To Some Lawyers, All Facts Are Created

The Real Rulers In Washington Are Invisible, And Exercise Power From Behind The Scenes.

Litigation Is The Pursuit Of Practical Ends, Not A Game Of Chess.

Congress Is, After All, Not A Body Of Laymen Unfamiliar With The Commonplaces Of Our Law. This Legislation Was The Formulation Of The Two Judiciary Committees, All Of Whom Are Lawyers, And The Congress Is Predominately A Lawyers' Body.

Ours Is An Accusatorial, And Not An Inquisitorial, System - A System In Which The State Must Establish Guilt By Evidence Independently And Freely Secured, And May Not, By Coercion, Prove Its Charge Against An Accused Out Of His Own Mouth.

All Our Work, Our Whole Life Is A Matter Of Semantics, Because Words Are The Tools With Which We Work, The Material Out Of Which Laws Are Made, Out Of Which The Constitution Was Written. Everything Depends On Our Understanding Of Them.
