: Please explain; "equity" as written in the "We the People" constitution at article III, section 2, Judicial power; The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in law and equity,


contract,
verbal or written,
express or implied in fact,
period.

As we say in the field of law,
"equity is brutal." If you agree
to stand on your head for 48 hours,
in return for valuable consideration,
a court can be convened to compel
your specific performance.

See Howard Freeman's essay in the
Supreme Law Library for a breezy
introduction to law, equity, and
admiralty.

p.s. To whom are you referring in
your UFO analogy, please?
