"The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundation of our confederated fabric.

They are construing our constitution from a coordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone.

This will lay all things at their feet...

We shall see if they are bold enough to take the daring stride their five lawyers have lately taken.

...they consider themselves secure for life; they sculk from responsibility to public opinion ...

An opinion is huddled up in conclave, perhaps by a majority of one, delivered as if unanimous, and with the silent acquiescence of lazy or timid associates, by a crafty chief judge, who sophisticates the law to his mind, by the turn of his own reasoning...

Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Thomas Ritchie, December 25, 1820

So, "properly understood," per "Lawdog's" "educational" "service," it is "common"

("in" or "at?")

"law" that:

1. a "judge"

(flesh and blood man/woman, now generally recognized as, and usually required to be, a member of a for-profit professional at-law practicing attorney's monopoly closed-shop fraternal trade guild BAR ASSOCIATION assuming and/or granted and holding TITLES of "ESQUIRE" and "HONOR")

2. assumes

(backed by large bodies of heavily armed corporate municipal troops),

3. or otherwise somehow "HAS" Constitutional "legislative Powers"

("To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof"),

4. and with, by, and through "personal" "BELIEF"

("opinion," see above),

not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof, or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty,

5. "makes"

(legislates from the bench?)

6. "judge made" "law?"
