know, perhaps given my background, I am not so despondent over this. The Constitution is a beautiful document, but that is all it is: a document. Of course, the ruling class will find enough hacks in robes to tell us that pink elephants are in it. People just have to live how they always had lived: do what's moral, don't do what's immoral, and if what you do is at variance with the ruling class, don't get caught. Not complicated.

True, as far as it goes. However, the Constition's a contract too. Breach it, and we enter into a odd stage. Because when a system doesn't have a floor, if it breaks you keep falling.
