The Rule of Law

Here's a guy who understood how the Rule of Law works.

It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow---James Madison

In a few cases, stare decisis is fo' suckas. Roe and Plessey come to mind. But continuous changes in law (and even more in regulation) will lead to disaster.
