Law Amendments ? or What else ?
Law
Rhetorical scraps.
Thieves are known enemies to : Lawyers, to
Codes. Codification is illuminative. Common Law is darkness
visible.
Under fictitious Law, security is an empty name.
Law is a fiction so is security: one fiction resting upon another.
When Law is itself fictitious, security is not less so
Bottomed in a Code, more lives and fortunes are anchored at anchor
to a rock: bottomed on Common Law they are anchored at anchor
on a mass of weeds, carried in swept together by the tide of events
Built on a Code, may lives and fortunes stand upon
a rock: each drawn upon a mass of Common Law, they
totter on a quicksand.
