The Law: A deeper dive

I love the adjectives that get at the true spirit of law. Like, organic law (constitutions, charters), Legal Positivism (An ujust law is still law), versus Natural Law (an unjust law is no law at all, St. Augustine), and their applications within the provinces of juries, such as jury nullification, which is the equivalent, I think, of the application of Natural Law, to which I otherwise do not prescribe. Municipal codes, Codes of Federal Regulations, case histories, and State and Federal codifications of legislation, which oftentimes subsume well-established case law. Recently, the law was asked to absorb a seditious conspiracy to overthrow a presidental election. The law absorbed the test and in doing so actually revealed its beauty. The visible law of symbols that is recorded as law, as well as the antecedent human stories that form factual bases, are both sociologically driven by human beings. The law is mankind's greatest work. Medicine is next in line, and music rounds out the trifecta. Law is both visible and, most facinating, invisible. The inaudible and invisible is what I find so interesting. The fact that the law is a fabric that unites us all and governs our actions, hopefully ensuring that we do no harm. When the law becomes a subject to question, we can both see it and hear it and then embark on the mental process that justifies its application. The Law behaves very much like Gravity.
