If you're going to write about an old law that's obscure and "inartistic[ally]" written, shouldn't you actually quote the law so people can see why it shouldn't apply? I'm not a law professor and I didn't make law review or anything, but I don't think that would be a novel approach. Of course, we are talking Jonathan "Impeachment" Turley, the original insta-pundit in more ways than one.
