"It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood." - James Madison.

Brilliant as Madison was he didn't anticipate that the voluminous "laws" wouldn't even be drafted by our elected representatives.
