That proves my point, if anything.  We've made it this far (200+ years)
without an official language for drafting laws in, operating our courts in,
etc., yet somehow we still manage to get those things done.  I *really*
don't see how mandating an official language is going to add anything
positive to what seems to already just "work" (as much as our justice system
actually works).
