The Crystallized Past

Folder: 
Law

*

Those who say that court case precedents

should guide current judgments

are saying that the dead hand of

the past should choke the

evolving world.  Precedent

is the crystallized lifeless past,

not the living present.

The law is what the judge ate for breakfast


The law is the mark of a dragging foot upon the sands of time.
