<By the way, in case you never noticed, law is remarkably like physics except that we can change it when we want to. >
CB, I have indeed noticed. The Supreme Court declares words mean what they say they mean and they might or might not change the meaning from time to time, or, in the absence of words, invent some to fill the void where there should be a law, in their opinion, which is everywhere where there isn't a law and they want one, or a dollar has not been harnessed.
Nature abhors a vacuum and likewise, lawyers love to fill the cosmos with laws. They can't handle physics or maths laws, but by hokey they sure can cook up a storm of legal causal relationships and create a whole reality where none existed. It's almost like being God. In the beginning, there was a quiet firmament filled with nothing but a black hole. Then, kablamm, a guild of lawyers brought into being a whole infinitely expanding universe of stuff.
Will the number of laws cause sufficient gravitational force and quantum entanglement that the whole lot will collapse back into a black hole?
I wait with bated breath. [Baited breath in American - I guess they love eating fish bait or something].
