Positive Law, Federal Register and USC
Well, through some of my studies I have found that there are a number of Titles of the United States Code that have never been enacted into positive law.& My initial studies (which started by somebody telling me about this)&reveal that the titles that have not been enacted&are 3, 8, 18, 21 and 28.&
This is all very interesting information but from what I can tell, it really doesn't carry that much weight because law actually comes from case cites.
So, if I am way of base here please let me know and help me to understand why.
Also, the reason that I put Federal Register in my title is because it looks to me like this is the information that would be really useful but they make it as confusing as they can so that it can not be utilized.& This is a quote from a letter written in March of 2000, from the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, "The United States Statutes at Large, prepared by the Office of the Federal Register, provides a permanent collection of the laws of each session of Congress, chronologically arranged.& They are legal evidence of the laws contained in them in any court.& However, they are not easy to use because there is no attempt to arrange the laws according to their subject matter or to show the present status of an earlier law as it has been subsequently amended."
So, if I am reading this correcly, whoever the office of the Federal Register is, sure isn't doing a darn thing to help us out.
Let me know what you think,
