Attorneys seem to like the fact that our laws are impossibly complex (to "laymen" that is), because their services are required to make sense of them, and lord that superior knowledge of the serfs. (Note how easily we accept the condescending term "laymen?") As this becomes more and more pervasive, the more distant we become to the concept of "consent of the governed."
The "Law" as it exists now, clouds and obscures the simplicity of what was intended to govern us. It is a ball and chain on liberty being imposed in the name of equality and safety. The system of 'law' that hangs over our heads today, make us all subject to offenses so numerous and onerous, that our ability to live life unmolested by government no longer exists. Our right to exercise our liberty rests now upon the consent of the government.
The only question is, how long until the people have had enough of this and start revolting against the tyrannical courts? The courts and their participants are constantly probing this, to see what they can get away with, like boiling a frog.
In the minds of this people, the Courts are the Ultimate Authority and Last Arbiter of what is is to be done, not done, banned, abolished, forced compliance, restrictor of rights and the establisher of rights. The people themselves have afforded the Courts and the government this power, because the concept of God and nature's God having the sole Authority over inalienable rights has dwindled to the point of irrelevance among the people, so government and it's courts now fill that role.
