Totally agree. “Bottom up” slow emergence and development of law based on principles applied to real-world context is how jurisprudence arises.

“Top down” edict or decree is an affront to law, even when done by a legislature.

What began as merely codification of already developed law into a public record metastasized into legislation.

We need to amend this error. It was a big wrong turn.
