law is the profession of specifics… it’s not sophistry; it’s technicality

just like trump is not a convicted rapist: he was convicted of sexual assault

    the law is not intended to deceive. the words are complex by necessity, but complexity is not sophistry

    i think i see the problem. i think you're an Aussie. in your legal system that might actually be true. i'm in statesia. in a past life i wrote a few entries in the Code of Federal Regulations, if that gives you some guess to the quality of the thinking in there. looking for sense in the government is the quickest path to insanity
