Carl Schmitt Quotes

How Did Kirchmann Understand The Worthlessness Of Jurisprudence ? The Answer Lies In The Aphorism: "Three Revisions By The Legislator And Whole Libraries Became Wastepaper." With A Sharp Alteration This Answer Became A Slogan:"A Stroke Of The Legislator's Pen And Whole Libraries Became Wastepaper." Another Aphorism In The Same Vein Made The Point Even More Brusquely And Less Politely: "Positive Law Turns The Jurist Into A Worm In Rotten Wood." Kirchmann Meant That Jurisprudence Could Never Catch Up With Legislation. Thus Our Predicament Becomes Immediately Obvious. What Remains Of A Science Reduced To Annotating And Interpreting Constantly Changing Regulations Issued By State Agencies Presumed To Be In The Best Position To Know And Articulate Their True Intent?
