How do you boil a frog?
My law school was a top 10, many of my classmates will go on to write laws or sit on the bench.
None of them cared what the constitution(state or fed) was, or what the law said, they wanted to know how to twist things their way.
In fact, as an example my 'education law' course was an entire term of how to force gay love education on private church schools, and how to force whites into class with blacks to make the blacks smarter or both equally dumb, and how to force whites to pay more shcool taxes to support black districts (the last is already the law in Michigan in just the last 6 years). The professor spent half the time explaining why their wild ass twists of the con wouldn't work because citizens would revolt.
It's just gonna get worse as people's revolt limit gets higher.
