Imagine if something like child support was determined by each individual judge's sense of fairness instead of legislated guidelines -- one judge thinks it's fair to allocate 80% of a man's income while another thinks 20% is fair. With written law, the rule is known.
The written word can be interpated differnt way i read a book i get one thing out of it you reasd the same and getsomething else out of it thats all i am saying

Yes but very few Judges follow the written lat to the word or they would never have to decide how do i sentence him or her all he would have to do is say "The Law says..." which i have heard but they still make their own decion
The written law(s) to me a a guideline, i have neevr heard or read where a JUdge follwed the written law to thword if they did, the 2nd Ammendnent says NOTHING about hand gun owbership ect, so the Judges interpret what they have the way thewy want, the 2nd Ammendment is Written law but exclusive or specific guide lne all it says is "The right o bear arms will not be infrigned upon" but what type arms?? a rifle, a AK47, an Uzi, A Canno
Thw rittne law is a guideline open to interpretation, if it weren't every criminal inthis country wuld face the exact same pentaly for the same crime, which rarely happens
