day no. 16,027: legal fiction and narrative truth

"It (the law) has acted in direct opposition to its proper end; it has destroyed its own object; it has been employed in annihilating that justice which it ought to have established, in effacing amongst Rights, that limit which it was its true mission to respect; it has placed the collective force in the service of those who wish to traffic, without risk and without scruple, in the persons, the liberty, and the property of others; it has converted plunder into a right, that it may protect it, and lawful defense into a crime, that it may punish it." - Frederic Bastiast, The Law

When the law is used to promote what is unlawful and to punish that which is law-abiding, it ceases to be legal. It is out of step with its aim. It cannot be upheld by injustice. It is out of alignment with its standard.

The law must answer to the Law-giver. A resolution passed does not a divine mandate make. The days cannot be lengthened by legislation. Bills can be passed redefining what a day is, but they have no affect on the hustle of the heavenlies. Light travels at the same rate regardless. Executive orders have no jurisdiction over what is just.

When laws are weaponized to forbid what God commands and to command what God forbids, the laws and lesser law-makers are under condemnation and the people are obligated to fire them. Legal fiction must be edited by narrative truth.
