The CLARITY Act would create the first federal rules for digital assets. It gives the CFTC authority over crypto, lets companies raise money with less SEC oversight, and requires exchanges to follow anti-money-laundering rules. The Problem: It bans officials from profiting from crypto—but only the DOJ can enforce it, and the rule expires in 2029. That's not accountability. That's a performance. Bottom line: Sounds like clarity. Looks like control. Tested by scripture, it fails where it matters most—justice, checks and balances, and permanent ethics.

This paper explores the arguments put forward by scholars who hold to the figurative interpretation of this passage from Judges 11:29-40 and considers whether they are convincing.
