Laws are made to be "multiplied" through misinterpretation, for no law is "fool-proof"...
IF EVER I HAD A COUNTRY - LXXXI (81)
IF ever I had a country, a country without even a single Shredding Machine
And if ever I were elected/nominated/appointed by the powers that be SPEAKER of the Lower House of Parliament whose power to shine however were to be curtailed by the Upper House’s sheen
A country where all laws were enacted without much heed to the rhyme nor reason of the Bard’s Stratford-upon-Avon’s mellifluous flow of theme
Where every legal analyst: Professor of law Attorney-at-Law entertained his or her own opinion as to what the Laws of the State: relating to the Chief Executive, Rules and Regulations of Proceedings in or out of officialdom: libels, torts, crimes, misdemeanours or even what the Constitution may mean
And if ever any elected official or foreign dignitary were to be invited or chose to invite himself whether by rights or not to address the House and read from a
« tele-prompter » or printed text that was obviously Ghost-written, I’d shred the Speech with my front-teeth and unkempt nails and jump up and down with glee as though I were dancing the polka on the printed pages as they most certainly blatantly comport ideas, words and expressions of some heinous GHOST come to tease, torture, detract, confound, contradict and condemn all that is decent in the human being which is not mean
And all this, so be it, I swear before the populace I can never be GUILTY of breaking the LAW should I shred the words of some GHOST who lies, distorts, turns on head some or all the TRUTHS held to be sacred in my Nation’s History since no ghost may rightfully sue me (Sleep tight, Peach of a Teach !) for having even stolen a measly red, yellow or green pea, pod or bean
And this, even if I were to be put through the piranha jaws of the Republic’s Shredding-Immigration-Machine
Even if I never ever had no country worthy of being shredded and pulverized in the Wall of Black Holes’s grinding-machine
I've listened recently to panels of lawyers discuss minute elements of the impeachment of Donald Trump. These clever little devils were able to take almost any argument and show it could be reduced to an absurdity, thus leaving me to conclude that most (perhaps all) legal argumentation is little more than an exercise in fallacious thinking. How enlightening! The rule of law is a myth perpetrated by lawyers for the sole purpose of creating the illusion that they are doing something worthwhile--for $300 per hour.
I admire your viewpoint, both as a lawyer, and as a minority observer abroad with all the experience you have had both in government and in literature.
In this case, I believe you are referring to the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, tearing up Donald Trump's ghost written script for the State of the Union message to the people. Since the transcript and full video are widely available, tearing up her copy amounted to very little except as a protest to the "misleading and out of context, sometimes false," nature of the speech. Carefully not written by Trump, but certainly to his approval by his "loyal (royal)" staff.
Rest assured. If any of those statements give the Donald any headache during his upcoming campaign, whoever wrote them's heads will roll. I think it's time to bring back the guillotine and have the common people rise up and see who's heads will be next.
