The Common Law of England has been laboriously built about a mythical figure-the figure of 'The Reasonable Man'.
Our constitution, in short, is a judge-made constitution, and it bears on its face all the features, good and bad, of judge-made law.
What makes sense is not law, syntax, rules or structure
Expedience, not justice, is the rule of contemporary American law.
These people, as far as I can see, do not congregate in the notorious centers of the movement, like the North Beach in San Francisco or Greenwich Village, or Venice, California.

There may not be a Heaven, but there is a San Francisco.
