the law is no protection
why does the language and writing in so many laws/bills suck and why does no one care? this bill made me think this. do legislators suck at writing? or are they all just dishonest shitbags?

then I read stuff like this that judges have written and I wonder why people like this are not writing laws!

is this a question of writing ability or ethics? I'm not really sure.

i believe that law makers have a vested interest in making laws non-transparent to hide their pork-barreling and to justify their own existence as a lawmaker with superior understanding of laws than laymen. kind of like why you would expect accountants to lobby for more complex tax laws. so I vote shitbags.
