Only Kevin Williamson (With the exception, possibly, of Neal Stephenson) could pull off writing about the origin of written law, the way those laws are constructed grammatically, and make it relevant to our current situation. ~ J.d. Bryden The written law was the first real constraint on the power of kings. An oral tradition is subject to constant on-the-fly revision. Mr. Klein and others of his persuasion would see us return to that primitive state: Oh, sure, the law says that the IRS can only operate on state-created insurance exchanges, but that isn’t what we — and who is this we? — really meant. And besides, things will turn out other than as we desire if we follow the law as written, and who are you, and what is the law, to forbid us our desires? It is easier to think that way when you believe that you represent a uniquely enlightened point of view, that you are acting in the public interest, and that your political rivals are wicked and ignorant. ~ Kevin Williamson
