“law mouse”
Definition:

Dictionary of Unusual Constitutional Terms:

“law mouse”

n unconstitutional and sometimes anticonstitutional rodent which nibbles away

at the Constitution while escaping detection by all the ordinary means placed at the disposal
of a healthy administration of justice. The law mouse is a social beast, who, when once
exposed in his hiding place is often found to be in the company of numerous others of his
own species.

The law knows of no ordinary procedure to detect this infamous rodent in the invisible holes
and cracked recesses of the Constitutional edifice that are his natural habitat. One must
therefore have recourse to the one extraordinary remedy said to be effectual, which is: the
constitutional cat.
