What is POFP?
Why do lawyers refer to long documents as briefs and
18-year olds as infants? Why do they use so much Latin when so few of their
clients are Ancient Romans? Is it a conspiracy?
Party of the First Part has the answers! Check out the Website for the
Legalese Hall of Shame; a glossary of legal words linked to Adam Freedman's
columns; tips on writing legal documents in plain English; and more!

My new book....
An originalist manifesto, The Naked Constitution presents a compelling response to the “Living Constitution” theory that allows judges to change the Constitution at will. In this book, Adam Freedman shows how fidelity to the original meaning of the Constitution is the only way to save the Founder Fathers’ ideal of liberty, federalism, and pluralism.

William Safire of the New York Times praises it as "a lighthearted but lucid explanation of legalese."
"Publishers Weekly calls it "hilarious, offbeat and downright bizarre."
Jeremy Blachman, author of Anonymous Lawyer, calls it "hugely
entertaining."

I have to point out from a factually level that there is an over population problem so when people who already are a danger to our species create problems... why is the death penalty an issue?
Think Hitler and other murderers. The world is just better off without some people and without us having to pay taxes to keep them alive.
Its completely illogical. (That is why separation of church and state was literal) the church doesn't use logic which is part of the problem.
I have always been against DP. That's my personal opinion but I respect anyone who believes it is acceptable.
