Every time I read this "Whereas" garbage I think I'm having a stroke. What a stupid archaic tradition that needs to be strangled to death with the wigs of the slavers who started it. It's 2025, fucking write like a real human being instead of a LARP. I swear to god they're all just the worst nerds in the world enabling genocide, war crimes, and social murder.
It is and it isn’t stupid. You need ironclad definitions, terms, ordering of arguments, because you need them to be legally ordered and structured.
‘However, vis a vis thereupon standing with parts herein andcetera andcetera’ they should hold a congress or conclave or council or whatever the fuck you want to call it and update the terms and update the documents to keep it modern, keep it vernacular, and keep it accessible to the body politic.
And here is where it gets stupid again: they’ll recoil at that idea and secretly a bunch of them only have jobs because they navigate the intentionally muddied waters for other people.
Lawyers are the modern role of like the old medieval ecclesiastical system, and they’re turning back into it. And a bunch of the mummies in congress like it that way.
I’m sorry. I’m rambling.
