Sinecures

2. The nature of the duty may have changed

. Another patron now exists whose fitness for the
passing forming of the judgment in question stands beyond dispute
as being built on the same ground. No matter: the
person by whose judgment can not have been built on
sufficient grounds, he is the person by whose will the claim,
the decision is to be determined: the person the only one
of the two whose judgment can have been built on sufficient
grounds, he is the person by whose will the
choice the decision is not to be determined.

But legislation is not thus an objective that strikes
and with equal force against legislation itself? every
one who legislates is it not for futurity, for contingent
futurity that he legislates?

Most certainly: but in legislation at any rate
in the common cause and with very few exceptions
indeed it is conducted, there is always a proportionately a salvo
a perpetually commodious and perfectly and universally
understood salvo – for the powers of all future legislators.
If in legislation any attempt is ever made to get
rid of this salvo – the attempt thus made so be order
matters that when dead they shall continue and
by an irremoveable yoke to tyrannise over the
adopts the same absurdity, and upon that indefinitely
greater scale.
