AMERICAN LAW UNVEILED
AMERICAN LAW UNVEILED
Too many exceptions destroy any rule, while establishing new rules.
Rules are those that are observed in practice, even if not written. Law is practical, while pretending to be ethical, philosophical, and rational.
That is for show, for consumption. The real deal with rules are their practical outcomes applied to fact.
"Practical," as used here, means that the rules, laws, Constitutions, conform and confine themselves to the powers that be, ruling powers ' needs, desires, interests habitually.
All the rest is pretensive hoax. This pretentiousness is not necessarily unfair, if it were not written to be contrary to true practice otherwise.
Such is the nature of American law.
