“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow.” – James Madison
The Editors’ Quote of the Day:
Madison makes a worthy point about the transitory nature of ‘law’ du jour.
In the olden days, laws were wrote in stone.
Oddly, few laws wrote in stone dictate wearing masks (aka ‘face-masks’) during this phase of this Economic Lock-Down…
The founders of our country believed in the Natural Law. Now days the idea of Natural Law brings expressed outrage by the Libtard Media; especially when a Supreme Justice of the United States talks and writes about the Natural Law.
The US Declaration of Independence: =
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their ~Creator with certain ~unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, …”

The libtards believe that the only ‘rights’ the ‘little-people’ have are the rights granted by our government elites; NOT by a God in Heaven.
Its even worse when the laws are ignored- the Cheat is on!
2000 page bills.
Not read by anyone in Congress.
Not written by anyone in Congress.
Written by lobbyists who bribe congress critters to put their names on the bills.
Filled with graft, corruption and blank checks to the writers and their clients.
That modify older bills passed by previous congresses also having never been read by anyone.
God Bless America.
