Why shouldn't the judges have to read the 2,400 page law?

Yesterday, Supreme Justice Scalia mocked Obama's attorney, saying, "You really expect us to read that 2,400 page law? We have court clerks for that."

And I'm thinking - yes, you should read it. Why shouldn't you read it, if you're the one who is supposed to be judging on it????

And as someone from the Obama regime said two years ago, it's not like it's 2,400 densely written pages. There's only a couple of paragraphs on each sheet. (Now, I haven't checked that myself, but that's what I remember this guy saying.)

One thing that I think would help this country is if we got rid of legalese. Right now we hire lawyers for everything "legal" that needs to be done - contracts and stuff, ad no one reads them because no one can understand them, because there's all this "why's and wherefores" and archaic English.

And then there's always some other lawyer who comes along and says, "No, paragraph E didn't mean this. It really meant that. So now we need to renegotiate."

What we need is to throw out all the Latin and all the archaic, polysyllabic verbiage, and render everything in plain English.
