THE DURABILITY OF OUR ACTS: NATURAL LAW CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT LEGISLATION REGULATION AND FINDINGS OF THE COURT

–“It’s not “a law.” It’s an amendment to the Constitution”–

I’m increasingly astounded by the presumptions of the common folk, and their overestimation of their knowledge and comprehension – and worse their capacity for deduction. I’m aware just how rapidly cognition declines, but the rate at which it declines and the severity of it, depresses me whenever I encounter it.

While the term ‘law’ should of course apply only to the natural common concurrent law of cooperation it is, both in the field, and colloquially, used to cover the entire body of laws of nature, and the text of the constitution, amendment, legislation, regulation, findings of the court, and even in some cases ‘commands’ (orders) – and as such the term refers to the totality of rules of decidability at the court’s disposal in the resolution of conflicts.

While at present we have (unfortunately) no sunset dates for via-positivas of legislation and regulation, and of course sunsets are unnecessary for foundational premises such as the natural law, constitution, amendments, and findings of the court. The natural law is unchangeable, the constitution reflects the natural law such that it requires little other than clarification (though there are about six or eight holes in it at present), amendments need changing infrequently as demographics, strategy, and knowledge evolve, and the findings of the court are subject to continuous revision as our demographics, strategy, and knowledge evolve.
