re: #187 jaunte

From your link:

Curious; on searching further, Tribe uses the metaphor of curved space to describe the effect of law on society. Sounds very ‘penumbra’-like. Does anyone here have an institutional JSTOR account?
[Link: www.jstor.org…]

Physics is about repeatable results based on the mechanistic nature of matter and energy in a three-dimensional universe.

Law is based on argument, obfuscation, dissembling, and often outright falsification to convince a jury that when you drop a pencil in a gravity field, it only falls if in doing so it helps your client’s case.

What’s Tribe going to do for an encore? Send his resume to Hogwarts and apply for Dumbledore’s job?
