Do you have a background in law?

Reading through this comment thread is very interesting, I just can't help but try to understand how so many geeks are so well versed in case law :)

Not in the slightest, I recall hearing about this on the "What can trump teach us about con-law" (constitutional law).

I don't even live in america, but the system is interesting and rather well represented in the media. Few countries are as attached to their constitution as the US.

The law is just a programming language for government, thus a lot of programmers are attracted to it.

Especially since we see the government in need of debugging, but we don't see the cause of the bugs in the source code...
