I'm not just an observer of the legal field, I'm a member of it. My husband and I have a combined total of 73 years in the land of jurisprudence.
One of the things I have learned is: the longer an opinion, the more BS it contains. Not only is the BS necessary to explain the inherently unexplainable, incomprehensible, ridiculous, contemptible, it serves to cover up the fact that the opinion is lacking in brilliance and substance and is nothing more than an infliction upon the populace of the opinions of the black-robed b@$t@rd$ who wrote it.
In re Marriage Cases, the declaration from the California Supreme Court that it can do whatever it wants whenever it wants, came in at a fat 121 pages. With concurring and dissenting opinions, as well as the cast of characters, the total came to 172 pages.
I rest my case.
