I was going to say that's not a hypothetical.
These are real cases.
There's a guy named John Hasnas, his essay, The Myth of Objective Laws in the Anarchist Handbook.
And these are real legal cases.
There was a woman, old woman, she signed up for salsa lessons.
And it was like $1,000 a lesson.
And he sued her and she went to the judge.
The judge said exactly what you said with the aid.
He's like, this is ridiculous.
However, there's the other worldview, a legal view of what's written is the law.
The judge should not interpret it.
And they should just basically go exactly by what it says.
Let me say one point.
This happened when Roe v. Wade was overturned in Arizona,
when Roe v. Wade was overturned nationwide, there had been this law from Arizona in like 1879 or something that said abortion is illegal.
And they're like, what do we do?
Because now that law's on the books, Roe v. Wade is no longer overturning it, and they just pretended it wasn't there.
Have a nice day.
Fine, but my point is it's a slippery โ and I'm not saying it's wrong.
