David Boaz’s The Libertarian Mind reminds us of James Madison Federalist paper #62 “It will be of little avail to the people if the laws be so voluminous that they can not be read , so incoherent that they can not be understood and so changing that they can not be known.”
Authoritarians dependent on edicts, commands and orders without an underlying principle are tripped up by the result: lawlessness. “Where there is no law, there is no Freedom” as John Locke warned.
