"Really? Eighty volumes of Federal law? Of which you are master of..."
Very little of it, there's not much of it at all that I 'practically' understand.

About John Roberts... well, maybe there's a lot of stuff he doesn't understand.
Kind of "spacey".

A Wag: "Oh, is this now your own personal favorite US law?"
It's, oh, I, uh, wish you wouldn't, c'mon, why say things like, the very idea, where are you from, why did you think that could be a thing you were about, etc.
But it's now part of the *80* volumes of US Code.
"It's not a code, honestly."
Now you're learning.
Jeffrey Rubard

"Really? Eighty volumes of Federal law? Of which you are master of..."
Very little of it, there's not much of it at all that I 'practically' understand.
One used to say, additionally: "Even the Chief Justice doesn't understand all of it!"
About John Roberts... well, maybe there's a lot of stuff he doesn't understand.
Kind of "spacey".
Jeffrey Rubard

"Didn't Joe Biden build a monument to Emmett Till himself?"
I guess I remember reading that online? Anyhow, it wouldn't *quite* be the point, would it?

Wider World: "No, there really are eighty volumes of U.S. Code. So consider you're not the expert on it -- it's usually not even a good idea to bring it up..."

Maybe it's a good law anyhow.

Legal Dept: Does anyone know how the U.S. Code item mentioned here works better than I do?

"Can I try explaining another one to you?"
How about the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947?

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978? If you're "really so smart" about this stuff...

The USA Patriot Act? I act like I 'really know my stuff' about this, you see...

A Wag: "Oh, is this now your own personal favorite US law?"
It's, oh, I, uh, wish you wouldn't, c'mon, why say things like, the very idea, where are you from, why did you think that could be a thing you were about, etc.
But it's now part of the *80* volumes of US Code.
"It's not a code, honestly."
Now you're learning.
Jeffrey Rubard

"Really? Eighty volumes of Federal law? Of which you are master of..."
Very little of it, there's not much of it at all that I 'practically' understand.
One used to say, additionally: "Even the Chief Justice doesn't understand all of it!"
About John Roberts... well, maybe there's a lot of stuff he doesn't understand.
Kind of "spacey".
Jeffrey Rubard

"Didn't Joe Biden build a monument to Emmett Till himself?"
I guess I remember reading that online? Anyhow, it wouldn't *quite* be the point, would it?

Wider World: "No, there really are eighty volumes of U.S. Code. So consider you're not the expert on it -- it's usually not even a good idea to bring it up..."

Maybe it's a good law anyhow.

Legal Dept: Does anyone know how the U.S. Code item mentioned here works better than I do?

"Can I try explaining another one to you?"
How about the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947?

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978? If you're "really so smart" about this stuff...

The USA Patriot Act? I act like I 'really know my stuff' about this, you see...

The act that established Medicare and Medicaid? "If it has to be said..."

Wider World: "It was 1965. That law was passed in 1965."

"Which law?"
"The Medicare and Medicaid Act."

"That was the same year as the Civil Rights Act?"
Why yes, I believe that law was also passed in 1965.

"Wasn't that 1964?"
No, the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1964.
"Not 1963?"
No, 1964.

What about the George Floyd Fairness in Policing Act of 2021?

(Honestly, it seems weird to have put the names of George Floyd and Emmett Till in the laws' names.)

Okay!
