Laws and Sausages

"Think of the Constitution the way you might think of a machine designed to make sausages. We want a sausage-making machine to provide us with food, but we also want to ensure that the sausages the machine produces are wholesome and untainted by disease. Because we do not want to have to inspect each and every sausage to see if it is wholesome, we want a machine whose design gives us confidence that it produces good sausages." - from Randy E. Barnett, "The Relevance of the Framers' Intent"
