You are using much too narrow a definition of "law". Laws do not only restrain you from harming the liberty of others. They also restrain others from harming your liberty. Or, in this case, the law enables others to restrain your liberty, and gives you no remedy in the face of said constraint. Furthermore, law making does not end when the President signs a bill. Courts regularly interpret and shape laws in a manner that far exceeds the intent of the writers or the limitations of the Constitution. However, in the light of day, we have a remedy for this. We can appeal, in a public manner, such bad decisions, and reverse the over-reach of the lower courts. By allowing secret courts, you are, in fact, allowing secret law-making, because lacking the oversight of the public courts, the over-reach of the secret courts is unchecked.
