@null_hypothesis @adamshostack @Haste One thing I understand in my non-lawyer ignorance: the law is whatever the process of the legal system has decided it is.

It is •not• what what the literal words of the law say, or what makes obvious sense, or what would be best, or what we want, or what legislators intended, or or or…. You can’t argue or analyze your way to understanding it.

There’s only way to know what the law actually is, and that’s to study law.
