THE FOREST OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

RS. a guest contributor here, by kind invitation, teaches Con-Law and contributed this to a professorial debate over how to organize the subject to teach it, in reaction against a surfeit of academic tongue.

THE FOREST OF CON-LAW

The Fathers planted a forest, grown thick, with cultivation, and wild, for centuries.

Students have difficulty seeing this forest for the trees.

Professors survey the forest:  trees, roots, branches, leaves and tangled bushes.

The wind blows, rustling, bending, leaning, all in the forest, and the parts.

A forest fire.

Hurricanes.

Fog.

Clearing is required.

Look at the trees.

Look at the wind.

Look at the fog.

How?
