I have always been amazed at a trend in Freedom Movement types to think that if they can simply get in front of a judge and argue for something, like, I don’t owe the banks anything because the banks create credit from nothing, and that they will win given enough books and references. It does not work that way, as numerous people have found out. The legal system by definition acts to preserve the status quo. This is even true with cases like Mabo, because the status quo was changing in the direction of political correctness then, so the decision was completely in line with what the elites wanted. Anyway, argued below, South Africa is a good counter-example to legal fetishism:

“American conservatives have a touching faith in the power of written guarantees and legal codes to safeguard traditional liberties. This confidence in legalism is probably a product of America’s Anglo-Saxon heritage, but as demographics change, paper assurances of fundamental rights are likely to yield to the wishes of tribally orientated non-whites. In response, American conservatives may cling even more tightly to the founding documents: “At least I still have the Constitution,” as the popular meme reads. A look at current events in South Africa shows that demographic change can sweep aside even the most solemn constitutional guarantees. By an overwhelming majority, South Africa’s National Assembly recently approved the formation of a committee that will draft a constitutional change permitting expropriation of land without compensation. During the debate, an MP from the Economic Freedom Fighters party declared, “Your time is up, white people.”
