Read "Myth of the Rule of Law" by John Hasnas, who is a professor of law at Georgetown. https://archive.org/stream/THEMYTHOFTHERULEOFLAWByJohnHasnas47/THE%20MYTH%20OF%20THE%20RULE%20OF%20LAW%20by%20John%20Hasnas-47_djvu.txt https://archive.org/stream/THEMYTHOFTHERULEOFLAWByJohnHasnas... It is the nature of law to be a negotiation among parties, with all of the properties of negotation that this implies – personal interests, wavering agreement. Believing that law can carry an objective authority disguises this reality and leaving the nature of law unacknowledged makes regulation of that system more difficult. You might argue that making law more formal or explicit can help here, but laws are already very formal and explicit, and being formal and explicit doesn't guarantee total consistency, maybe paraconsistency at best unless you're dealing with logics much less rich than those we can embed in natural language.
