    continue to have a legal system based on wordplay

    that’s exactly what we’re actually having today. i think the term for that is legalism, i.e. deciding what is right and what is wrong based on what is written in the law, without considering anything else like context or subjective opinion of the judge.

      That’s right, I’d argue we’re even past that though… We’re at a place where the supreme Court is humoring grammar based arguments to create constitutional powers never mentioned anywhere

      It’s honestly civilization ending
