The law

[outlier_lynn]

I love reading or listening to Supreme Court arguments. (www.oyez.org). I just realized what one of my underlying reasons is. It is mostly an unemotional set of arguments. Public opinion is not put forth. It is almost entirely arguments about language.

It is an intellectual exercise.

And I can see why many Americans are certain that "activist judges legislate from the bench." Those Americans either don't listen to the arguments or can't understand them.
