Founders Morning Quote

This mornings quote is one that all of our legislators should keep in mind as their respective sessions start today.

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be to-morrow."

--James Madison (likely), Federalist No. 62, 1788

Sadly it seems that there is a competition to make legislation as incomprehensible as possible so that only the "experts" can understand it.....
