We could even codify it on an old piece of parchment and have a bunch of dudes in wigs sign it. It would look even better if we put the number “four” in front of it.

(Thanks in no small part to none other than John Marshall himself! Talk about your separation of powers!) Why should the cops be worse than John Q. Citizen?

Enforced by the full coercive power of the state…..

Hmmmm can there be a law where I can seize a tow truck for 12 hours and make its owner cough up a few hundred to get it back?
