Unclear laws should be nullified, not patched by judges.

After a few nullifications the legislators will learn to be more careful. Painful but positive process.

But, but, but, muh criminalz amok! You say. And yet convictions are thrown out all the time for unlawful searches.

"Unclear laws should be nullified,"

All laws are unclear.

Particularly the most important one, the Constitution.

They are forever in refinement.
