      How can law be anything other than patterns of enforcement?

      At some point if you get far enough up your own ass about the law as a scholar subject you enter these really weird dominions where it just becomes philosophy again, except it masquerades as a hard science. I'm not kidding about this, once you get on the meta-level of stuff there's just loads and loads of law scholars arguing to and fro about what laws there should be, pointing out "loopholes" for a lack of a better term that should be fixed by whatever legislative body you have and writing recommendations based on law scholarship and not, say, any sort of beliefs or values you might hold.

      It puts forth pretty much exactly what this clown is arguing, that there's some set of correct laws and some set of not-correct ones. To anyone who is not overeducated to the point of becoming a useless moron trying to decipher a religion you make up, this is obviously nonsense.

      If it is anything else, who gives a shit about law when it’s patterns of enforcement that affect people and shape society?

      Much like many landmark architectural works are designed for architects, by architects, this is the same.

        values are much more like the slant of laws given by the constitution, of course the us consitution there is loud by its unequal treatment of its population and foudational discrimination and racism
